Does Duty Cycle Modification Affect Temperature During Thulium Fiber Laser Lithotripsy?

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Although the thulium fiber laser (TFL, 1940 nm) efficiently fragments stones, concerns have been raised regarding heat production. Recently, a TFL with a modified duty cycle (MDC) was designed to reduce heat generation. The purpose of this study was to compare heat generation between the MDC and conventional TFL.

A Triple‐Layered Composite Scaffold of Silk Fibroin and Decellularized Amniotic Membrane for Bladder Tissue Engineering

Macromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
This study develops a triple‐layered scaffold for bladder regeneration using a SF/PEO film, decellularized human amniotic membrane, and a SF sponge seeded with ADSCs encapsulated in collagen hydrogel. The scaffold demonstrates excellent biocompatibility, mechanical properties resembling bladder tissue, and resistance to urinary stone formation, making ...
