The purpose of the present study was to compare the properties required for the clinical application of soft lining materials containing a fluorinated monomer versus that of conventional materials in an effort to develop a new soft lining material with long-term stable viscoelastic properties. Four soft lining materials were examined. Two experimental materials containing dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (SR12F) or tridecafluorooctyl methacrylate (SR13F) were prepared. Two commercial soft lining materials, one acrylic-based and one silicone rubber-based, were selected as reference materials. Shore A hardness, viscoelastic properties, water sorption, solubility, and staining resistance were evaluated. The Shore A hardness and the displacements were analyzed with two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's HSD test. The water sorption, the solubility and the color change were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test. The significance level was set at 0.05. SR12F and SR13F showed greater viscous flow, low water sorption, low solubility, and good staining resistance compared to the commercial products. The results indicate that the soft lining materials containing fluorinated monomers might have a potentially long-term stable viscoelastic behavior.

An analytical solution for internal forces of shallow circular low-to-vacuum tunnel linings in soft soils.

This paper presents an analytical solution derived with force method for the internal forces in the ring lining of maglev train tunnels, which are typically in a circular section and shallowly buried with low vacuum air pressure in the lining. The model incorporates the vacuum pressure induced by the differences in air pressures outside and inside the lining, and the vacuum pressure is assumed to be the active load exerting to the outside of the lining. The model assumes the vertical overburden acting on the lining is proportional to the soil depth at every particular point along the tunnel lining circumference.

Extraneural perineuriomas are rare, benign soft tissue tumors arising from perineurial cells, which form the protective lining of peripheral nerves. These tumors are infrequently encountered in the foot, posing diagnostic challenges due to their rarity and non-specific clinical presentation. Here, we describe the case of a 45-year-old woman, who had a swelling over the right foot dorsum for four years for which an excision biopsy was done.

Article Synopsis
- Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that primarily affect the skin and soft tissues, with anastomosing hemangioma (AH) being a specific subtype that mimics more serious conditions like angiosarcoma; there are fewer than 300 reported cases of renal hemangiomas.
- A case study of a 28-year-old male revealed a left renal mass identified during tests for abdominal pain, with subsequent imaging and surgery confirming the diagnosis of AH through histopathological analysis and specific immunohistochemical markers.
- Accurate diagnosis of AH is crucial to avoid unnecessary treatment and complications, highlighting the need for greater awareness and reporting in the medical community to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient management.
Article Synopsis
- * This study compares the effectiveness of conventional maxillofacial obturators versus those lined with a soft-liner, examining their impact on masticatory performance, speech, and quality of life in patients.
- * Results show that the relined obturator significantly improves masticatory performance (3.22 vs. 2.74) and speech quality (lower jitter), highlighting the benefits of using a soft-liner in prosthetic rehabilitation.

The emergence of antibacterial resistance impacts healthcare networks globally, with mortality rates and linked burdens of infection disproportionately affecting the developing world. Rapid alternatives to antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) allow for swifter, more effective treatment, though they are limited in use in low-resource settings due to significant cost barriers. Herein we demonstrate a simple, cost-effective diffraction sensing-based approach for rapidly detecting bacterial growth (a precursor to AST).
