Cold Atmospheric Plasma Disrupts Microbial Wound Bioburden: In Vitro, Porcine MRSA Biofilm, and Clinical Fluorescence Evidence from Bench to Bedside

Background: Biofilm-associated microbial burden is a major barrier to wound healing and is increasingly difficult to control in the era of antimicrobial resistance. This translational study evaluated the antimicrobial performance and tissue compatibility of a commercially availab...

How to Benchmark Post-Quantum Accelerators

With the recent standardisation of several post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms, there is an increased focus within the hardware research community to investigate efficient accelerator designs. However, it is difficult to determine whether the reported results are directly...

Sensory data-driven classification of complex regional pain syndrome: a multicentre cohort study

BACKGROUND: The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) have been under debate in recent years. Previous studies identified mechanistic CRPS subtypes, which were characterised as 'cold' and 'warm' or peripheral and central phenotypes. Our...
