Then, we summarize the driving principles and structures of various common driving methods from the perspective of bionics, and discuss the latest developments in the field of soft robot actuation from the perspective of driving modalities and methodologies. We then discuss the application directions of bio-inspired soft robots and the latest developments in each direction. Finally, after an in-depth review of various soft bio-inspired robot driving technologies in recent years, we summarize the issues and challenges encountered in the advancement of soft robot actuation technology.
文摘Reproductive medicine has been transformed by assisted reproductive technologies(ART),providing multiple options for infertile couples to conceive biological offspring.The medical and legal frameworks,governing the practice of embryologists in ART,focus on the ethical and safe handling of gametes and embryos.Embryologists play a crucial role in the success of ART procedures,requiring technical expertise and a thorough understanding of legal and ethical considerations.The importance of quality control,safety protocols,and sterility in ART laboratories is essential to ensure optimal embryo development and patient well-being.The legal responsibilities of an embryologist under the Assisted Reproductive Technology(Regulation)Act,2021 in India are required.This review emphasizes the importance of record-keeping,patient confidentiality,informed consent,and adherence to legal and ethical standards to minimize the risk of malpractice claims.Overall,this narrative review provides a detailed overview of the medical,legal,and ethical frameworks governing embryologists'practice in ART,underscoring the significance of responsible and ethical conduct in this rapidly advancing field.

文摘Basic medical education is the cornerstone of healthcare development,directly impacting the well-being of a nation’s population.The advancement of modern medicine has raised increasing demands on the research capabilities of medical students.Therefore,it is crucial to foster their research interests and cultivate their research skills early in their education.As core components of basic medical science and introductory courses to immerse medical students in the intricate microscopic world of the human body,histology and embryology are indispensable in medical education,igniting their curiosity.Incorporating cutting-edge research into education courses can effectively stimulate medical students’research interests.This article primarily focuses on histology and embryology to explore how the latest scientific advancements and emerging technologies can be incorporated into basic medical curricula,offering insights and suggestions for future developments in medical education.
文摘Introduction Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),as a primary treatment for coronary artery disease,has made significant strides in both technology and clinical practice since its inception.However,long-term management of post-PCI patients,particularly restenosis prevention and disease progression control,continues to face numerous challenges[1].Insufficient patient adherence to lifestyle interventions and secondary prevention,coupled with low utilization of cardiac rehabilitation,leads to a sustained increase in the risk of postoperative adverse cardiac events[2,3].The rapid development of digital health technologies(DHTs)offers opportunities to overcome these persistent difficulties.This editorial reviewed the latest applications and multiple challenges,and suggested future directions of DHTs in post-PCI patients(Figure 1).
文摘The 2025 Shanghai Auto Show reaffirmed its role as one of the world’s most influential automotive industry events,offering a panoramic view of the future shaped by intelligent and electrified vehicles.With over 200 new models on display-85 percent of them new energy vehicles-this year’s show spotlighted how the global auto industry is pivoting rapidly towards an era of software-defined and AI-powered mobility.

文摘Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS)is a dynamic progression during growth,which requires long-term collaborations and efforts from clinicians,patients and their families.It would be beneficial to have a precise intervention based on cross-scale understandings of the etiology,real-time sensing and actuating to enable early detection,screening and personalized treatment.We argue that merging computational intelligence and wearable technologies can bridge the gap between the current trajectory of the techniques applied to AIS and this vision.Wearable technologies such as inertial measurement units(IMUs)and surface electromyography(sEMG)have shown great potential in monitoring spinal curvature and muscle activity in real-time.For instance,IMUs can track the kinematics of the spine during daily activities,while sEMG can detect asymmetric muscle activation patterns that may contribute to scoliosis progression.Computational intelligence,particularly deep learning algorithms,can process these multi-modal data streams to identify early signs of scoliosis and adapt treatment strategies dynamically.By using their combination,we can find potential solutions for a better understanding of the disease,a more effective and intelligent way for treatment and rehabilitation.
文摘Building HVAC equipment installation is vital for indoor comfort,energy efficiency,and environmental quality.Key technologies like vibration control,pipe network alignment,and thermal stress compensation,along with a multi-faceted quality standards framework,are crucial.Effective process management,practical application analysis,and the integration of robotics,IoT,and AI enhance quality and efficiency.Sustainable development strategies and lifecycle-oriented quality management are also essential for future progress.
