This report describes an original, removable, peripheral device: a microinjector that injects a single dose of fluid chemical into a particular site in the brain of freely moving rats. The microinjector was constructed especially for simultaneous use with a microdrive for microelectrode recording of single neuron activity but can be utilized alone. The microinjector is simple, lightweight, small, and easy to operate and maintain.

Advanced and uneven residual ridge resorption in mandibular edentulous arches leads to non-retentive and unstable dentures. The hardness of traditional heat-cured acrylic resin makes extending the denture base into bilateral lingual undercuts challenging. This can cause supporting tissue damage, pain, and ulcerations during denture insertion and removal.

The 1989 Saint Vincent Declaration established a goal of halving global diabetes-related amputation rates. A generation later, this goal has been achieved for major but not minor amputations. However, diabetic foot disease (DFD) is not only a leading cause of global amputation but also of hospitalisation, poor quality of life (QoL) and disability burdens.
