The magneto-optical properties of Ni nanowire arrays embedded in anodic aluminum oxide templates are studied, for a selection of photon energies, as a function of their diameter and length for the first time. This was achieved by the determination of Stokes parameters of the transmitted light. The magneto-optical response is found to differ considerably from that of the bulk material. At all photon energies studied, a linear association of the Faraday rotation angle with nanowire length has been observed; moreover, a proportional relationship between rotation angle per unit length and nanowire diameter has also been also observed, consistent with our earlier work on Fe and Co nanowires. The relationship between the Faraday rotation angle per unit length with different nanowire diameters and photon energy has been found to exhibit clear spectroscopic structure.

Before patients begin out-of-bed exercises following internal fixation surgery for acetabular fractures, turning over in bed serves as a crucial intervention to mitigate complications associated with prolonged bed rest. However, data on the safety of this maneuver post-surgery are limited, and the biomechanical evidence remains unclear. This study aims to introduce a novel loading protocol designed to preliminarily simulate the action of turning over in bed and to compare the biomechanical properties of two fixation methods for acetabular fractures under this new protocol.

Liquid water still remains an ubiquitous liquid whose molecular organization requires careful investigation. In this work, we present a study of the second harmonic scattering (SHS) intensity for two different scattering angles, namely, the forward and the right angle geometries. This method performed at optical wavelengths is indeed selective toward long correlation lengths.

Hydrogels are popular materials for desalination and can significantly reduce the vaporization enthalpy of water; however, there are few reports on hydrogels with a controllable multilevel structural design for water evaporation. Herein, a calcium alginate and traditional Chinese ink-based evaporator (CIE) are proposed and fabricated using directed freezing technology to construct radial channels, followed by freeze-drying and physical cross-linking. Because of the squeezing of ice crystals and the shaping effect of the PDMS template, the prepared evaporator exhibits a sea-urchin-shaped highly geometrical centrosymmetric structure with numerous multilevel pore channels, which promotes the rapid transport of water under different solar incidence angles as the sun rotates as well as overcomes the structural shrinkage of the hydrogel caused by insufficient water supply.

The design and implementation of successful rotational flaps of the scalp remains a complex process. There are several described techniques, all of which are based on a two-dimension surface, absent consideration of the convexity, and thereby three-dimensional nature of the scalp. This has contributed to flaps that are either too small or unnecessarily large in a bid to compensate.

Primary-lobe-based trilobed and quadrilobed flaps for reconstruction of nasal tip skin defects.

Department of Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery, MITERA Hospital, Hellenic Healthcare Group (HHG), 6 Erithrou Stavrou str., 151 23 Maroussi, Attica, Greece.

Background: Despite a variety of principles proposed for drawing trilobed and quadrilobed flaps for the reconstruction of nasal skin defects, the application of these principles in a detailed and reliable way remains questionable.

Methods: We present a novel method for drawing trilobed and quadrilobed flaps to cover nasal tip skin defects. The method is based on the use of templates corresponding to four trilobed flaps with overall angles of 60°, 70°, 80°, and 90°, and two quadrilobed flaps with angles of 90° and 105°.
