The increased speed of personal computers enables fast computation of rotationally symmetric electrostatic lenses with the first-order finite element method in meshes with a large number of mesh points. In order to produce an estimate of accuracy of the computed potential, we propose a simple procedure based on doubling the number of mesh points in each coordinate. In this way, we can produce for the lower-density mesh at each point the information about error of the potential and visualize the sources of the computation errors.

Adipose tissue engineering requires effective strategies for regenerating adipose tissue, with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) being favored due to their robust self-renewal capacity and multipotent differentiation potential. In this study, the efficacy of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) mesh containing collagen sponge (CS), seeded with ASCs to promote adipose tissue formation, was investigated. PLLA-CS implants seeded with GFP-positive ASCs were inserted at high concentration (1 × 10 cells/implant, H-ASC) and low concentration (1 × 10 cells/implant, L-ASC), as were unseeded controls.

The percentage of practicing female plastic surgeons in the United States is notably low. This narrative review sought to identify prominent barriers affecting women's entry and success in plastic surgery. A literature search was conducted using the National Library of Medicine from 2013 to 2023, using MeSH terms of gender disparity and plastic surgery.

Beta-thalassemia major (β-TM) is a genetic disorder, prevalent especially in the Mediterranean region, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. With improvements in management over the years, β-TM has transitioned from a fatal childhood disease to a chronic condition. However, in Pakistan, there is still a lack of a comprehensive national policy and strategic plan, which has resulted in a growing number of β-TM patients, placing a substantial burden on individuals and the national healthcare system.

This article presents the results of experimental studies on the influence of the geometry of high-voltage plasma actuator electrodes on the change in flow in the boundary layer and their influence on the change in the lift coefficient. The plasma actuator used in the described experimental studies has a completely different structure. The experimental model of the plasma actuator uses a large mesh ground electrode and different geometries of the high-voltage electrodes, namely copper solid electrodes and mesh electrodes (the use of mesh electrodes, large GND and HV is a new solution).
