Saturated Salt Solution Method: A Useful Cadaver Embalming for Surgical Skills Training

This article evaluates the suitability of cadavers embalmed by the saturated salt solution (SSS) method for surgical skills training (SST). SST courses using cadavers have been performed to advance a surgeon's techniques without any risk to patients. One important factor for improving SST is the suitability of specimens, which depends on the embalming method. In addition, the infectious risk an...

Experience of Raising Flaps Using Cadavers Embalmed by Saturated Salt Solution Method

Shogo Hayashi, MD, PhD Masahiro Itoh, MD, PhD Department of Anatomy Tokyo Medical University Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan Sir: I plastic and reconstructive surgery, raising the flap is an important skill1; but sometimes it is difficult for young plastic surgeons to detect and isolate the vessels. However, only a few studies have focused on flap training using cadavers. In these studies, researcher...

Novel Superdielectric Materials: Aqueous Salt Solution Saturated Fabric

The dielectric constants of nylon fabrics saturated with aqueous NaCl solutions, Fabric-Superdielectric Materials (F-SDM), were measured to be >10⁵ even at the shortest discharge times (>0.001 s) for which reliable data could be obtained using the constant current method, thus demonstrating the existence of a third class of SDM. Hence, the present results support the general theoretical SDM hyp...

A microbial arsenic cycle in a salt-saturated, extreme environment.

Searles Lake is a salt-saturated, alkaline brine unusually rich in the toxic element arsenic. Arsenic speciation changed from arsenate [As(V)] to arsenite [As(III)] with sediment depth. Incubated anoxic sediment slurries displayed dissimilatory As(V)-reductase activity that was markedly stimulated by H2 or sulfide, whereas aerobic slurries had rapid As(III)-oxidase activity. An anaerobic, extre...
