Abstract
During laparoscopic abdominal hernia repair (LAHR) there is a discrepancy in relative position of mesh and fixation points during the procedure (while abdominal cavity is distended with gas) and afterwards. Therefore, after the surgery the prosthesis becomes corrugated, and tension d...

Abstract
We present the evaluation of a living, tissue-engineered IVD composed of a gelatinous nucleus pulposus surrounded by an aligned collagenous annulus fibrosus in the caudal spine of athymic rats for up to 6 mo. When implanted into the rat caudal spine, tissue-engineered IVD maintained disc space heigh...

Abstract
We found that the degradation of aqueous based silk is much faster than HFIP based silk scaffolds. Also, HFIP based silk scaffolds supported the soft dental pulp formation better than the aqueous based silk scaffolds. No distinct hard tissue regeneration was found in any of the implants, with or wit...

Abstract
The main goal of surgical glaucoma treatment is to reduce the intraocular pressure. The standard procedure over the past 40 years has been trabeculectomy, first described in 1968. This procedure comes with a very high risk profile, and results in moderate long-term results at best. Tube shunt device...
