Wearable microneedle (MN) patches have emerged as a transformative platform for biosensing, offering a minimally invasive and user-friendly approach to real-time health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Primarily designed to access interstitial fluid...
PURPOSE: Minimally invasive needle-based interventions are commonly used in cancer diagnosis and treatment, including procedures, such as biopsy, brachytherapy, and microwave ablation. Although MR-guided needle placement offers several distinct advan...

BACKGROUND: Acupuncture is a widely practiced traditional therapy, yet safety concerns, particularly needle breakage and retention, remain critical issues that can lead to complications such as infections, organ injury, or chronic pain. This study ai...
INTRODUCTION/AIMS: To add objectivity to the routine needle electromyography examination, we describe an "Augmented Intelligence" based interference pattern (IP) analysis method that mimics the subjective assessment by quantifying IP fullness, discre...

The current study focused on the development of crosslinked hydrogel microneedle patches (cHMNs) incorporating 5-FU-hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complex-loaded flexible PEGylated liposomes (5-FU-HPβCD-loaded FP-LPs) to enhance treatment ...
Plant electrical signals serve as a medium for long-distance signal transmission and are intricately linked to plant stress responses. High-fidelity acquisition and analysis of plant electrophysiological signals contribute to early stress identificat...

PURPOSE: Percutaneous puncture is a common interventional procedure, and its effectiveness is influenced by the insertion force of the needle. To optimize outcomes, we focus on reducing the peak force of the needle in the skin, aiming to apply this m...
BACKGROUND: In MR-guided in-bore percutaneous needle interventions, typically 2D interactive real-time imaging is used for navigating the needle into the target. Misaligned 2D imaging planes can result in losing visibility of the needle in the 2D ima...
