Additive manufacturing is a valid solution to build complex geometries, including lightweight structures. Among these, gyroids offer a viable concept for bone tissue application, although many preliminary trials would be required to validate the design before actual implantation. In this frame, this study is aimed at presenting the background and the steps to build a numerical simulation to extract the mechanical behaviour of the structure, thus reducing the experimental effort. The results of the simulation are compared to the actual outcome resulting from quasi-static compressive tests and the effectiveness of the model is measured with reference to similar studies presented in the literature about other lightweight structures.

Ultrasound-Based Local Lung Motion Assessment Using Synthetic Lateral Phase.
J Clin Ultrasound

JD Hamilton Consulting, Brighton, Michigan, USA.
Background: Ultrasound lung surface motion measurement is valuable for the evaluation of a variety of diseases. Speckle tracking or Doppler-based techniques are limited by the loss of visualization as a tracked point moves under ribs or is dependent.
Methods: We developed a synthetic lateral phase-based algorithm for tracking lung motion to overcome these limitations.
Mechano-gated iontronic piezomemristor for temporal-tactile neuromorphic plasticity.

In bioneuronal systems, the synergistic interaction between mechanosensitive piezo channels and neuronal synapses can convert and transmit pressure signals into complex temporal plastic pulses with excitatory and inhibitory features. However, existing artificial tactile neuromorphic systems struggle to replicate the elaborate temporal plasticity observed between excitatory and inhibitory features in biological systems, which is critical for the biomimetic processing and memorizing of tactile information. Here we demonstrate a mechano-gated iontronic piezomemristor with programmable temporal-tactile plasticity.

In this study, we present for the first time the landscape of the lung microbiota in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia in Intensive Care Units in Saudi Arabia. DNA from 83 deep endotracheal aspirate lung samples was subjected to PacBio sequencing to identify pathogens in comparison with conventional diagnostic techniques. Patients on ventilation with pneumonia presented with similar lung flora to those of patients on ventilation without pneumonia.

The interaction between dissolved organic matter (DOM) and ferrihydrite (Fh) is a crucial process to control the environmental behavior of heavy metals (HMs) in soil environments, with DOM playing a particularly strong role in HMs fate. Since chemical properties of DOM vary based on different soil parent materials, the underlying impact of DOM-Fh associations on HMs binding remains unclear. This study systematically investigated the interactions between DOM from three soil parent materials (fluvial alluvium: FDOM, sand-shale: SDOM and granite: GDOM) and Fh, and meanwhile understand their effects on the environmental behavior of Cd and Pb under various environmental conditions.

Background: Pain and depression are common complications in patients with advanced cancer, which significantly affects their quality of life and survival. Dysregulation of the JAK/STAT3 pathway in the central nervous system is associated with pain and brain inflammatory disorders, but its role in bone cancer pain (BCP) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the specific role of the JAK/STAT3 pathway in the amygdala in BCP.
