Bacterial biofilms that grow in porous media are critical to ecosystem processes and applications ranging from soil bioremediation to bioreactors for treating wastewater or producing value-added products. However, understanding and engineering the complex phenomena that drive the development of biofilms in such systems remains a challenge. Here we present a novel micromodel technology to explore bacterial biofilm development in porous media flows.

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of uncertain differentiation, characterized morphologically by abundant myxoid stroma, a multinodular growth pattern, and uniform cells arranged in strands, clusters, and reticular networks. It usually occurs in adults in the fifth decade, most often in the deep soft tissues of the proximal extremities. The molecular hallmark of this tumor, present in over 90% of cases, is the fusion of NR4A3 with EWSR1 at 22q12.

Nd:YAG capsulotomy is currently performed after extracapsular cataract surgery and seems to increase the risk of postoperative retinal detachment. In order to evaluate the incidence of this complication in our experience, we retrospectively studied 144 patients who underwent Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy with at least a six-month follow-up. Six patients out of 144 (4.
