Abstract:
... OBJECTIVE: To describe the transoral endoscopic arytenopexy (TEA) and evaluate its effects on the rima glottis area (RGA) and laryngeal epiglottic‐glottic seal (LEGS). We hypothesize the TEA will be a feasible surgical technique and the TEA will provide a significant increase in RGA with minimal change to the LEGS. STUDY DESIGN: Canine cadaveric model. ANIMALS: Fifteen medium‐ to large‐breed canin ...

Abstract:
... One strategy to prepare phase-separated co-assembly is to use the existing assembly as a platform to architect structures. For this purpose, the edge of a sheet or tube-shaped molecular assembly, which is less hydrophilic than the bulk region can become a starting point to build assembly units to realize more complex structures. In this study, we succeeded in preparing rod-shaped nanocapsules with ...

Abstract:
... Minimally invasive interventions to ameliorate or correct fetal abnormalities are becoming a clinical reality. However, the iatrogenic preterm prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes (FMs) (iPPROM), which may result in preterm birth, remains a main complication. Despite the cause of iPPROM not being fully known, the puncture created by the fetoscope remains unhealed until the end of the pregnancy, ...

Abstract:
... Good quality packaging prevents contamination, secures preservation, and increases the ease of transportation in food and medical industries. One particular weakness of the package lies in the seal region where contents can be unintentionally incorporated, which disrupts the sealing process and compromises the structure and durability of the seal. To validate the seal quality effectively at high s ...

Abstract:
... Recently, various internals for rotating packed beds (RPBs) have been developed. However, the technical maturity of these internals is still relatively low compared to packings for columns. In this work, a novel design is proposed for RPBs, consisting of a seal structure combined with a Zickzack packing. The seal structure around the packing was developed to avoid bypasses in the spaces between pa ...
