the chemical composition of the essential oil of Lindera subumbel- liflora (Lauraceae) was investigated for the first time. the essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and fully characterised by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-mS). the antifungal activity of L. subumbelliflora essential oil was tested ag

Porous NiTi shape memory alloy is of special interest for bioimplant materials due to its attractive features of NiTi dense structure such as low stiffness, high strength and excellent shape memory and pseudoelastic behavior. This porous NiTi can be produced via powder metallurgy technique using pore forming agent. The pore forming agent is used to

An open fracture is a serious injury and is associated with many complications and poor outcomes. Saving a patient's life precedes saving a limb. Once a patient's life is not in threat, the early aim is to prevent infection. This is done by early systematic debridement and stabilisation. Debridement starts with wound extension following the

The aim of open fracture management is to save life, prevent infection and promote fracture healing. This is done through resuscitation, emergency debridement, temporary stabilization with an external fixator, early soft tissue coverage and end with bone reconstruction. The spanning external fixation is done out of the zone of injury in a safe mann

Placement of the external fixator in the femur is limited because of the presence of the opposite thigh. The conventional fixator is not strong enough to resist the strong deforming forces in the thigh. The circular fixator, although stable, is bulky and interferes with daily activities such as sitting and lying on the bed. The monorail external fi

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the major risk factor for periodontal disease (PD). PD includes a spectrum of disorders ranging from gingivitis to periodontitis. If undetected and left untreated the disease can lead to early tooth loss. Assessing PD health is beneficial for keeping good oral health, which affects on glycemic control of the ch

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability measurement of corneal stromal thickness, sub-basal nerve plexus (SBNP) and keratocyte cell density (KCD) in laser refractive surgery patients. Methods: 120 eyes of 60 participants were recruited and both right and left eyes of the myopic subjects were measured separately. Cornea stromal th
