Objective: To study the effects of electrical stimulation on cortical activation patterns.

Materials And Methods: Optical imaging of auditory cortex in cats that are acutely and chronically electrically stimulated with cochlear implants.

Results: Chronic electrical stimulation results in expansion of cortical territory and overlap.

Conclusion: Effects of chronic electrical stimulation are comparable to use-dependent cortical plastic reorganization.

Purpose: Increasing life expectancy and advances in cancer treatment will lead to more patients needing both radiation therapy (RT) and cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). CIEDs, including pacemakers and defibrillators, are essential for managing cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure. Telemetric monitoring of CIEDs checks battery status, lead function, settings, and diagnostic data, thereby identifying software deviations or damage.

Physiological wound healing process can restore the functional and structural integrity of skin, but is often delayed due to external disturbance. The development of methods for promoting the repair process of skin wounds represents a highly desired and challenging goal. Here, a flexible, self-powered, and multifunctional triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) wound patch (e-patch) is presented for accelerating wound healing through the synergy of electrostimulation and photothermal effect.
