Blister test to measure the out-of-plane shear modulus of few-layer graphene.

We measure the out-of-plane shear modulus of few-layer graphene (FLG) by a blister test. During the test, we employed a monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS) membrane stacked onto FLG wells to facilitate the separation of FLG from the silicon oxide (SiO) substrate. Using the deflection profile of the blister, we determine an average shear modulus of 0.

Outcomes and Craniometric Analyses of the Champy Technique in the Treatment of Mandibular Angle Fractures: A Retrospective Study.

The aim of this study is to examine the outcomes of superiorly placed monocortical single miniplate fixation in the treatment of mandibular angle fractures and evaluate treatment efficacy through craniometric measurements. Postoperative craniometrics were compared with both the preoperative measurements and the control group. Thirty-four patients were included with a mean follow-up of 3.

Long-term results of fronto-orbital advancement and remodeling using distraction osteogenesis in craniosynostosis patients.

In the initial report describing the fronto-orbital distraction technique, bone segments were advanced preserving their attachments with the dura. This approach does not allow for the remodeling of the frontal segment. However, in the technique described herein, the fronto-orbital segment is separated from dura, remodeled, and advanced as a bone graft using distractors.

Regional variations in psoriatic arthritis: Insights from a nationwide multicenter analysis in Türkiye.

Objectives: The study aimed to investigate and compare clinical features, disease activity, and the overall disease burden among psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients across seven distinct geographic regions in Türkiye.

Patients And Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study involving 1,134 PsA patients from 25 referral centers across seven regions was conducted. Demographic and clinical characteristics, comorbidities, joint involvement, extra-articular manifestations, and disease activity measures were evaluated across regions.

Effects of Photobiomodulation Application on Glutathione-Related Antioxidant Defense System in Rabbit Eye Tissues.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) has emerged as a potentially effective therapeutic approach to modulate cellular functions. This study aimed to examine the impact of PBM on reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, and glutathione-related antioxidant defense systems in rabbit eye tissues. A polychromatic light source with an intensity of 2.
