AIMS To investigate (1) whether adequate immunohistochemical staining can be achieved on sections cut from plastic embedded bone marrow trephine biopsy specimens after microwave heating in citrate buffer; and (2) whether this immunohistochemical staining is comparable with that achieved on routine sections cut from paraffin wax embedded trephine biopsy specimens after decalcification procedures...

This thesis examines interactive computer graphics and biomechanical engineering analysis as components in a computer simulation system for planning plastic surgeries. A new synthesis of plastic surgery planning techniques is proposed based on a task-level analysis of the problem. The medical goals, procedures, and current planning techniques for plastic surgery are reviewed, and from this a li...

A line integral is exhibited which has the same value for all paths surrounding the tip of a notch in the two-dimensional strain field of an elastic or deformation-type elastic-plastic material. Appropriate integration path' choices serye bOlh to relate Ihe integral to the near tip deformatiot~s and, in many cases. to permit its direct e:tlalutllion. This (l.t'eraged measure of the near tip fie...

BACKGROUND The thermal burn is accidental and also is the hidden and worst complication of medical plaster application. This study evaluated clinical and aetiological profile and severity of plaster burns. METHODS In Department of Burns, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery from 1st August 2014 to 31st December 2015, six patients with plaster burn were assessed for total body surface area and ...
