Methods: Our case report presents a unique instance of recurrent complete labial fusion causing bladder outlet obstruction in a postmenopausal woman.
Results: The 84-year-old patient presented with dysuria and intermittent urine leakage.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the high-temperature deformation behavior of UNS S32750 Super Duplex Stainless Steel (SDSS) at temperatures between 1050 to 1200 °C, using an up-setting method with varying impact energy to assess deformability.
- - Key findings indicate that higher deformation temperatures and increased impact energy result in a greater degree of deformation, while deformation resistance and mechanical work tend to decrease with increasing temperatures.
- - Microstructural analysis reveals that all samples exhibit intensely deformed grains, with grain elongation primarily occurring in the rolling direction, and a notable increase in grain deformation intensity as deformation temperature rises.
Replicating the intricate architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is an actual challenge in the field of bone tissue engineering. In the present research study, calcium alginate/cellulose nanofibrils-based 3D printed scaffolds, double-reinforced with chitosan/polyethylene oxide electrospun nanofibers (NFs) and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared using the 3D printing technique. The porous matrix was provided by the calcium alginate, while the anisotropy degree and mechanical properties were ensured by the addition of fillers with different sizes and shapes (CNFs, NFs, GO), similar to the components naturally found in bone ECM.

Inhaled nanoparticle (NP) therapy poses intricate challenges in clinical and pharmacodynamic realms. Recent strides have revolutionized NP technology by enabling the incorporation of diverse molecules, thus circumventing systemic clearance mechanisms and enhancing drug effectiveness while mitigating systemic side effects. Despite the established success of systemic NP delivery in oncology and other disciplines, the exploration of inhaled NP therapies remains relatively nascent.
