–In this research manufacturing of the Kevlar-Mg AZ31B sandwich composite is done. Sandwich prepared using Kevlar fiber and Mg alloy. This manufactured by Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Moulding (VARTM) method. method uses vacuum pressure difference causes bonding fiber- metal surface epoxy resin. In alloy act as core material a face skin. fiber-metal will have enhanced mechanical properties th...

Introduction The fibula osteocutaneous flap is now commonly used to reconstruct composite mandibular defects. Difficulties in flap execution are invariably related to the dynamic relationship of the bone orientation and the skin paddle inset. Traditional design has been limited to a single-strut bony design in order to restore mandibular continuity, without restoration of mandibular height and ...

it is difficult to reconstruct an alar defect with cartilage involvement. here in the authors report a case of traumatic alar loss during childhood in which an alar reconstruction was carried out with a composite auricular graft put over the pedicle buccal flap which was rotated and passed through the intraoral side. the lining skin and auricular cartilage for the flap was obtained from the aur...

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) historically has been assessed according to disease activity measures borrowed from rheumatoid arthritis. However, more disease activity measures specific to PsA have been developed. This development is appropriate, as the disease is not confined to the joints but has multiple manifestations, in addition to skin and joints. Assessments of disease activity are unique to...

Chitosan is a cheap resource, which is widely used in biomedical applications due to its biocompatible and antibacterial properties. In this study, composite nanofibrous membranes of chitosan (CS) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) loaded with antibiotics at different ratios were successfully fabricated by electrospinning. The composite nanofibers were subjected to further analysis by scanning elect...

In this work, we report the successful fabrication of CO2-philic polymer composite membranes using a polyacrylonitrile-r-poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PAN-r-PEGMA) copolymer. The series of PAN-r-PEGMA copolymers with various amounts of PEG content was synthesized by free radical polymerization in presence of AIBN initiator and the obtained copolymers were used for the fabrica...

in a study of 310 patients with suspected dermatophytic lesions, 110 cases of dermatophytosis, were diagnosed by direct smear in 10% koh and culture by two methods, skin stripping with use of adhesive tape and scrapping with scalpel blade conventional technique). out of 65 positive cultures, in 33 cases, growth was obtained by methods (scraping and stripping), 23 by the conventional technique a...

OBJECTIVE To report our experience with the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMF) for the reconstruction of composite lateral temporal bone defects extending beyond the temporal line. DESIGN Retrospective review and illustration of specific technical modifications. SETTING Academic tertiary care center. PATIENTS Eight patients with composite lateral skull base defects that were reconst...

Wearable dry electrodes are required for long-term biopotential recordings, but their availability is limited. The diagnosis of coronary heart disease possible with ambulatory electrocardiography (ECG). For ECG sensing, on-skin used by conformably contacting the skin’s moving and arbitrary formed surface. However, low skin-adhesion restricts use in sensing an extended period time. Here, it was ...

This study presents a flexible wireless electronic skin (e-skin) sensor system that includes a multi-functional sensor device, a triple-mode reconfigurable readout integrated circuit (ROIC), and a mobile monitoring interface. The e-skin device's multi-functionality is achieved by an interlocked micro-dome array structure that uses a polyvinylidene fluoride and reduced graphene oxide (PVDF/RGO) ...
