Article Title: A simple and low-cost approach for irreversible bonding of polymethylmethacrylate and polydimethylsiloxane at room temperature for high-pressure hybrid microfluidics

doi: 10.1038/s41598-021-83011-8

Figure Lengend Snippet: Bonding strategy and microchannel design. ( a ) Schematic of the method to bond PMMA and PDMS layers at room temperature (23 °C). This method was an adhesive-based technique involving oxygen plasma treatment of PDMS bonded to adhesive tape already laminated on PMMA. Double-sided PSA tape is an adhesive strip that is coated on both sides of a flexible plastic film as a carrier. ( b ) Two types of microfluidic chips were fabricated using the adhesive-based technique developed in this work; a simple straight microchannel (total length of 30 mm, height of 0.4 mm, and width of 1 mm) and a serpentine microchannel (total length of 190 mm, height of 0.4 mm, width of 0.3 mm, and gap size of 0.4 mm between the microchannels).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Clogging test of the fabricated microchannels. A dye solution was introduced into the ( a ) straight and ( b ) serpentine microchannels. The dye flowed through the microchannels, confirming both microchannels were totally unclogged. White arrows indicate the flow direction. ( c ) Confocal laser scanning microscopy of the straight microchannel filled with a fluorescent dye. Black arrows indicate the flow direction.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Burst pressure test of PDMS–PSA–PMMA bond (experimental set-up and results) and COMSOL simulation of leakage test. ( a ) The experimental set-up for a burst pressure test. Burst pressure test result is shown in ( b ) straight and ( c ) serpentine microchannels. The PDMS–PSA bond endured a pressure of approximately 50 psi while the pressure dramatically dropped not due to the bond failure, but rather a connection leak close to the air pump. ( d ) Simulation of pressure distribution in the straight microchannel, modeled by COMSOL at a flow rate of 30 mL min −1 for dye solution.

Article Title: Treatment of a Recalcitrant Non-union of the Clavicle

doi: 10.5005/jp-journals-10080-1544

Figure Lengend Snippet: Staged non-union repair. During the first surgery, a thorough wound debridement (A) and removal of all hardware (B) were performed; Stability was provided with a straight 3.5-mm titanium LCP (DePuy Synthes, Amersfoort, the Netherlands) as an external fixator; (C) The second stage of the reconstruction was performed using a 3.5-mm titanium pelvic reconstruction LCP on the anteroinferior aspect of the clavicle; (D) ICBG was placed around the non-union; (E) The infected recalcitrant non-union healed without complications

Article Snippet: In this series, plate type was either a single 3.5-mm pelvic reconstruction locking compression plate (LCP, DePuy Synthes, Amersfoort, the Netherlands) that was contoured to fit on the anteroinferior surface or two locking plates in orthogonal (dual plating) fashion., When using two plates, one plate (2.4- or 2.7-mm recon LCP) is placed on the superior surface, and the second one (3.5- or 2.7-mm straight LCP) is placed anteroinferiorly.
