Research Objective: To raise safety of conduction anesthesia of a humeral plexus by depression of cases of intraneural introduction of anesthetic on the basis of application of ultrasonic scanning during performance of blockade.
Materials And Methods: 137 blockade of a humeral plexus by axillary access are executed. Depending on a method of identification of nerves patients have been distributed on two groups: 1) identification of nerves by means of ultrasonic scanning (n=68); 2) a combination and ultrasonic scanning for identification of nerves (n=69).
Results: At a finding of a section of a needle in immediate proximity from a nerve (according to ultrasonic scanning) peripheral motor reaction was absent in 63,8% of cases. Intraneural introduction of a solution of local anesthetic was observed more often (p<0,05) at identification (69,6%), than at ultrasonic identification of nerves (17,6%).
The Conclusion: Diffusion of local anesthetic observed by means of ultrasonic scanning confirms an exact site of an end of a needle that allows to avoid its intraneural introduction.

Background: Treatment of deep carious lesions poses significant challenges in dentistry, as complete lesion removal risks compromising pulp vitality, while selective removal often reduces the longevity of restorations. Herein, we propose a minimally invasive approach using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for microscale removal of carious dentine. Concurrently, HIFU's antimicrobial effects against associated cariogenic biofilms and the corresponding thermal and biological impacts on surrounding tissues were investigated.

Mulberry silk (Bombyx mori) and eri silk (Samia/Philosamia ricini) are widely used silks. Eri silk is a wild silk that contains an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid tripeptide sequence within its structure, making it a potential and sustainable biomaterial. However, its poor solubility using conventional methods has resulted in limited research compared with that of mulberry silk fibroin.

Background: Intracanal medicament (ICM) eliminates remaining bacteria and their toxins that were not removed by chemomechanical preparation during endodontic treatment.
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the removal of ozonated oil-based, silicone oil-based, and distilled water-based ICM with two calcium chelators, i.e.

Biofilm formation by is a major cause of secondary food contamination, leading to significant economic losses. While rhamnolipids (RLs) have shown effectiveness against , their ability to remove biofilms is limited when used alone. Ultrasound (US) is a non-thermal sterilization technique that has been found to enhance the delivery of antimicrobial agents, but it is not highly effective on its own.

The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is a crucial power semiconductor device, and the integrity of its internal structure directly influences both its electrical performance and long-term reliability. However, the precise semantic segmentation of IGBT ultrasonic tomographic images poses several challenges, primarily due to high-density noise interference and visual distortion caused by target warping. To address these challenges, this paper constructs a dedicated IGBT ultrasonic tomography (IUT) dataset using Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) and proposes a lightweight Multi-Scale Fusion Network (LMFNet) aimed at improving segmentation accuracy and processing efficiency in ultrasonic images analysis.
