PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt as a treatment option for highly increased intraocular pressure in primary open angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (2025)

Abstract Purpose The Preserflo-MicroShunt (PF) is an established device for treating glaucoma, effectively reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) with a good safety record. However, its efficacy in eyes with significantly elevated preoperative IOP levels is not well-documented due to exclusion from many clinical studies. This study aims to evaluate PF outcomes in eyes with highly increased IOP and compare them with those having moderately increased levels.

Identification and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in vegetation leaves using headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) v1 (2025)

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are flammable compounds that are stored in the leaves and other organs of eucalypt trees. To assess the flammability and risk posed by eucalypts, it is important to detect the presence, and estimate the concentration, of VOCs. We escribe a SPME-GC-MS technique to identify VOCs from eucalypt leaf samples.

Modeling the anisotropic squeeze flow during hot press consolidation of thermoplastic unidirectional fiber-reinforced tapes (2024)

The anisotropic material behavior of continuous-fiber-reinforced composites that is evident in their mechanical properties should also be considered in their processing. An important step in the processing of thermoplastic unidirectional (UD) fiber-reinforced tapes is consolidation, where a layup consisting of locally welded UD tape layers is firmly bonded. Compression of the molten thermoplastic matrix material during consolidation leads to a squeeze flow, the direction of which is determined

A Comparison Analysis on Mechanical Properties between 355 µm Bamboo Fiber, Chopped Strand Mat and Epoxy Hybrid Composite versus 500 µm Bamboo Fiber, Chopped Strand Mat and Epoxy Hybrid Composite (2025)

In order to increase the utilization of polymer composite technology, natural fiber reinforced composites are required. Because of its exceptional mechanical qualities, bamboo culm fiber in hybrid composites has drawn the rigorous attention of researchers and producers. Gigantochloa Scortechinii, a particular species of bamboo, was obtained for this investigation from the Bukit Larang hamlet in Melaka, Malaysia. In these trials, a 5 mm thick metal mold was used to manually lay-up epoxy, chopped

Melatonin alleviates senile osteoporosis by regulating autophagy and enhancing fracture healing in aged mice (2025)

AimsIn our previous research, we have found that melatonin (MEL) affects the osteoporotic process. By balancing bone remoulding, autophagy is involved in age-related bone loss. However, as a regulator of autophagy, whether MEL influences senile osteoporosis via regulating autophagy remains unclear.MethodsCellular, radiological, and histopathological evaluations were performed on 36 16-month-old male C57BL6/L mice or aged bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. A MEL-gelatin methacrylamide sy

Efficient Removal of Cassava Wastewater Contaminants Using Plantain Peel-Derived Activated Carbon (2024)

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is largely processed for food in tropical Africa. Wastewaters are generated from cassava processing and contains toxic chemical contents that pose risks to humans, the environment, and other living organisms. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, Nigeria is a leading cassava-producing country in the world; hence, addressing this problem is paramount and requires an approach that effectively removes the contaminants in the effluents. Therefore, thi
