Polymer International, EarlyView.An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Development of a polymer endovascular prosthesis and its implantation in porcine arteries [PDF]
, 1992 A polyethylene-terephthalate braided mesh stent has been developed for application in the (coronary) arterial tree. In vitro measurements showed that the radial pressure delivered by this device was in the same range as that of a stainless steel stent ...

Biomarkers to predict outcomes in diabetic foot ulcers
VIEW, EarlyView.Studies attempting to predict the healing outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have investigated various biological materials and recovered molecules that may aid in discriminating wounds that will heal and those that will not heal. This graphical abstract captures the commonly studied classes of biomarkers in the context of DFUs.

Guidelines for Essential Trauma Care: Second Edition (2026)
World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.Injury is a major cause of death and disability globally, with the highest burden in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Strengthening the organization and planning for trauma care (care of the injured) can improve care and lower mortality. In 2004, the International Association for Trauma Surgery and Intensive Care (IATSIC) and the World Health ...

Complex biomechanical study of chitosan microtubes
Russian Open Medical Journal, 2019 Mechanical parameters of a biotransplant made of the aminopolysaccharide chitosan were estimated in an in vitro experiment. Using the values obtained, finite element simulation of the "arterial vessel-microtube" system was carried out. As a result of our

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.We report an insight from the PELS‐1– a multicentre, international registry focusing on postocardiotomy extracorporeal support use between 2000 and 2020. We focused on 24/2163 (1.1%) patients requiring V‐V ECMO after cardiac surgery. Mortality was high, with 21.7% of patients discharged alive and an overall 1‐year survival probability of 12.5 ...
