A comprehensive solution of a laser diode (LD) driver with temperature control using a programmable system on a chip is proposed as an alternative to dedicated devices. A digital proportional integral differential controller is used for regulating the LD temperature. The light-current characteristics and frequency response of the LD are measured using an external photodiode and interrogated by an integrated transimpedance amplifier.

This article aims to present a unique step by step protocol for a near total maxillectomy with a pterygoid bone resection and consecutive microvascular reconstruction with a harvested scapula tip flap. The protocol includes immediate placement of extra-short implants in donor bone with the aid of Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), and an in-house 3D printing of medical 3D models and surgical guides.

- - The study focused on detecting a specific parasite that affects bivalves, utilizing water samples from diverse environments and analyzing infected bivalve mantle samples to characterize the parasite's ribosomal unit.
- - Researchers developed a method for environmental DNA (eDNA) detection by conducting PCR tests on water samples, assessing the level of DNA degradation and its implications for the parasite's infectious capacity.
- - The new detection method proved effective in identifying the parasite in sea waters with varying levels of DNA fragmentation, offering a valuable tool for monitoring and understanding the parasite's lifecycle and spread.
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is often necessary to manufacture 3D-printed medical models (MMs) required for mandibular restoration due to trauma or malignant tumor. Although cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a preferable method of mandibular imaging, additional scanning is often unjustified. To test whether a single radiologic protocol could be used for mandibular reconstructions, the human mandible was scanned with 6 MDCT and 2 CBCT protocols and later 3D-printed using a fused-deposition modelling technique.

J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino)
December 2022
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical presentation and contemporary management of arterial thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) in high-volume referral center.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of patients with TOS of any etiology between January 1 1990 and 2021. Supra-, or combined supra-/infraclavicular approaches have been used for decompression/vascular reconstructions.
