Temporal modulation based on phase transition rule of natural wound healing is of significant importance for high-performance tissue regeneration, thus avoiding potential risks from prolonged healing period. Unfortunately, most existing wound dressings cannot realize programmed temporal modulation, which greatly limits their further development in fast tissue regeneration. Here, we demonstrate a magnetoelectric wound dressing (MWD) that can achieve micro-ampere level & wireless electric output and programmed temporal modulation. The MWD is mainly composed of two parts: a multi-layered magnetoelectric dressing integrated with liquid metal (LM) coils and conductive interfaces, as well as a wearable 3D-printed accessory. In response to variable changes in magnetic flux from the outside accessory, input electricity from LM coil could be generated into wounded niche and adjusted to satisfy requirements of different biological stages. Experimental results indicated that low-level input facilitated macrophage M2 polarization during inflammatory phase, and high-level input activated behaviors of fibroblasts in proliferative stage, thus achieving an ultra-fast early-stage wound healing outcome. Overall, a promising concept is presented here to develop an intelligent wound caring system that can achieve on-demand temporal modulation for ultra-fast early-stage wound healing and thus avoid potential risks during prolonged healing process.

The human auditory system must distinguish relevant sounds from noise. Severe hearing loss can be treated with cochlear implants (CIs), but how the brain adapts to electrical hearing remains unclear. This study examined adaptation to unilateral CI use in the first and seventh months after CI activation using speech comprehension measures and electroencephalography recordings, both during passive listening and an active spatial listening task.

Background: The dysregulation of long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) causes several complex human diseases including neurodegenerative disorders across the globe.
Methods And Results: This study aimed to investigate lncRNA expression profiles of Withania somnifera (WS)-treated human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells at different timepoints (3 & 9 h) and concentrations (50 & 100 µg/mL) using RNA sequencing. Differential gene expression analysis showed a total of 4772 differentially expressed lncRNAs, out of which 3971 were upregulated and 801 were downregulated compared to controls.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive value of the preoperative orientation and offset of angle alpha(chord alpha) and angle kappa(chord mu) for visual outcomes in patients who underwent trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: Patient records of eyes that underwent AT LISA tri 839MP implantation were retrospectively collected and grouped according to the preoperative offset and orientations of chord alpha and chord mu. The two-dimensional location of each angle was described by the interaction of the orientation and offset.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 16 weeks of functional versus dual-task training on aspects of pain in older women with chronic nonspecific low back pain.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 38 participants aged 60 to 79 years divided into 2 groups: functional training (FT) and dual-task training (DT). We assessed pressure pain threshold (PPT), temporal summation of pain, conditioned pain modulation (CPM), trunk instability, isometric strength, and endurance of trunk muscles before and 16 weeks after training.

Background: The coevolutionary arms race between echolocating bats and tympanate moths has driven the evolution of ultrasound-mediated escape behaviors in moths. Bat-emitted ultrasonic pulses vary in sound intensity and temporal structure, with pulse repetition rate (PRR) which intrinsically encode critical information about predation risk, i.e.
