Study of a Novel Bi‐Layered Thermoplastic Polyurethane Patch for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Large congenital diaphragmatic hernia remains a challenge due to the poor compatibility of current prostheses. To tackle this problem, a bilayer thermoplastic polyurethane patch with tunable mechanical properties is engineered, whose fibrous side supports rapid fibroblast and myoblast colonization, while the smooth film limits adhesions.

Duramesh™ versus conventional suture for prevention of trocar-site hernia following laparoscopic surgery (TROCAR): study protocol for a double-blind randomised controlled trial

Trials
Background Trocar-site hernia is an underappreciated condition with estimates of approximately 25% at 2 years follow-up. Duramesh™ has emerged as a novel product with potential benefits for incisional hernia prevention.

Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Interstitial Hernia: Laparoscopic Approach

Case Reports in Surgery, 2015
Interstitial hernias are a rare entity. Most of them are detected incidentally on imaging studies. We present a case of abdominal bowel obstruction secondary to interstitial hernia on the fifth postoperative day of an open incisional hernia repair ...

Unlocking the Potential of MXene‐Based Electrochemical Biosensors: A Review of Biofunctionalization Strategies and Biosensing Principles

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electrochemical biosensors enable the accurate and timely detection of clinical biomarkers, improving healthcare and precision medicine. MXene nanosheets, a class of 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, are promising materials for developing next‐generation electrochemical biosensors due to their unique physicochemical ...

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Retracted: MicroRNA‐520c enhances cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by suppressing IRF2 in gastric cancer

FEBS Open Bio, 2016
Dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) is actively involved in the development and progression of gastric cancer (GC). MiR‐520c was previously found to be overexpressed in GC specimens and cells.

Abdominal wall failure

Journal of Minimal Access Surgery
Abstract Generalised weakness of the abdominal wall can lead to its failure to contain the abdominal viscera within the confines of the abdominal cavity, resulting in simultaneous hernias at different sites. We propose that this entity should be termed ‘abdominal wall failure’, and the laparoscopic approach is ideal for the management of such

Nomenclature in Abdominal Wall Hernias: Is It Time for Consensus?

World Journal of Surgery, 2017
Abdominal wall reconstruction is a rapidly evolving area of surgical interest. Due to the increase in prevalence and size of ventral hernias and the high recurrence rates, the academic community has become motivated to find the best reconstruction ...
