Developing superior bioinks present several challenges in achieving ideal properties such as biocompatibility, viscosity, degradation rates & mechanical properties which are required to make functional tissue constructs. Various attempts have been made to prepare excellent bioink compositions that are suitable to address the above challenges. Herein, a versatile combination of gelatin (GL) - gellan gum (GG) bioink was successfully formulated & the bioink 7.

A battery-operated biomedical wearable device gradually assists in clinical tasks to monitor patients' health states regarding early diagnosis and detection. This paper presents the development of a self-powered portable electronic module by integrating an onboard energy-harvesting facility for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing and personalized health monitoring. The developed electronic module provides a customizable approach to power the device using a lithium-ion battery, a series of silicon photodiode arrays, and a solar panel.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine how reducing occlusal surfaces affects postendodontic pain in patients with specific dental issues.
  • Sixty patients with acute pulpitis and apical periodontitis were randomly assigned to either reduce their occlusal surfaces or keep them unchanged, with pain levels measured over time using a visual analog scale.
  • Although pain levels decreased for both groups after treatment, there was no significant difference in pain levels between those who had surface reduction and those who did not.
