3D Printing Technology for Microneedle Preparation
Microneedles have gained significant attention in recent years for their potential in drug delivery applications. These tiny needles, typically measuring less than 1 mm in length, can painlessly penetrate the skin and deliver drugs in a precise and controlled manner. One of the key challenges in microneedle fabrication is achieving high precision and uniformity in needle design, and this is where ...

The Advantages of Exenatide Microneedle Patch Preparation Technology
The backing layer is prepared with the same polymer solution as the needle tip, and polyvinyl alcohol is used as the backing film-forming material to support the microneedle fractions, so that the backing layer has a tight bond with the microneedle tip, and the backing film and the needle tip can be consistently detached from the mold when the film is uncovered, without the problem of process ...

Exploring the Origins and Categorization of Microneedles
Microneedles (MN) is a new type of physical permeability-enhancing technology. It consists of multiple micron-scale fine needle tips connected to the base in an array. The needle body is generally 10-2000 microns high and 10-50 microns wide. The length, size and shape of the microneedles can be individually designed according to the needs of the application. When the microneedle delivers the ...

Targeted Region Sequencing in Human Disease Studies and Clinical Care
Introduction to target region sequencing Since the introduction of Sanger sequencing in 1977, genetic sequencing has been greatly improved with costs simultaneously falling. With the ability to rapidly produce large volumes of sequencing data, next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables researchers to obtain whole genome or targeted regions of samples. Targeted region sequencing is preferred by ...

The Power of Digital Pathology: Why Labs Everywhere Should Make the Switch
Pathology as it is practiced today in labs around the world is not all that different from the pathology of the 19th century. The microscope has changed relatively little since then, and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained slides remain the bread and butter of the pathologist. Yet it is not for lack of technological development; in recent years, digital pathology whole slide scanners, digital ...

Where can I Buy a Suture Removal Kit?
Sutures are used when the wound is deep and cracking. For example, if you can see the fat in your cut, you should have stitches. If you were to just cover the wound with a bandage, it would just pull the top portion of the tissue together, leaving the tissue underneath still separate. And The small gap could become a breeding ground for infection. Suturing means that you get all the layers of ...

A New Concept of Mosaicplasty: Autologous Osteoperiosteal Cylinder Graft Covered With Cellularized Scaffold
Abstract: A concern regarding osteochondral autograft transfer for chondral defects is donor-site morbidity of the knee, the most common source of the autograft. To avoid the drawbacks of osteochondral autograft transfer, a cylindrical osteoperiosteal graft harvested from the iliac crest covered by a same-sized cylinder of hyaluronic acidebased polymer scaffold pretreated with bone marrow ...

Needle-Free: A Nurse`s Perspective
According to the CDC, nurses are affected by needle stick injuries more than any other single professional group.¹ We sat down with a nurse who works in a hospital located in the Greater Boston Area to discuss instances of needle stick injuries. To keep the identity of the nurse secret, we have used an alternate name Jane. Portal Instruments: The CDC estimates about ...

How to choose the right pliers to make the work more efficient?
Pliers are a multi-purpose hand tool with opposing jaws for gripping, bending and cutting. Pliers are an important part of every toolbox because they have multiple uses for the home. Whether you are an apprentice, hobbyist, handyman, machinist, or just someone who enjoys building and tinkering with mechanical objects, you need to know which tools are best for each project or repair. Knowing which ...

Needlestick Injury - the pointy end of a preventable pandemic
The Challenge Every 60 minutes, of every day, six people suffer a needlestick injury somewhere in the world. Every day, 3 people die as a result of those injuries[1]. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports in the World Health Report 2002, that of the 35 million health-care workers world wide, two million experience percutaneous exposure to infectious diseases each year[2]. WHO estimates ...

Investigation into the Feasibility of a 2 mL Needle-Free Injector
The current paradigm of injectable drug delivery has stagnated since the early 2000s. Despite recent innovations, like the launch in Europe of the first electromechanical reusable and connected auto-injector (UCB’s CIMZIA ava Connect® in early 2021), almost all new biologic drugs are launched with specific and undifferentiated self-injection options: a spring-based ...
