BACKGROUND Scaffolds continue to be developed and used for rotator cuff repair augmentation, but clinical or biomechanical data to inform their use are limited. We have developed a reinforced fascia lata patch with mechanical properties to meet the needs of musculoskeletal applications. The objective of this study was to assess the extent to which augmentation of a primary human rotator cuff re...

This paper presents a fluidically loaded microstrip patch antenna on multi-layered substrate with frequency and polarization reconfigurability in the 2400 MHz band. A square at all corners short circuited λg/4 long stubs is utilized. An arrangement of fluidic channels fabricated by moulding Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) 3D printed mould incorporated beneath each stub. By injecting or withdrawing ...

Due to the integration of different wireless applications at different bands on a single device, multi-band microstrip patch antenna is the best solution keeping the overall size of the device small. In the present work, a metamaterial-inspired antenna is proposed for WiMAX/WLAN applications. Design studies, parametric analysis, simulation results along with measurements for a L-shape slotted g...

BACKGROUND Donepezil is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor indicated for Alzheimer's disease. The aim of this randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, dose-escalation study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the donepezil patch in healthy male subjects. METHODS Each healthy male subject received a single transdermal donepezil patch (72 hours ...

A novel model of a wide frequency range double MOS loaded circular microstrip patch antenna with airgap between ground plane and substrate is proposed. In this structure two metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices are loaded on the patch to enhance the operating frequency range of antenna. To investigate the antenna, different parameters such as resonance frequency, input impedance, frequency a...
