USE OF ISOTRETINOIN AMONG GIRLS AND WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE AND OCCURRENCE OF ISOTRETINOIN-EXPOSED PREGNANCIES IN GERMANY: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY.

Use of isotretinoin among girls and women of childbearing age and occurrence of isotretinoin-exposed pregnancies in Germany: A population-based study.

BackgroundExposure to isotretinoin during pregnancy must be avoided due to its teratogenicity, but real-world data on its use are scarce.We aimed to describe (i) isotretinoin use in women of childbearing age in Germany; (ii) the occurrence of isotretinoin-exposed pregnancies; and (iii) malformations among children exposed in utero.Methods and findi

Tunable characteristics of low-frequency bandgaps in two-dimensional multivibrator phononic crystal plates under prestrain

Abstract In view of the influence of variability of low-frequency noise frequency on noise prevention in real life, we present a novel two-dimensional tunable phononic crystal plate which is consisted of lead columns deposited in a silicone rubber plate with periodic holes and calculate its bandgap characteristics by finite element method.The low-f
