Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) is a viable reconstructive option for complex tissue defects. Although grafts with large muscular component may be uniquely susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) syndrome, the safe cold ischemia time in VCA has not been established. We investigated effects of on innate immune response and recipient survival murine orthotopic hindlimb transplantation model. Surprisingly, mice receiving exposed 6 h or longer storage demonstrated reduced...
Abstract Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) have emerged as a novel governance mechanism that operates through distributed ledgers and smart contracts, enabling members to direct an organization's actions.

However, there is a significant lack research that examines public attitudes towards this technology. paper, we begin address issue and present results from series focus groups which explored views concerns about engaging with new models personal UK. We found participants were broadly favour shift decentralised sharing. Retaining...
In recent years we have seen the adoption of distributed ledger technology (DLT), originally mechanism underpinning operation Bitcoin crypto currency, across a wider range sectors including healthcare. DLT allows for design informatics systems with properties immutability, security, and decentralization. One innovation in space has been specification development Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). NFTs are decentralized DLT-based records that represent ownership unique digital asset. The predominant...
