Comprehensive Design and Experimental Protocol for Scalable and Temperature-Controllable Cryogenic Hydrogen Isotope Separation.

Hydrogen isotope separation is a complex task due to the nearly identical physical and thermodynamic properties of isotopes, such as deuterium and protium. Traditional methods, including cryogenic distillation, exhibit limitations such as low selectivity and high energy consumption. Recent advancements utilizing the quantum sieving effect in crystalline porous materials have shown promise under cryogenic conditions, but experimental approaches using larger, more practical sample sizes remain scarce.

Efficacy and safety of a novel partially absorbable mesh in totally extraperitoneal hernia repair.

Purpose: Partially absorbable mesh has been introduced and used for inguinal hernia repair for the purpose of minimizing pain and improving abdominal wall compliance. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy and safety of ProFlex mesh, a partially absorbed mesh with new structural architecture.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 64 cases of totally extraperitoneal herniorrhapy (TEP) from January 2013 to December 2014 for their clinical features, including operation time, pain, postoperative complications, and recurrence.

Clinical results of endoscopic sciatic nerve decompression for deep gluteal syndrome: mean 2-year follow-up.

Background: The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of endoscopic sciatic nerve decompression and evaluated the differences of clinical results between atraumatic and traumatic groups.

Methods: Sixty consecutive patients. We retrospectively reviewed sixty consecutive patients without major trauma (45 hips) or with major trauma (15 hips) groups to compare the outcomes of endoscopic treatment.
