In this study, sustainable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and pullulan (PUL)/PHBV filaments were prepared with ketoprofen for scaffold preparation. The research aimed evaluate the influence of pullulan in the filament properties, such as thermal, morphological, and biological behavior. Hansen parameters demonstrated the difference in the miscibility of the polymers and drug in the blend.

- The study evaluated the effectiveness of transforaminal full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy (FELD) in treating lateral lumbar disc herniation in 58 adult patients over 12 months post-surgery.
- Significant improvements in pain and disability scores were observed, with a high patient satisfaction rate of 91% and a low reoperation rate of 6.9%.
- Key factors such as the duration of symptoms and preoperative radicular pain levels were identified as predictors of better outcomes, highlighting the technique as safe and effective but indicating a need for further research.
Article Synopsis
- MOMO syndrome is a rare overgrowth disorder with uncertain causes and varied symptoms, including developmental delays and facial dysmorphism.
- In a case study, a patient exhibited severe developmental issues and atypical symptoms like megaesophagus and severe acne, alongside the typical signs of MOMO syndrome.
- Researchers suggest that the overlap of symptoms between MOMO syndrome, Primrose syndrome, and specific genetic deletions indicates that MOMO could be considered part of a broader microdeletion syndrome spectrum.
