Laparoscopic Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh Plus (IPOM Plus) With Mobilizing the Urinary Bladder for Suprapubic Incisional Hernia Repair: A Case Report.

Ventral hernias represent a prevalent surgical complication in contemporary medical practice, with incisional hernias being a common long-term outcome following abdominal surgery. There are many risk factors for abdominal incisional hernias, including surgical history, malnutrition, obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, abdominal closure technique, and surgical site infection. Laparoscopic repair of incisional hernias is the optimal surgical approach, as it is associated with reduced hospital stays, fewer perioperative complications, and lower recurrence rates.

Fluorescent gold nanoclusters possess multiple actions against atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis caused major morbidity and mortality worldwide. Molecules possessing lipid-lowering and/or anti-inflammatory properties are potential druggable targets against atherosclerosis. We examined the anti-atherosclerotic effects of fluorescent gold nanoclusters (FANC), which were dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA)-capped 2-nm gold nanoparticles.

Minimally Invasive Enucleation of Esophageal Leiomyoma: Experience From a Single Institution.

Introduction: Esophageal leiomyoma is a rare disease, most of which are benign, and endoscopic tumor removal surgery is a widely accepted treatment method. The two surgical approaches, laparoscopic and thoracoscopic, must be selected and applied according to the tumor size and location. The study aimed to evaluate the results, feasibility, and appropriate approach of minimally invasive surgery to treat esophageal leiomyoma.

Exploring size-dependent optical property alterations in fine-tuning intermetallic PdCd nanocube sizes.

Tuning the size of intermetallic nanocrystals is challenging due to the conflicting effects of surface free energy and surface diffusion on the disorder-to-order phase transition during wet-chemistry growth. Herein, we synthesized intermetallic PdCd nanocubes with tunable sizes ranging from 8 to 15 nm by adjusting the Cd precursor concentrations using a wet-chemistry approach. This process shares a mechanism of size tuning similar to quantum dot synthesis, involving the regulation of monomer concentration determined by the precursor concentrations.
