A series of 247 post-operative eventrations (POE) is reported with a study of general features, such as: patients' sex and age, size, location and etiology of POE (serial laparotomies, parietal sepsis), classic predisposing factors. Pre-operative preparation involved the use of Goni-Moreno progressive pneumo-peritoneum in 18.5% of patients. The procedures used were: parietal suturing (25%), the same plus a dacron buttress (6%), or a large reinforcing Dacron Mesh prosthesis (67%). Early sepsis was slightly more frequent after Dacron use. The incidence of predisposing factors in this field is reported. Other complications of the use of Dacron Mesh are studied (hematomas, skin necrosis). The post-operative uncomplicated course rate is 91%. Follow-up of 77% of operated patients showed satisfactory overall results in 81% of patients treated with Dacron prosthesis and in less than 50% after parietal suturing. Aseptic recurrence factors and late sepsis factors are also studied. Finally the efficiency of POE prosthetic repair is stressed and mandatory rules for the safe of Dacron Mesh are underlined.

Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate current choices in practice and outcomes of biomaterials used in patch repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
Background: Multiple biomaterials, both novel and combinations of pre-existing materials are employed in patch repair of large size CDHs.
Methods: A literature search was performed across Embase, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Objective: Lung transplantation is the only life-saving treatment for lung diseases that do not respond to medical treatment. Heart-lung harvesting requires a careful procedure to protect an adequate donor left atrial cuff around the junction of the superior and inferior pulmonary veins. This study aims to describe inadequate left atrial cuff during harvest and techniques of reconstruction at the threshold of literature.

Objective: Calcification of vascular grafts, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts may contribute to graft failure, but is under reported. The aim of this study was to review the literature to assess whether vascular graft calcification is deleterious to vascular graft outcomes.
Data Sources: The Medline and Embase databases were searched.

This study sought to assess microplastic contamination in the surface water of the inland freshwater wetland, Bueng Boraphet Wetland, Thailand, which is a lentic system with various land-use patterns, including community areas, agricultural areas, and natural resource conservation areas. In 2019, water samples were collected during the wet and dry periods from the three land-use zones at depths of 0-30 cm using a plankton net with 333 µm in mesh size. The water samples were digested via a wet peroxide oxidation process prior to the identification of microplastic morphology using a stereomicroscope.

The processing-structure-property relationship using poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is explored. Specifically, both pre-extension and preshear of amorphous PLA and PET above their glass transition temperatures T , carried out in the affine deformation limit, can induce a specific type of cold crystallization during annealing, i.e.
