Background: As liver surgery continues to evolve, be it open, laparoscopic or robotic, it remains a procedure that can deteriorate in the blink of an eye. Liver surgery in patients with hepatoma is further complicated, as the vast majority have significant fibrosis, if not cirrhosis. Thus, parenchymal sparing resection is increasingly necessary. Effective and safe intracorporeal mobilization of the liver is essential for minimal access parenchymal-sparing and conventional resection.
Methods: This retrospective review of over 150 cases performed provides a hands-on approach to laparoscopic hepatic mobilization with the use of an inexpensive technique using a 1" packing tape to "Sling" the liver in-order to divide the ligaments holding the liver in place and optimally position the liver for parenchymal transection.
Results: Use of a 1" packing tape to "Sling" the liver intracorporeally is demonstrated to enable mobilization of the liver for tissue sparing non-anatomic, anatomic and major resections.
Conclusion: Use of a 1" packing tape to "Sling" the liver intracorporeally can facilitate mobilization for resection. Surgeons hoping to master minimal access resection should also be well versed in the use of laparoscopic ultrasound and liver transplant "Piggyback" technique.

Case Series Summary: Described are three cats diagnosed with rhinosinusitis secondary to , species and species, respectively. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed to identify cats with decreased nasal airflow and mucopurulent discharge that failed to improve on antibiotic therapy of 3 months or longer duration. Surgical debridement was followed by nasal packing using 5% povidone-iodine saturated umbilical tape, which was replaced at 24 h postoperatively.

Article Synopsis
- * The research used a tape casting technique to produce larger PLA-oil films that required less solvent, and these films were analyzed for various properties, including their antimicrobial effectiveness, mechanical strength, and moisture barrier capabilities.
- * Results showed that the 50 wt% essential oil blend significantly extended the shelf-life of waffles from 2 days to 30 days, with Vanilla effectively masking the odor of T. ammi and confirming the films' time-released oil properties through infrared spectroscopy.
Tape-assisted fabrication method for constructing PDMS membrane-containing culture devices with cyclic radial stretching stimulation.

Advanced culture systems have emerged as alternatives to animal testing and traditional cell culture methods in biomedical research. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is frequently used in creating sophisticated culture devices owing to its elastomeric properties, which allow mechanical stretching to simulate physiological movements in cell experiments. We introduce a straightforward method that uses three types of commercial tape-generic, magic and masking-to fabricate PDMS membranes with microscale thicknesses (47.

Article Synopsis
- Salt iodization in Nigeria has seen success as a public-private partnership but is now facing challenges due to poor implementation and regulation, leading to increased availability of non-iodized salt.
- A study conducted in Ibadan, Oyo state, assessed the awareness and behaviors of salt marketers and consumers regarding iodized salt, involving various market participants through surveys and interviews.
- The findings revealed low awareness of iodization regulations among consumers (only 3%) and highlighted why many preferred non-branded salt, such as cost and quantity, while identifying safe handling practices mainly among wholesalers.
