This paper describes the development of a unique fluorescence based DNA diagnostic assay that does not require labeling of the target sequence prior to analysis. The assay uses polyacrylamide hydrogel plugs immobilized in microfluidic channels, and is based on the displacement of a short sacrificial fluorescent-tagged indicator oligomer by a longer untagged target sequence as it is electrophore...

Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG) is a medical soft tissue filling agent utilized for the treatment of a variety of soft tissue defects. However, postoperative complications occur that have to be alleviated. The aim of the present study was to examine the treatments of postoperative complications of mammoplasty augmentation with PAHG. Open suction techniques and partial mastectomies via periareola...

Abstract Rheology is a science that studies the flow and deformation of materials relationships between various factors cause them to deform. Finding relationship stress strain, or rate both, during fluid core issue rheology research. In this study, composite hydrogel with good conductivity based on polyacrylamide (PAM) lithium chloride (LiCl) was introduced. This PAM-LiCl conductive also highl...

We successfully synthesized a family of alginate/polyacrylamide hydrogels using various multivalent cations. These hydrogels exhibit exceptional mechanical properties. In particular, we discovered that the hydrogels cross-linked by trivalent cations are much stronger than those cross-linked by divalent cations. We demonstrate stretchability and toughness of the hydrogels by inflating a hydrogel...

Hydrogel implants became alternative fillers for breast implants after silicone implants were restricted in 1992 due to various local complications (1). Hydrogel implants contain hydrogel fillers, which are organic polymers of polysaccharide and water, such as hyaluronic acid fluid, hydroxypropyl cellulose (polysaccharide), and polyacrylamide (2). Initially, this implant was highly favored due ...

Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) was initially considered to be a compatible, non-toxic, non-biodegradable material. However, recent studies have shown that numerous adverse events occur after using this permanent filler. The incidence of complications following PAAG injection has been reported to be about 6.7%.Herein, we report a 32-year-old female who developed an infla...
