Genetic Profiling in Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of highly malignant mesenchymal tumors that account for ~1% of all malignancies. Frequent heterogeneity and pleomorphism along with suboptimal diagnostic reproducibility and insufficient prognostic markers make clinical management of these tumors …

Materials and Nanostructured Coatings for Soft Tissue Regeneration
… cell injection are still problematic. Myocardial Tissue Engineering (MTE) is a Regenerative Medicine approach, able to integrate cell therapy with the use of polymeric substrates (myocardial scaffolds or heart patches) that can reduce cell loss and potentially prevent remodeling and fibrotic …

Clinical and Biological Patterns in Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare malignant tumors, of which 3/4 are high-grade and 1/3 metastasize. For optimal management, STSs should be treated at multidisciplinary sarcoma centers. Study I demonstrated that simple referral guidelines, an open-access outpatient clinic and repeated educative …

Efficient techniques for soft tissue modeling and simulation
… mass spring systems can accurately simulate tissue deformations but choosing parameters that capture nonlinear deformation behavior is extremely difficult. Since most of the applications require a large number of elements i. e. points and springs in the modeling process it is extremely …

Soft Tissue Sarcoma Patterns multiplicity, heterogeneity and growth characteristics
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) represent a group of rare and heterogenous tumors that optimally should be diagnosed and treated within multidisciplinary teams. This thesis has studied various aspects ? pathological, genetical, and clinical ? of STS. In study I, we demonstrated that 20% of the patients …

Multi Array, Conformable Ultrasound Patch for Soft Tissue Imaging
Medical ultrasound imaging is a rapidly growing field due to its safety and affordability when compared to other imaging modalities such as MRI and X-Ray. Ultrasound transducers are made in various configurations from dense 2-D arrays for volumetric imaging to single element needle like transducers …

The Current Use of Soft Tissue Lasers in Orthodontic Practices
This study investigated the use of soft tissue lasers in orthodontic practices, specifically whether the orthodontist demographics and practice characteristics influenced the use of soft tissue laser within an office. The study also examined whether the use of soft tissue laser had an impact on the …

Development of an Adhesive Emulsion Hydrogel for Soft Tissue Reconstruction
<p>Soft tissue filling materials are most commonly associated with various aesthetic, cosmetic procedures, primarily using lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid to fill wrinkles and give facial features a more youthful appearance. These natural materials are biocompatible but degrade over time while …
