Alginate fiber toughened gels similar to skin intelligence as ionic sensors.

The stretchable hydrogels provide potential alternatives to bionic skins. However, skin simulation remains seriously challenging due to its complex nature, including mechanical property, protective effect, and sensory capability. Herein, conductive gels toughened by sodium alginate fibers in oil-water system were developed for preparation of skin-like ionic sensors. The dynamic network was constru...

Decreased Hemoglobin Concentration and Iron Metabolism Disorder in Periodontitis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a possible infectious component. Anemia of inflammation (AI) occurring in various chronic diseases alters the hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and iron status. Currently, the association between periodontitis and AI is still controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the alterations of the level of hematological parameters and iron metabol...

Regular cold water swimming during winter time affects resting hematological parameters and serum erythropoietin.

Recreational winter swimming in cold sea water evokes body responses to regularly repeated cold water immersion. However, the understanding of adaptiv...
