This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of combined negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and human amniotic membrane in patients with chronic wounds associated with diabetes. A total of five patients with type 2 diabetes, including ischemic and mixed forms of diabetic foot syndrome, presenting with ischemic wounds of the lower extremities were included in this study. Patients with uncorrected limb ischemia were excluded.

This study investigates the response of bone marrow (particularly megakaryocytes) in mice under the influence of diclofenac sodium for 10 days using intraperitoneal injection at various doses. A fundamentally new immunomagnetic separation method was applied during the experiment, which helped obtain pure lines of bone marrow cells, particularly megakaryocytes (MC), without admixtures of other cells or their particles. The resulting cells completely retain their structure and can be used in further research.

Large numbers of cascaded active photonic devices are difficult to implement when accounting for constraints on area, power dissipation, and response time. Plasma dispersion and the thermo-optic effect, both available in CMOS-compatible silicon processes, address a subset of these criteria.

This study aims to determine a laboratory marker of the risk of small intestine anastomotic leak. The study was based on 96 patients who were subjected to resections of segments of the small intestine with the formation of intestinal anastomoses at the State Institution "Zaytsev V.

At the transition from hyperbolic to elliptical dispersion (corresponding to a topological transition), various intriguing phenomena are found, such as an enhancement of the photonic density of states, polariton canalization and hyperlensing. Here, we investigate theoretically and experimentally the topological transition, the polaritonic coupling and the strong nonlocal response in a uniaxial infrared-phononic metasurface, a grating of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoribbons.
