Surgery for scar revision and reduction: from primary closure to flap surgery
Burns & Trauma, 2019 Scars are the final result of the four processes that constitute cutaneous wound healing, namely, coagulation, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Permanent scars are produced if the wounds reach the reticular dermis.

A Comparison between Frame-based and Event-based Cameras for Flapping-Wing Robot Perception [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Perception systems for ornithopters face severe challenges. The harsh vibrations and abrupt movements caused during flapping are prone to produce motion blur and strong lighting condition changes. Their strict restrictions in weight, size, and energy consumption also limit the type and number of sensors to mount onboard. Lightweight traditional cameras

Gracilis myocutaneous flap for perineal defect reconstruction after left hemivulvectomy for locally invasive vulvar cancer – A case report and a literature review [PDF]
, 2019 Performing radical surgery for locally advanced vulvar cancer is usually associated with the occurrence of large perineal defects. In order to provide a better healing process of the perineal wound, different reconstructive techniques have been proposed.

Stability of Underwater Periodic Locomotion [PDF]
, 2013 Most aquatic vertebrates swim by lateral flapping of their bodies and caudal fins. While much effort has been devoted to understanding the flapping kinematics and its influence on the swimming efficiency, little is known about the stability (or lack of) of periodic swimming. It is believed that stability limits maneuverability and body designs/flapping

Manta Ray Inspired Flapping-Wing Blimp [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Lighter-than-air vehicles or blimps, are an evolving platform in robotics with several beneficial properties such as energy efficiency, collision resistance, and ability to work in close proximity to human users. While existing blimp designs have mainly used propeller-based propulsion, we focus our attention to an alternate locomotion method, flapping ...
