Aortic arch repair after Norwood procedure in children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome
In this article we analyze the impact of aortic arch repair on the development of aortic obstruction when using a Norwood procedure. Patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 included patients who underwent neoaortic plasty performed by using bovine

Effects of repeated exposure to ozonated water on hair fibre structure and integrity: Part I
Repeated exposure to ozonated water caused cumulative oxidative changes in hair, altering structural integrity, thermal behaviour and mechanical properties. The findings reveal a distinct ozone‐induced damage profile that progresses beyond the cuticle, challenging claims of hair‐revitalizing benefits. Abstract Objective Ozone has recently been marketed
