Designing usable forms of topical haemostatic agents is the most important activity during the design process, resulting in strengthened functional properties of the final medical devices. This study aimed to propose indications for a research programme based on risk management supporting the development of two usable forms of a topical haemostatic agent: chitosan/alginate lyophilized foam and chitosan/alginate impregnated gauze. Both of the usable forms of the topical haemostatic agent, being the main part of the modified combat gauze, were fabricated using the chitosan/alginate complex. Risk analysis is helpful in developing an appropriate research programme, significantly reducing the risk to an acceptable level.

Identifying the driver nodes of a network has crucial implications in biological systems from unveiling causal interactions to informing effective intervention strategies. Despite recent advances in network control theory, results remain inaccurate as the number of drivers becomes too small compared to the network size, thus limiting the concrete usability in many real-life applications. To overcome this issue, we introduced a framework that integrates principles from spectral graph theory and output controllability to project the network state into a smaller topological space formed by the Laplacian network structure.

Introduction: This comparative study examines the complexities of adverse event reporting forms for medical devices across various nations. Despite rigorous clinical trials and surveillance techniques, variations persist in processes and data elements used to report adverse events. The study highlights the importance of standardizing adverse event reporting for medical devices and suggests a comprehensive 'Generic Adverse Event Reporting Form' to accurately determine causality.

This pilot study evaluated the design, usability, and practicality of the dPDT@home kit for treating actinic keratoses (AKs) on the face and scalp. The kit allowed patients to manage their treatment at home, reducing hospital visits and utilizing natural sunlight. While patients were very willing to use the kit again, further studies are required to evaluate outcomes and ascertain the need for additional improvements and support.

The ECM is a complex and dynamic meshwork of proteins that forms the framework of all multicellular organisms. Protein interactions within the ECM are critical to building and remodeling the ECM meshwork, while interactions between ECM proteins and cell surface receptors are essential for the initiation of signal transduction and the orchestration of cellular behaviors. Here, we report the development of MatriCom, a web application (https://matrinet.
