Introduction: Hand injuries, particularly those involving the fingers, are complex and often necessitate meticulous surgical interventions. Cross-finger flaps (CFFs) are a reliable technique for covering finger defects, with the choice of skin graft at the donor site playing a crucial role in the procedure's success. Split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) and full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) are commonly used, each offering distinct advantages and drawbacks.

What do we see behind an occluder? Amodal completion of statistical properties in complex objects.

When a spiky object is occluded, we expect its spiky features to continue behind the occluder. Although many real-world objects contain complex features, it is unclear how more complex features are amodally completed and whether this process is automatic. To investigate this issue, we created pairs of displays with identical contour edges up to the point of occlusion, but with occluded portions exchanged.

Role of Pregabalin in Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Pain Management of Lower Limb Orthopedic Surgeries.

Introduction: Post-operative pain after orthopedic surgery has remained a challenging problem, which prolongs hospital stay and early rehabilitation.

Disposable-micropipette tip supported electrified liquid-organogel interface as a platform for sensing acetylcholine.

Sensing acetylcholine has been predominantly based on enzymatic strategies using acetylcholine esterase and choline oxidase because of its electrochemical inertness. Electrified liquid-liquid interfaces are not limited to oxidation/reduction processes, and can be utilized to detect non-redox molecules which cannot be detected using conventional solid electrodes. In this study, a disposable micropipette tip based liquid-organogel interface, in the presence/absence of calixarene has been developed as a platform for sensing acetylcholine.

The Bouba-Kiki effect is predicted by sound properties but not speech properties.

Humans robustly associate spiky shapes to words like "Kiki" and round shapes to words like "Bouba." According to a popular explanation, this is because the mouth assumes an angular shape while speaking "Kiki" and a rounded shape for "Bouba." Alternatively, this effect could reflect more general associations between shape and sound that are not specific to mouth shape or articulatory properties of speech.
