PLATELET-RICH PLASMA LOADED NERVE GUIDANCE CONDUIT AS IMPLANTABLE BIOCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS FOR RECURRENT LARYNGEAL NERVE REGENERATION

Platelet-rich plasma loaded nerve guidance conduit as implantable biocompatible materials for recurrent laryngeal nerve regeneration

Abstract Vocal cord paralysis caused by recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury during thyroidectomy results in hoarseness, aspiration, and dyspnea.We evaluated the usefulness of nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) constructed from an asymmetric polycaprolactone (PCL)/Pluronic F127 porous membrane and filled with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for functional

Roof Reconstruction from Point Clouds using Importance Sampling

We propose a novel fully automatic technique for roof fitting in 3D point clouds based on sequential importance sampling (SIS).Our approach makes no assumption of the nature (sparse, dense) or origin (LIDAR, image matching) of the point clouds and further distinguishes, automatically, Storage between different basic roof types based on model select

Neutrophils in COVID-19

Strong evidence has been accumulated since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic that neutrophils play an important role in the pathophysiology, particularly in those with severe disease courses.While originally considered to be a rather homogeneous cell type, recent attention to neutrophils has uncovered their fascinating transcriptional and func
