A preliminary study of the effect of closed incision management with negative pressure wound therapy over high-risk incisions [PDF]
Background Certain postoperative wounds are recognised to be associated with more complications than others and may be termed high-risk. Wound healing can be particularly challenging following high-energy trauma where wound necrosis and infection ...

Pneumopericardium after thoracic stab wound [PDF]
A 26-year-old man with a right-sided thoracic knife stab wound was referred to our institution because of suspected concomitant heart injury. The right-sided partial pneumothorax with very small haematothorax had been treated at the primary hospital by a chest tube insertion.

Fully 3D‐Printed Wave‐Wound Electromagnetic Motors
This work presents the first fully 3D‐printed wave‐wound electromagnetic motors, which are created using conductive nanoparticle inks, carbon‐filled nylon polymers, and surface mount components. These motors can achieve a stall torque of 7.62N·mmA−1$7.62 \nobreakspace N{\cdot }mm A^{-1}$ and efficiency of 28.2 %, which approaches the performance of ...
