Implantation of subcutaneous heart rate data loggers in southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) [PDF]
, 2017 Unlike most phocid species (Phocidae), Mirounga leonina (southern elephant seals) experience a catastrophic moult where they not only replace their hair but also their epidermis when ashore for approximately 1 month.

Wound closure with absorbable sutures [PDF]
The Laryngoscope, 1976 AbstractFor many years, we have used 6‐0 catgut for closure of epithelial and superficial dermal wound edges. Only when absolutely necessary do we use deeper dermal or subcutaneous sutures. The superficial suturing is supplemented with antitension skin taping.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A UV‐triggered injectable dual‐network hydrogel is reported as the first application of bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) in osteochondral repair. By integrating methacrylamide‐modified BSP and nitrobenzaldehyde‐functionalized hyaluronic acid, the system achieves immunomodulation, mechanical reinforcement, and dynamic tissue adhesion, thereby ...

A double blind randomized controlled trial comparing primary suture closure with mesh augmented closure to reduce incisional hernia incidence [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Incisional hernia is the most frequently seen long term complication after laparotomy causing much morbidity and even mortality. The overall incidence remains 11-20%, despite studies attempting to optimize closing techniques.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Here, a biointerface membrane engineered with site‐specific interfacial properties is developed. During implantation between gingival and bone defect, the membrane creates a pro‐osteogenic microenvironment, precisely modulates cellular activities at each biointerface, and facilitates the orchestration of complex healing events, ultimately leading to ...

Rate of Suture Material Absorption Does Not Impact Short Term Outcome of Tubularized Incised Plate Repair of Distal Penile Hypospadias in Children: A Randomized Controlled Study [PDF]
Pediatric Sciences JournalBackground: There is an agreement on the use of absorbable sutures for urethroplasty of distal penile hypospadias (DPH) repair in children. Early absorbable sutures may cause less tissue reaction, less stricture formation but increase the risk of fistula

Mechanically Stable and Tunable Photoactivated Peptide‐Based Hydrogels for Soft Tissue Adhesion
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A collagen‐like peptide hydrogel platform is developed using supramolecular self‐assembly and light‐triggered crosslinking. It creates mechanically stable, tunable hydrogels with cytocompatibility and biodegradability, making them potential soft tissue adhesives.
