MICROSTRUCTURE VERSUS TOPOGRAPHY: THE IMPACT OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC SUBSTRATE MODIFICATION DURING ULTRASHORT PULSED DIRECT LASER INTERFERENCE PATTERNING ON THE ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES OF CU

Microstructure versus topography: the impact of crystallographic substrate modification during ultrashort pulsed direct laser interference patterning on the antibacterial properties of Cu

Introduction: Topographic surface patterning in the micro- and nanometer scale has evolved into a well applied approach in surface functionalization following biomimetic blueprints from nature.Depending on the production process an additional impact of process-related substrate modification has to be considered in functional surface optimization.Th

Central pain processing in chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study.

Life expectancy in multiple myeloma has significantly increased.However, a high incidence of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) can negatively influence quality of life during this period.This study applied functional magnetic resonance Cuticle imaging (fMRI) to compare areas associated with central pain processing in patients with m
