Article Synopsis
  • - Magnesium (Mg) is gaining interest as a biodegradable material for medical implants due to its good biocompatibility but faces challenges like rapid degradation and low corrosion resistance, which titanium (Ti) can help overcome when alloyed with Mg.
  • - The Mg-Ti alloys are created using techniques like mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering (SPS), leading to improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, especially in the Mg80-Ti20 alloy tested in simulated body fluids.
  • - These alloys show non-toxicity when tested on pre-osteoblastic cells and can be combined with polymers like PLGA to enhance their biomedical applications, making them suitable for temporary orthopedic implants that support healing without needing removal surgery.

Heyde syndrome, marked by aortic stenosis, gastrointestinal bleeding from angiodysplasia, and acquired von Willebrand syndrome, is often underreported. Shear stress from a narrowed aortic valve degrades von Willebrand factor multimers, leading to angiodysplasia formation and von Willebrand factor deficiency. This case report aims to raise clinician awareness of Heyde syndrome, its complexity, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach.

The presented study investigates the effects of weight percentages of boron carbide reinforcement on the wear properties of aluminum alloy composites. Composites were fabricated via ball milling and the hot extrusion process. During the fabrication of composites, BC content was varied (0, 5, and 10 wt.

The history of effective anti-cancer medications begins with the discovery of cisplatin's anti-cancer properties. Second-generation analogue, carboplatin, with a similar range of effectiveness, made progress in improving these drugs with fewer side effects and better solubility. Renewed interest in platinum-based drugs has been increasing in the past several years.

This detailed review focuses on retroperitoneal undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), a particularly aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma that poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity and complex presentation. By documenting a new case of retroperitoneal UPS and conducting a comprehensive review of all known cases, this article aims to expand the existing body of knowledge on the epidemiology, molecular pathogenesis, and treatment strategies associated with this rare disease. The complexity of diagnosing UPS is emphasized given that it rarely occurs in the retroperitoneal space and its histological and molecular complexity often complicates its recognition.
