Cultural Effects on the Performance of Older Haitian Immigrants on Timed Cognitive Tests.
Med Res Arch
November 2024
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Florida Atlantic University, 777 Glades Road, EE 428 & 526, Boca Raton, FL, 33431.
Background: Ignoring the cultural factors that can affect performance on cognitive tests may result in use of tests that have not been validated for that group. One example is testing of Haitian Creole speaking adults who are increasingly affected by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, for whom few tests have been validated.
Aims: Our purpose is to describe differences in timed test performance between Haitian Creole and English-speaking participants and explore factors that may account for any differences in results found.
Utilizing Tissues Self-Assembled in Fiber Optic-Based "Chinese Guzheng Strings" for Contractility Sensing and Drug Efficacy Evaluation: A Practical Approach.

State Key Laboratory of Biocatalysis and Enzyme Engineering, Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering Manufacture Center, School of Life Science, Hubei University, Wuhan, Hubei, 430062, China.
Recent advances in drug design and compound synthesis have highlighted the increasing need for effective methods of toxicity evaluation. A specialized force sensor, known as the light wavelength-encoded "Chinese guzheng" is developed. This innovative sensor is equipped with optical fiber strings and utilizes a wavelength-encoded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) that is chemically etched to reduce its diameter.

JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle.
Importance: For patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), the presence of kidney dysfunction can substantially shape prognosis and treatment options. Yet little is known about the lived experiences of these medically vulnerable patients.
Objective: To elicit accounts of the illness and care experiences of patients currently or recently hospitalized with ADHF and kidney dysfunction in order to identify potential opportunities to improve care.
Ultra-Fast Moisture Sensor for Respiratory Cycle Monitoring and Non-Contact Sensing Applications.

Henry Royce Institute and Photon Science Institute, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK.
As human-machine interface hardware advances, better sensors are required to detect signals from different stimuli. Among numerous technologies, humidity sensors are critical for applications across different sectors, including environmental monitoring, food production, agriculture, and healthcare. Current humidity sensors rely on materials that absorb moisture, which can take some time to equilibrate with the surrounding environment, thus slowing their temporal response and limiting their applications.

The mammary epithelium has an inner luminal layer that contains estrogen receptor (ER)-positive hormone-sensing cells and ER-negative alveolar/secretory cells, and an outer basal layer that contains myoepithelial/stem cells. Most human tumours resemble either hormone-sensing cells or alveolar/secretory cells. The most widely used molecular classification, the Intrinsic classification, assigns hormone-sensing tumours to Luminal A/B and human epidermal growth factor 2-enriched (HER2E)/molecular apocrine (MA)/luminal androgen receptor (LAR)-positive classes, and alveolar/secretory tumours to the Basal-like class.
