This study introduces a method for measuring the voltage transients (VTs) in different stimulation configurations as a function of stimulation rate. Utilizing a stimulator with two-electrode setup and an isolated input oscilloscope, VTs across monopolar (MP), bipolar (BP), tripolar (TP), and partial tripolar (PTP) stimulation configurations could be measured with a proper reference electrode (Ag|AgCl) without a potentiostat or custom-built stimulator. We tested this methodology with Utah electrode arrays (UEAs) with sputtered iridium oxide film (SIROF) electrodes and amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) encapsulation in rat cortex at 24 weeks. Our investigation revealed the impact of quasi-reference electrode (QRE) polarization, which leads to underestimating the chargeinjection capacity-max(Q)-for electrode characterization.Clinical Relevance-This research offers advancement in understanding electrode behavior during neural stimulation, emphasizing the importance of protocol optimization for enhanced clinical outcomes in neural stimulation.

The immunomodulatory effects and excellent tolerability of polysaccharides make them optimal candidates for pulmonary vaccine adjuvants. Yet, the structure-immunostimulatory activity relationship of polysaccharides remains unrevealed. Here, we developed nanovaccines decorated with four polysaccharides of distinct structures─hyaluronic acid (HA), pectin (PC), chondroitin sulfate (SC), and heparan sulfate (SH)─all sharing similar particle sizes and zeta potential.

Objective: Pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) and functional low-frequency acoustic hearing in the implanted ear could be fit with an electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) device, which is the combination of acoustic and CI technologies in one device. Outcomes for this unique patient population are currently unknown. The present study assessed the speech recognition of pediatric EAS users with UHL.

Background: Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) is a non-invasive approach to deep brain stimulation. However, most research has focused on the intensity of modulation, with limited attention given to the directional properties of the induced electric fields, despite their potential importance for precise stimulation.
New Methods: A novel analytical framework was developed to analyze TIS-induced electric field directions using individual imaging data.
