Article Abstract
A novel type of mass casualty incident (MCI) occurred in Lebanon in September 2024, involving the detonation of weaponized communication devices "pagers and 2-way radios." The explosions resulted in 2931 injuries and 37 fatalities. This article explores the unique challenges posed by this event. It also highlights lessons learned to improve disaster preparedness and response strategies, emphasizing the importance of flexible triage, resilient communication systems, and comprehensive surge capacity.

Wearable stimulator for upper and lower limb somatotopic sensory feedback restoration.
IEEE Trans Biomed Circuits Syst
September 2025
Neuroprostheses capable of providing Somatotopic Sensory Feedback (SSF) enables the restoration of tactile sensations in amputees, thereby enhancing prosthesis embodiment, object manipulation, balance and walking stability. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) represents a primary noninvasive technique for eliciting somatotopic sensations. Devices commonly used to evaluate the effectiveness of TENS stimulation are often bulky and main powered.

Context: This study investigates the radiation tolerance of a SiGe source vertical tunnel field effect transistor (VTFET) under heavy ion-induced single event effects (SEEs). Single event effects (SEEs) occur when high-energy particles interact with semiconductor devices, leading to unintended behavior. The effect of high energy ions on the VTFET is examined for various linear energy transfer (LET) values and at multiple ion hit locations.

Achieving UVA/B-selective, skin-inspired nociceptors with perception and blockade functions at the single-unit device level remains challenging. This is because the device necessitates distinct components for every performance metric, thereby leading to complex preparation processes and restricted performance, as well as the absence of deep UV (UVB and below)-selective semiconductors. Here, to address this, we develop a structure-simplification skin-inspired nociceptor using a reverse type-II CuAgSbI/MoS heterostructure.

Previous research found that occupational therapy practitioners desired more training in assistive technology. This study provides further evidence on which assistive technology categories should be included in the education of occupational therapists in the United States, based on the practice setting. Participants were recruited through snowball sampling and were included if they were certified occupational therapists practicing in the United States.

Quantum dots (QDs) converted to micro light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged as a promising technology for next-generation display devices. However, their commercial application has been hindered by the susceptibility of QDs to photodegradation when directly exposed to an open environment. Here, we develop functional ligand zinc bis[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] phosphate (Zn(BMEP)) to passivate QD surface anions through a phosphine-mediated surface reaction.
