Front cover image: Given a rise in the popularity of wearable electronics that are able to deform into desirable configurations while preserving electrochemical functionality, stretchable and flexible supercapacitors (SCs) have become increasingly interest as innovative energy storage devices. In article number: 10.1002/cey2.320, Amiri et al. investigated various advancements upcoming prospects...

BACKGROUND Several mechanisms were suggested in the past to explain the beneficial effect of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in patients suffering from neuropathic pain. Little is known about potential supraspinal mechanisms. OBJECTIVE In this study cortical signaling of patients with neuropathic pain and successful long-term treatment with SCS was analyzed. STUDY DESIGN Observational study. ...

This study aims to investigate how (ANG) affects the (SCS), using framework of affective event theory. Furthermore, seeks shed light on specific ways in which different aspects impact "(SCS)".by exploring potential mediating role (PCB). The study's primary objective is provide people might lessen (ANG's) deleterious effects their (SCS) by investigating these pathways. Data from 415 individuals ...

We sought to assess the extent to which pain relief in chronic back and leg pain (CBLP) following spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is influenced by patient-related factors, including pain location, and technology factors. A number of electronic databases were searched with citation searching of included papers and recent systematic reviews. All study designs were included. The primary outcome was ...

The Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method is widely used for predicting direct runoff volume for a given rainfall event. The applicability of the SCSCN method and the runoff generation mechanism were thoroughly analysed in a Mediterranean experimental watershed in Hyderabad. The region is characterized by a Mediterranean semi-arid climate. A detailed land cover and soil survey ...

Vibrissal follicle-sinus complexes (F-SCs) are sensory receptors of the mammalian integument system. They are best developed within Pinnipedia. The objective of this study was to investigate the F-SCs of bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) for benthic foraging adaptations. Bearded seals possessed approximately 244 mystacial F-SCs. In this species, F-SCs consisted of an outer dermal capsule (DC)...

The accurate estimation of the hydrologic response in water resources planning and development is crucial. In this study, rainfall-runoff relationship Devgadh Baria watershed Panam river catchment were investigated. Due to limited availability accuracy runoff data, Clark UH, SCS UH models explored for estimation. Remote sensing GIS techniques integrated assess ungauged Middle Gujarat region.&#x...

Hydrologic models can be categorized as being either Newtonian or Darwinian in nature. The Newtonian approach requires a thorough understanding of the individual physical processes acting in a watershed in order to build a detailed hydrologic model based on the conservation equations. The Darwinian approach seeks to explain the behavior of a hydrologic system as a whole by identifying simple an...

INTRODUCTION Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is recommended for the treatment of postsurgical chronic back and leg pain refractory to other treatments. We wanted to estimate the incidence and predictive factors of SCS treatment in our lumbar surgery cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS Three questionnaires (a self-made questionnaire, the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, and the Beck Dep...

BACKGROUND Patients with "refractory angina" (RA) unsuitable for coronary revascularization experience high levels of hospitalization and poor health-related quality of life. Randomized trials have shown spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to be a promising treatment for chronic stable angina and RA; however, none has compared SCS with usual care (UC). The aim of this pilot study was to address the k...
