Rubber band constriction syndrome has been described in the literature, although there are very few case reports. Non-healing recurrent tenosynovitis and synovitis of the wrist joint demonstrating a circular rubber band on imaging has not been described before. Imaging studies showed retained circular band deep to the extensor tendons, embedded within the joint capsule. Surgical removal of the band by open incision led to a dramatic improvement in the outcome of the patient. V.

Survival of periodontal ligament myofibroblasts after short-term mechanical strain in rats and in vitro: Could myofibroblasts contribute to orthodontic relapse?
Arch Oral Biol
January 2025
Department of Dentistry-Orthodontics and Craniofacial Biology, Research Institute for Medical Innovation, Radboud university medical center, Philips van Leydenlaan 25, Nijmegen 6525 EX, the Netherlands. Electronic address:
Objectives: To investigate in vivo whether myofibroblasts formed in the PDL after exposure to short-term high experimental orthodontic forces in rats survive. To study in vitro whether human PDL fibroblasts can differentiate into myofibroblasts and survive when chemical or mechanical stimuli are removed.
Design: Nine 6-week-old male Wistar rats were used in this experiment.
Rubber band ligation or shaobei injection for the endoscopic treatment of symptomatic hemorrhoids? A retrospective study.

Department of General Surgery (Endoscopic Surgery), The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, No. 26 Yuancun Erheng Road, Tianhe, Guangzhou, 510655, Guangdong, China.
Background: It is unknown whether Shaobei injection is superior to band ligation for endoscopic symptomatic hemorrhoid treatment. We compared the clinical efficacy, safety, and health economics of the two techniques.
Aims: This study aims to compare the efficacy, safety and health economics of endoscopic injection of Shaobei and endoscopic ligation in the treatment of grade I-IV symptomatic hemorrhoids.
A Three-Dimensional, Flexible Conductive Network Based on an MXene/Rubber Composite for Lithium Metal Anodes.

Flexibility enhancement is a pressing issue in the current development of advanced lithium-metal battery applications. Many types of organic polymers are inherently flexible, which can form a composite structure enhancing electrode flexibility. However, organic polymers have a negative influence on the plating and stripping of lithium-metal anodes, and the large number of polymers block the pore of the material, reducing the utilization of the active site.

Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is a prevalent proctological condition that has puzzled people since ancient times, and the most common symptom is painless bleeding. Traditional treatments include conservative treatment, nonsurgical office-based treatments, and surgery. Sclerotherapy is one of the oldest forms of nonoperative intervention and is widely used to treat internal hemorrhoids with the development of endoscopy technology.

In this study, a multi-slotted antenna is designed and characterized that can be used for wearable applications by utilizing a flexible, durable silicone rubber substrate. Flexible material has become increasingly popular among researchers in recent years for the development of wearable antennas for body area networks (BAN). The flexible device should be small in size so that it can be easily worn on the human body by integrating with wearables for transmitting and receiving signals over a sufficiently long distance.
