FIRST-IN-HUMAN DEMONSTRATION OF FLOATING EMG SENSORS AND STIMULATORS WIRELESSLY POWERED AND OPERATED BY VOLUME CONDUCTION

First-in-human demonstration of floating EMG sensors and stimulators wirelessly powered and operated by volume conduction

Abstract Background Recently we reported the design and evaluation of floating semi-implantable devices that receive power from and bidirectionally communicate with an external system using coupling by volume conduction.The approach, of which the semi-implantable devices are proof-of-concept prototypes, may overcome some limitations presented by ex

Barriers Influencing Vaccine Development Timelines, Identification, Causal Analysis, and Prioritization of Key Barriers by KOLs in General and Covid-19 Vaccine R&D

A frequently mentioned factor holding back the introduction of new vaccines on the market are their prohibitively long development timelines.These hamper their potential societal benefit and impairs the ability to quickly respond to emerging new pathogens.This is especially worrisome since new pathogens are emerging at all-time high rates of over o

Multiple myeloma presenting as acute tubulointerstitial nephritis

Background: Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) is a very rare paraneoplastic manifestation in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).It is an uncommon pattern of renal disease in such patients.Case presentation: We report a case of an 82-year-old male who was admitted with acute kidney injury.Renal biopsy showed typical findings of light chaina
