ABSTRACT Due to the high corrosion rate and limited biocompatibility of commonly used magnesium (Mg) and its alloys, current studies have focused on surface modification techniques. In this study, which is aimed at overcoming these obstacles in biomedical applications, hybrid coatings of PLA‐HA‐Walnut shell (Wshell) were successfully applied to Mg ...

Nonocclusive coronary dissections: to stent or not to stent?
Cappelletti et al. [(1)][1] reviewed the outcome of 129 consecutive patients treated with conventional angioplasty (PTCA) at a time when coronary stents were not available. Patients (45; 35%) presenting nonocclusive dissections post-PTCA had a significantly lower restenosis rate than ...

Predicting Abrasion Resistance in Thermoplastic Polyurethanes Using Machine Learning
Data‐driven prediction of TPU abrasion resistance using Gradient Boosting Regression (GBR), demonstrating superior performance through an ensemble of decision trees. ABSTRACT Abrasion resistance is a critical property of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), especially for applications in automotive, footwear, and medical devices where durability under ...

Laser augmented by brachytherapy versus laser alone in the palliation of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and cardia: a randomised study [PDF]
Background: Many patients with advanced malignant dysphagia are not suitable for definitive treatment. The best option for palliation of dysphagia varies between patients. This paper looks at a simple technique for enhancing laser recanalisation.

Lightweight prosthetic sockets constructed using auxetic meta‐structures can help reduce physical discomfort when compared to a similar lightweight socket featuring a nonauxetic meta‐structure. The chiral auxetic meta‐structured sockets demonstrated better contact pressure profiles at the interface between the socket and the residual limb.

Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.
