Biomechanical Design, Additive Manufacturing, and Proof-of-Concept Evaluation of a 3D-Printed Transradial Prosthesis with a Manual Ratchet-Type Locking Mechanism

Background/Objectives: Upper-limb loss represents a critical clinical and socioeconomic challenge globally. While myoelectric devices offer multi-articulated grasping, their high cost restricts access in low-resource settings. This work presents the preliminary biomechanical desi...

Proximate Composition, Phytochemical Profile, and Antioxidant Activity of Flamboyant (Delonix regia) Seed Fractions

Delonix regia seeds are an underutilized legume resource containing protein and galactomannan-rich polysaccharides. This study evaluated the proximate composition, some phytochemicals, and in vitro antioxidant capacity of flamboyant seeds (FWS), germ (FG), defatted germ (DFG), an...

Quantifying the Energy Performance Gap in Low-Pressure Sugarcane Cogeneration: A Seven-Harvest Daily-Resolution Analysis of Simulated Potential Versus Realized Grid Export

Simulation studies of surplus electricity in sugarcane cogeneration almost universally assume stable nominal operation, and the sector literature qualitatively acknowledges that many surplus projects underperform; however, this discrepancy has not been systematically quantified a...

Preoperative embolization for glioblastoma surgery: A scoping review

Background: Preoperative embolization for glioblastoma (GBM) is a relatively uncommon procedure, and few studies have described its role as an adjunct to surgery. Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE via Ovid, and ScienceDirect were searched following the Preferred Reporting Items for Scopin...
