Conductive silicone elastomer carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composites possess potential applications in a variety of fields, including electronic skin, wearable electronics, and human motion detection. Based on a novel self-made covalent adaptable network (CANs) of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) containg dynamic steric-hindrance pyrazole urea bond (PDMS-CANs), CNTs wrapped PDMS-CANs (CNTs@PDMS-CANs) powders were prepared by a liquid phase adsorption and deposition, and were successfully used for selective laser sintering (SLS) three-dimensional printing. SLS-printed PDMS-CANs/CNTs nanocomposites possess high electrical conductivity and low percolation threshold as SLS is one kind of quasi-static processing, which leads to the formation of conductive segregated CNTs network by using the PDMS powders with special CNTs wrapped structure. The introduction of dynamic pyrazole urea bond endows the materials self-healing capability under electrothermal and photothermal stimulus. In addition, due to the resistance difference of the damaged and intact areas, crack diagnosing can be realized by infrared thermograph under electricity. In an application demonstration in strain sensor, the composite exhibits a regular cyclic electrical resistance change at cyclic compression and bending, indicating a relative high reliability.

Importance: Adult laryngeal hemangiomas are rare and may cause symptoms such as dysphonia, dysphagia, and dyspnea. Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers offer an alternative approach to managing this rare condition.
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of CO2 lasers in treating adult hemangioma and to identify potential side effects associated with this treatment modality.

Early diagnosis of tumors allows effective treatment of primary cancers through localized therapeutic interventions. However, developing diagnostic tools for sensitive, simple, and early tumor (especially less than 2 mm in diameter) detection remains a challenge. Herein, we presented a biomarker-activatable nanoprobe that enabled a near-infrared (NIR) photothermally amplified signal for fluorescence imaging and urinalysis of tumor.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by percutaneous transcatheter ablation is its pivotal treatment. Nowadays, several techniques using different energy sources are used, such as radiofrequency (RF), cryoablation and laser ablation. A new technology that combines the strengths of different techniques has been developed, in particular having both the speed of one-shot techniques and the selectivity and precision of point-by-point RF: the RF balloon (RFB).

Objectives: To compare the adaptation of maxillary removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks fabricated through direct digital workflows with that of traditional cast frameworks and indirect digital frameworks.
Methods: The workflow for fabricating the digital cobalt-chromium framework encompassed intraoral scanning (IOS) using Trios 3, computer-aided survey and design, and subsequently either the lost-wax technique from a printed resin framework pattern (Framework B) or direct selective laser melting (SLM) (Framework C). The traditional cast framework (Framework A) was selected as a control.

This study describes procedures for embedding digital information into additively manufactured components as well as procedures for readout and tensile testing. Embedded digital codes were printed inside ASTM E8/E8M dumbbells using Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLS) with an EOS M290 printer. The codes were configured as either ellipsoids or prolate spheroids in patterns given by the Cantor dust fractal.
