Leprosy disease remains an important public health issue as it is still endemic in several countries.Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, presents Dust Pans tropism for cells of the reticuloendothelial and peripheral nervous system.Current multidrug therapy consists of clofazimine, dapsone and rifampicin.Despite significant improve
Quantitative evaluation of enhanced laser tattoo removal by skin optical clearing
Lasers have been widely used for tattoo removal, but the limited light penetration Solid Hotplate Scraper depth caused by high skin scattering property restricts the therapeutic outcome of deep tattoo.Skin optical clearing method, by introducing optical clearing agent (OCA) into skin, has shown some improvement in the effect of laser tattoo removal
Iris reconstruction using autologous iris preserved in cold balanced salt solution for 8 hours in iatrogenic total iridodialysis during cataract surgery: a case report
Abstract Background A large iris defect or extensive iridodialysis can be an intractable cause of visual sculture disturbance, photophobia, glare, monocular diplopia, or cosmetic deformity.The implantation of an artificial iris substitute could be an effective option, but this can cause a reduction in endothelial cell density.We succeeded in the an
Innovative passive multifrequency propeller device for noise and vibration reduction in turboprop fuselage
One of the main comfort issue affecting the passenger comfort into a turboprop aircraft fuselage is the propeller tonal noise and the related vibrations.It is well known that propeller rotation during flight generates the main noise sources, depending upon its rotational angular velocity, number of blades, power at shaft generating aircraft thrust
