Two experiments were conducted to compare techniques to maximise the amount of milk harvested mechanically from Poll Dorset ewes. The treatments were double cupping, machine stripping, Sagi hook, a negative control (no extra stripping applied) and a positive control (residual milk withdrawn after injecting 5 IU of oxytocin). In the first experiment it was shown that the amount of milk collected...

desmoplastic fibroma is a rare, locally aggressive, benign lesion. a case of desmoplastic fibroma of left side of mandible is reported. the lesion presented as painless mass in left posterior portion of mandible of a 7-year-old girl. histologically the lesion was composed of interlacing fascicles of benign appearing fibroblast in a varying ground substance of collagenous tissue. in this report,...

We have treated 94 patients with chronic instability of the lateral side of the ankle by reconstruction of the ligaments with local periosteal tissue. We reviewed 90 cases after a mean follow-up of 2.8 years (2 to 9) using a questionnaire, clinical examination and radiography. The results on a 100-point ankle score indicated that 81% had a good or excellent result. The periosteal flap-replaceme...

Interposed soft tissues can block the anatomical reduction of displaced physeal fractures in children and may necessitate surgical removal. The authors describe a new technique in which they surgically freed the interposed distal-based periosteal flap in an irreducible Salter-Harris type II fracture in a 6-year-old boy and then used this flap in a tension band mode to stabilize the fracture. Th...
