Background: Energy-based technologies for tissue sealing and cutting are increasingly supplementing current standards used for haemostasis and dissection during laparoscopic surgery. For their safe and efficacious use in clinical practice, these instruments have to guarantee sufficient burst resistance and low thermal damage to adjacent tissue in combination with good cutting characteristics.
Material And Methods: The novel laparoscopic, bipolar electrosurgical sealing and cutting instrument BiCision® was compared to a commercially available laparoscopic device (EnSeal(™)) on visceral and peripheral arteries and veins in an animal model.
Results: For all parameters investigated (burst pressure, cut quality, tissue adhering to the instrument, time needed to seal and cut the vessel and thermal damage), BiCision® was at least as good as EnSeal(™). Regarding the burst pressure, BiCision® was superior over EnSeal(™) in arteries: 600 mmHg (±478) versus 241 (±269) mmHg, respectively (p < 0.0001*). In veins, almost equivalent burst pressures of 155 ± 134 mmHg (BiCision®) and 173 ± 139 mmHg (EnSeal(™)) were obtained.
Conclusion: BiCision® appeared to be as good as or even superior to EnSeal(™). Since EnSeal(™) has already been shown to be safe and has been successfully used in clinical practice, BiCision® is assumed to be as efficient and reliable as EnSeal(™) under pre-clinical conditions.

Statement Of The Problem: The creation of a proper seal of the root canal with canal-filling materials, such as gutta-percha and sealer, is one of the essential factors in the success of root canal treatment. In addition, the penetration depth of the sealer is one of the influential factors in creating a proper seal, which improves the sealing ability of the canal and the burial of microorganisms.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of cold atmospheric plasma on the depth of tubular penetration of two types of resin sealer: AH26 and Beta RCS sealers.
A Comparison of the Apical Sealing Efficacy Between Guttaflow Bioseal and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as Root-End Filling Materials: An In Vitro Study.

Aim The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Guttaflow Bioseal (Coltene/Whaledent, Altstätten, Switzerland) in achieving an apical seal when utilized as a retrograde filling material in comparison to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Methods Twenty single-rooted single-canaled human teeth were randomly allocated into two equal groups according to the used retrograde filling materials: Guttaflow Bioseal in group I and MTA in group II. The crowns were sectioned, and the root canals were prepared with rotary files and obturated (single cone technique with a resin-based sealer).

Surgical cutting with electrosurgical tools facilitates tissue dissection and vessel sealing, preventing blood loss. The extent of tissue necrosis due to temperature elevations is dependent on the cutting technique, device design, coating properties and power settings, but the influence of these parameters is not fully understood. Here we conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of thermal damage comparing (1) manual user-controlled and robotic electrosurgical cutting approaches for (2) varying electrodes and coatings, and power settings.

Article Synopsis
- The coal-breaking operation in underground mines generates substantial dust, negatively impacting air quality at the tunneling face, which poses risks for workers.
- This study investigates a pneumatic vortex fog curtain dust control system and its effectiveness in trapping respiratory dust, revealing a significant reduction in dust concentration to 2.5 mg/m under various conditions.
- The system shows that even with increased wind speed from auxiliary ventilation, it maintains effective dust suppression without compromising its performance, leading to improved safety and working conditions for miners.

Using ultrasound technology as one of the therapeutic methods, in which ultrasound waves of different frequencies and intensities are employed, has significantly contributed to enhancing and facilitating the treatment process of various diseases. A Hemostatic Ultrasonic Scalpel can entail considerable advantages by simultaneously performing two operations tissue cutting and coagulation of biological tissues. In the present study, employing experimental design through response surface methodology, the effect of ultrasonic power and the duration of vibration application on the tissue has been investigated.
