Adipose tissue is crucial for medical applications such as tissue reconstruction, cosmetic procedures, and correcting soft tissue deformities. Significant advances in the use of adipose tissue have been achieved through Coleman's studies in fat grafting, which gained widespread acceptance due to its effectiveness and safety. Despite its benefits, adipose tissue grafting faces several limitations, including high absorption rates due to insufficient support or anchorage, replacement by fibrous tissue, migration from the intended site, and loss of the initial desired morphology post-administration.

Fields of application include investigations of hydrogen in metals as well as metal corrosion, thanks to the fact that neutrons can penetrate metals better than e.g.

Purpose: This biomechanical in vitro study aimed to examine the extent to which the use of a rod persuader (RP) leads to additional mechanical stress on the screw-rod system and determine its influence on the bony anchoring of primary pedicle screws.
Overview Of Literature: Degenerative spine diseases and deformities are the most common indications for the stabilization and fusion of spinal segments.
Diverse species, including many important plant pathogens, have been widely detected among surface water irrigation sources. In the past decade, metabarcoding has been used to characterize waterborne populations. Metabarcoding typically involves amplification of portions of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITSs) ITS1 or ITS2 from species, followed by indexed high-throughput sequencing.
