Purpose Of Review: The use of stem cell therapy is a rapidly evolving and progressing frontier of science that has been used to treat illnesses such as malignancies, immunodeficiencies, and metabolic syndromes. This review aims to give an overview of the use of stem cell therapy in the treatment of pain caused by diabetic neuropathy, osteoarthritis, and other spinal cord pathologies.

Recent Findings: Pain is defined as a generalized or localized feeling of distress related to a physical or emotional stimulus and can be caused by a multitude of pathologies.

Background: There is no definitive solution for the treatment of striae distensae (SD), and effectiveness of each treatment method remains controversial. We aimed to investigate and compare the efficacy of the combination of Erbium YAG (Er:YAG) laser and stromal vascular fraction (SVF), the combination of Er:YAG laser and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Er:YAG laser plus saline in the treatment of SD.

Materials And Methods: In 12 participating patients with at least three lesions (36 lesions in total), each lesion was treated with an Er:YAG laser.

Knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) are two of the leading causes of disability globally. Knee OA is characterized by gradual degeneration of articular cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. Patients older than 50 years typically present with knee OA, but it can manifest earlier, particularly following traumatic knee injuries.

Studies targeting the blood repellency and autonomous anticoagulation of superhydrophobic (SH) surfaces are potentially valuable for their application in blood contact. The anticoagulation abilities and potential mechanisms of different SH surfaces urgently need to be revealed. In this study, a range of microprotrusion arrays on Al substrates with varying spacings via laser ablation through the utilization of organic adsorption and siloxane coupling reactions were fabricated.
