MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION DATA OF POLYACRYLAMIDE HYDROGEL FORMULATIONS AND 3D PRINTED PLA FOR APPLICATION IN HUMAN HEAD PHANTOMS

Mechanical characterization data of polyacrylamide hydrogel formulations and 3D printed PLA for application in human head phantoms

To study human traumatic brain injury (TBI) mechanics, a realistic surrogate must be developed for testing in impact experiments.In this data brief, materials used Mugs to simulate brain tissue and skull are characterized for application in a full-scale human head phantom.Polyacrylamide hydrogels are implemented as tissue scaffolds and tissue mimic

Plasma levels of adhesion molecules are elevated in dermatomyositis-interstitial lung disease and associated with low paraoxonase-1 activity

Abstract Objective To evaluate circulating levels of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and DM associated interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD).Methods We performed a cross-sectional study in plasma samples from DM patients and matched healthy controls.Plasm

Leptospermum petersonii as a Potential Natural Food Preservative

Leptospermum petersonii (family Myrtaceae) is often cultivated for ornamental purposes but also serves as a rich source of bioactive essential oils.While several studies focused on the activities of the essential oils, this study analysed the potential Mugs of spent L.petersonii leaves as a natural food preservative.Method: We investigated the in v
