YOUSOFT is a new soft contact lens (CL) specifically designed for the correction of astigmatism. It is a conventional FDA Group II soft contact lens (SCL) and the optical zone in its centre is thick, and on its rear surface it has a prism ballast structure to prevent rotation. This lens was prescribed for a 59-year-old male on the eye with irregular corneal astigmatism after receiving penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for refractive correction, whose eye was difficult to wear hard CLs (HCLs). After following the directions in the fitting manual provided by the manufacturer, fitting was good in the right eye and corrected visual acuity was 20/25 in Snellen Chart. He could continue wearing without CL discomfortable YOUSOFT may be useful in patients who have received PKP.

This study presents a comprehensive finite element model for the human wrist, constructed from a CT scan of a 68-year-old male (type I wrist). This model intricately captures the bone and soft tissue geometries to study the biomechanics of wrist axial loading through tendon-driven simulations and grasping biomechanics using metacarpal loads. Validation is carried out by assessing the radial and ulnar axial loading distribution, radiocarpal articulation contact patterns, and other standard finite element metrics.

The jamming transition of soft particles characterized by narrow size distributions has been well studied by physicists. However, polydispersed systems are more relevant to engineering, and the influence of polydispersity on jamming phenomena is still unexplored. Here, we numerically investigate jamming transitions of polydispersed soft particles in two dimensions.

Background: Soft tissue tumors (STTs) in adolescents are relatively rare, and their characteristics and behavior have not been well studied in this age group. The aim of this study was to describe the clinicopathologic patterns of STTs in adolescents aged 10-19 years according to the 2020 WHO classification.
Method: A 10-year retrospective cross-sectional study of 632 surgical samples from adolescents was conducted at a tertiary health facility to determine the frequency, histological patterns and characteristics of STTs in this population.

We present a simple and inexpensive method for measuring weak cohesive interactions. This technique is applied to the specific case of oil droplets with a depletion interaction, dispersed in an aqueous solution. The experimental setup involves creating a short string of droplets while immobilizing a single droplet.
