Donor-Site Morbidity Analysis of Thenar and Hypothenar Flap
Background For the small glabrous skin defect, Thenar and Hypothenar skin are useful donors and they have been used as a free flap. Because of similar skin characteristics, both flaps have same indications.

The Pedicled LICAP Flap Combined with a Free Abdominal Flap In Autologous Breast Reconstructions
Background:. Previous surgery or slim body configuration can limit the size of the available abdominal flap in autologous breast reconstruction. However, redundant skin and subcutaneous tissue lateral to the mastectomy site can be utilized as the ...

Deep Learning Methods in Soft Robotics: Architectures and Applications
Soft robotics has seen intense research over the past two decades and offers a promising approach for future robotic applications. However, standard industrial methods may be challenging to apply to soft robots. Recent advances in deep learning provide powerful tools to analyze and design complex soft machines that can operate in unstructured ...

Wind-tunnel free-flight investigation of a 0.15-scale model of the F-106B airplane with vortex flaps [PDF]
An investigation to determine the effects of vortex flaps on the flight dynamic characteristics of the F-106B in the area of low-speed, high-angle-of-attack flight was undertaken on a 0.15-scale model of the airplane in the Langley 30- by 60-Foot Tunnel.

Irradiated superficial femoral artery rupture after free flap: a case report and review of the literature. [PDF]
Radical oncologic resection can result in large soft tissue defects with exposure of underlying vessels. Unless immediately covered with viable soft tissue, these vessels are vulnerable to desiccation from air exposure and mechanical trauma.

A passive, tunable perching mechanism enables aerial robots to reliably perch onto smooth surfaces. The design integrates a bistable mechanism with a soft suction cup and SMA actuators for active tuning. Experiments demonstrate robust performance by adapting to varying contact speeds and surface orientation misalignments, enabling diverse perching ...
