Quantitative ultrasound imaging over the ischial tuberosity: An exploratory study to inform tissue health
Diagnostic ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive, economical, widely available, and efficient tool providing information regarding soft tissue integrity of the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, tendons and joints [1 –4]. Brightness mode (B-mode) diagnostic ultrasound produces gray scale images [5], which enable visualization of tissue thickness, muscle size and quality, orientation of blood vessels and progression of inflammation and has been used to document soft tissue injury, assess wound healing, evaluate changes in scar tissue and examine the effect of atrophy secondary to steroid use [6,7] and diseased s...

Investigating thermal performance of different chairs at the user-seat interface by a temperature sensor array system while participants perform office work
Recently, there has been an escalating trend towards sedentary lifestyle in the modern society (i.e. reading books, watching movies or driving cars). It has been estimated that the proportion of time spent sitting accounts for more than one third of a person's total life-time [1]. Though conducting office work on a chair (i.e. administration and consultation) is less physically demanding, prolonged uncomfortable sitting has been associated with many health issues, such as low back pain, cervical spondylosis, and malnourished intervertebral discs [1,2].

Laminin peptide YIGSR enhances epidermal development of skin equivalents
Since the use of animal experimentation is restricted with regard to cosmetic materials, alternative in vitro models such as skin equivalents (SEs) are needed. Laminin is one of the major non-collagenous glycoproteins. The pentapeptide YIGSR (Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg) is a functional motif of laminin that binds to the laminin receptor. In the present study, we examined whether YIGSR could improve the rec onstruction of SEs. YIGSR has no effects on monolayer cell proliferation of CCD25-Sk fibroblasts or HaCaT keratinocytes.

In examining the performance of support surfaces, most studies have focused on mattresses and pressure-relieving devices for hospitalized patients, who spend much of their day in the lying position. This is to be expected as many of these patients present with factors such as immobility and co-morbidities, which makes them at high risk of developing pressure ulcers. Nonetheless it is well-established that individuals who sit during much of their daily lives, either in wheelchairs or leisure chairs, are just as likely to develop pressure ulcers.
