Compliant mechanisms with reconfigurable degrees of freedom are gaining attention in the development of kinesthetic haptic devices, robotic systems, and mechanical metamaterials. However, available devices exhibit limited programmability and form-customizability, restricting their versatility. To address this gap, we propose a metastructure concept featuring reconfigurable motional freedom and tunable stiffness, adaptable to various form factors and applications.

This study characterized the dissolution properties of two commercially available bone substitutes: (1) A calcium sulfate (CaS)/brushite/β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) graft containing 75% CaS and 25% calcium phosphate; and (2) a CaS/hydroxyapatite (HA) bone graft substitute composed of 60% CaS and 40% HA. Graft material was cast into pellets (4.8 mm outer diameter × 3.

Imaging is a key component of diagnosis and treatment response evaluation of urinary tract tuberculosis (UT TB). Tuberculosis can have a long latency, but if found early, one may have the opportunity to prevent complications such as ureteral strictures, obstructive nephropathy, contracted (thimble) bladder, renal parenchymal destruction/calcification, and renal failure. Imaging can aid in diagnosis and differential diagnoses, evaluate the extent of disease and complications, and guide image-directed biopsy, surgical planning, and evaluation of treatment response.
