Background: Relationships between industry and physicians are critical for innovation in the field of arthroplasty surgery. However, these relationships can present a conflict of interest (COI) for medical research and are required to be disclosed by most journals. The rate of accurate disclosures by physicians has not been studied in arthroplasty surgery.

- This study looked at how a long delay before active labor affects moms and their babies during childbirth.
- They found that moms with a prolonged latent phase (PLP) had more health problems after giving birth, especially if they started labor on their own or were induced.
- Babies born during spontaneous labor with PLP also had more health issues, showing that the length of this waiting time matters for the safety of both moms and babies.
The combination of lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) and low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs) for the formation of lyotropic liquid crystal gels (LLC gels) leads to a versatile and complex material combining properties of both parent systems. We gelled the calamitic nematic N phases of a binary and ternary system using the LMWG 3,5-bis-(5-hexylcarbamoyl-pentoxy)-benzoic acid hexyl ester (BHPB-6). This binary system consists of the surfactant ,-dimethyl--ethyl-1-hexadecylammonium bromide (CDEAB) and water, whereas the ternary system consists of the surfactant ,,-trimethyl--tetradecylammonium bromide (CTAB), the cosurfactant -decanol, and water.
