Moreover, we discuss the physicochemical phenomena owing to the interaction of electrical double layer when the characteristic length of the conducting media is decreased from the microscale to the nanoscale. Finally, we highlight the pioneering studies and the most recent works on electro osmotic flow devoted to both theoretical and experimental aspects.

To evaluate the feasibility in children of an intensive prospective data monitoring methodology for identifying precipitating conditions for migraine occurrence.

Migraine headaches are a common pain condition in childhood and can become increasingly chronic and disabling with repeated episodes. Identifying conditions that forecast when a child’s migraine is likely to occur may facilitate next-generation adaptive treatments to prevent future migraine attacks.

In this cohort study of a sample of 30 youth (ages 10-17) with migraine recruited through a pediatric headache clinic, smartphones supplemented with wearable biosensors were used over a period of 28days to collect contextual data thought to be potentially relevant to headache occurrence. Self-reported data on headache occurrence, lifestyle, and perceptions of the environment were collected in 4 epochs per day using custom real-time reporting software. Data derived from the wearable biosensor included information on autonomic arousal and physical actnts indicated difficulties with burden and remembering to wear the sensor. Almost all participants (29/30, 96.7%) agreed that they would want information about when a migraine might occur.

A contemporary data sampling approach comprising ambulatory sensors and real-time reporting appears to be acceptable to most youth with migraine in this study. Reliability of acquiring some data sources from participants’ own phones, however, was suboptimal. Further refining these data sampling methods may enable a novel means of predicting and preventing recurrences of migraine episodes in youth.

Women with a history of stillbirth have an almost five-fold increased risk of stillbirth in a subsequent pregnancy, as well as increased risk of other adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The reasons for this association are not well understood but could relate to recurrent causes. We aimed to determine whether information from the time of index stillbirth, including cause, is associated with outcome of a subsequent pregnancy.

A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a UK tertiary maternity center. Cases were included if stillbirth was investigated, subsequent pregnancy care was provided, and the birth occurred in the same unit. Data on maternal characteristics, findings of investigations, and classification of death using the ReCoDe system were extracted, and logistic regression was performed to determine whether these factors were associated with adverse outcome in the subsequent pregnancy.

In this cohort (n=266), there were 69 adverse outcomes, including three perinatal deaths. Preterm deliveisorders inform the risk of adverse outcome in subsequent pregnancy. In this cohort, information regarding maternal characteristics and classification of cause of stillbirth do not provide significant prognostic information about the risk of adverse outcome in subsequent pregnancies. Optimal management of maternal medical disorders and access to smoking cessation are essential.

Placental examination at time of stillbirth is important, as certain placental disorders inform the risk of adverse outcome in subsequent pregnancy. In this cohort, information regarding maternal characteristics and classification of cause of stillbirth do not provide significant prognostic information about the risk of adverse outcome in subsequent pregnancies. Optimal management of maternal medical disorders and access to smoking cessation are essential.

Sylvia Wynter’s “recoded” form of science called decolonial Scientia (DS) is grounded in an understanding of humans as simultaneously biological and cultural. DS includes narrative interventions that destabilize Western scientific authority, and address limitations that empirical data collection and analysis place on capturing simultaneous realities. Scriptaid inhibitor Therefore, Wynter’s narrative “languaging” is both scientific critique and grounded in a tradition of Black radical imagining.

In this article, I use languaging to destabilize the canonical narrative tied to W. M. Cobb’s production of the article “Race and Runners.” The standard telling focuses on Cobb’s examination of Owens’ lower extremities to expose the fallacy of racial differences in athletic ability. Destabilization of the narrative allows for identifying relational complexities between actors involved in the canonical story – and identifying ideologies embedded within it that guide our deconstructions of biological race. My alter(ed)native subjectivit Duncan as a peer.

More than mere stories, narratives are motivating and instructive forces that shape how we study human biology and use our research to oppose biological notions of race. Correspondence between Cobb and Duncan reveals how Western scientific ideologies that reinforce prescribed roles and boundaries are embedded in narratives. These ideologies can limit the transformative potential of our approaches to contesting biological notions of race.
