Thiram Determination in Milk Samples by Surface Plasmon Resonance Based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and Sulphur-Doped Titanium Dioxide.

In this work, a new surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on sulphur-doped titanium dioxide (S-TiO) nanostructures and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was presented for thiram (THI) determination in milk samples. Firstly, the S-TiO nanomaterial with a high product yield was prepared by using a facile sol-gel hydrolysis technique with a high product yield. After that, UV polymerization was carried out for the preparation of the THI-imprinted SPR chip based on S-TiO using a mixture including ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker, N,N'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator, and methacryloylamidoglutamicacid (MAGA) as the monomer.

Surgical technique for primary perineal hernia repair: a systematic scoping review.

Purpose: A perineal hernia is a subtype of pelvic floor hernias, and especially primary perineal hernias are rare. No guideline exists on how to handle this type of hernia. Therefore, the primary aim of this scoping review was to investigate the surgical treatment options in adults for primary perineal hernias.

Varying convalescence recommendations for sport and heavy lifting after groin hernia repair: a nationwide survey among leading hernia surgeons.

Background: Recent international hernia guidelines state that work and leisure activities after inguinal hernia repair can be resumed after a convalescence of three to five days for most patients. There is no specific recommendation for convalescence duration before resuming sport and heavy lifting. This nationwide survey aimed to assess leading hernia surgeons' recommendations for convalescence after groin hernia repair and to explore their general opinions regarding convalescence.

Varying convalescence recommendations after inguinal hernia repair: a systematic scoping review.

Purpose: The most recent international guideline on inguinal hernia management recommends a short convalescence after repair. However, surgeons' recommendations may vary. The objective of this study was to give an overview of the current convalescence recommendations in the literature subdivided on the Lichtenstein and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs.
