1.	Obesity 05/27/2022 - "Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Intestinal Sleeve Implants for the Treatment of Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes." 05/27/2022 - "The PVDF was implanted into alloxan-induced diabetic rats, which were used as a model of impaired insulin secretion due to pancreatic beta cell destruction rather than obesity-induced diabetes, and rats were tracked for 24 days, showing significantly improved body weight and blood glucose levels. " 05/27/2022 - "In this study, two methods, solution casting and machine direction orientation (MDO), were used to prepare intestinal implants made of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) film and implant them into the duodenum of type 2 diabetic rats for the treatment of obesity and blood glucose control. "
2.	Hernia (Hernias) 08/01/2002 - "Analyzing the results confirmed that construction of hernia meshes made of PVDF could be an advantageous alternative to the commonly used materials due to an improved biostability. " 04/01/2009 - "The laparoscopic repair of incisional and parastomal hernias with meshes made of PVDF (Dynamesh IPOM) revealed low recurrence and, overall, low complication rates. " 04/01/2009 - "This prospective observational study presents the data of 344 patients treated for incisional and parastomal hernias with a new mesh made of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF; Dynamesh IPOM) between May 2004 and January 2008 with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. " 07/01/2019 - "Iron oxide-impregnated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) meshes are proven to have MRI visibility in hernia or vaginal reconstructive surgery. "
3.	Obstructive Sleep Apnea 09/01/2005 - "The PVDF sensor compared favorably with a "gold standard" method of detecting respiratory events during sleep in patients with obstructive sleep apnea." 12/01/2013 - "Sixty patients undergoing routine PSG testing to rule out obstructive sleep apnea at two different sleep laboratories were asked to wear a third PVDF airflow sensor in addition to the traditional thermal sensor and pressure sensor. " 09/01/2005 - "Compare the ability of a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thermal sensor and a pneumotachograph to detect respiratory events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. "
4.	Pneumonia (Pneumonitis) 01/01/2019 - "Herein we report that the Thomson Standard and eXtreme/FV® filter vials (0.2 μm polyvinylidene difluoride filter membrane) are as effective as gold standard microporous membrane-based syringe filters at removing bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumonia, from media samples produced in the microbiological laboratory." 09/01/2013 - "It was found that more than 200 ppm of silver nanoparticles in the PVdF nanofiber had 99.9% of growth inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia. "
5.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 05/27/2022 - "The PVDF was implanted into alloxan-induced diabetic rats, which were used as a model of impaired insulin secretion due to pancreatic beta cell destruction rather than obesity-induced diabetes, and rats were tracked for 24 days, showing significantly improved body weight and blood glucose levels.
