pus escaped, and subsequently light water dressing was applied. Next morning the bandage was found quite saturated with discharge, and on removing the dressing and applying gentle pressure over the riizht iliac fossa, about half an ounce of clear, serous fluid (peritoneal) oozed out ; on the left side the edges of the incision showed a tendency to heal, without any further purulent accumulation...

ImageS region containing bony defects of approximately 2×3 cm using a regraft from amputated soft tissue of the forehead. Thus, we obtained a good treatment outcome without using previously reported treatment methods such as a tie-over dressing although vascular anastomosis could not be performed in our case. Here, we report on our treatment outcomes. In July 2009, a 52-year-old woman visited a...

The prioritization of interaction test suites has received more attention in the field of combinatorial interaction testing, especially when testing resources are limited to allow the part of combinatorial test cases to be executed. Many strategies have been proposed to prioritize interaction test suites according to different evaluation measures. However, most of these strategies may face a ch...

We develop the derivation we proposed in hep-th/0703177 of the dressing phase of the S-matrix in the AdS/CFT correspondence in the framework of the underlying bare integrable model. We elaborate the configuration of the Bethe roots describing the physical vacuum, which consists of a long Bethe string stretched along the imaginary axis and stacks distributed along the real axis. We determine the...

In examining genetic data in recent publications, Backeljau et al. showed cases in which two or more different trees (tie trees) were constructed from a single data set for the neighbor-joining (NJ) method and the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA). However, it is still unclear how often and under what conditions tie trees are generated. Therefore, I examined these proble...

Aim To do in vitro test to assess the efficacy of hydrophobic dressing Cutimed® Sorbact® to bind multiresistant bacteria that caused wound infection, the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Method This was a cross sectional study that was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, on January 2009. In-vitr...

This study compares the costs of dressings used in the treatment of patients with a variety of wound aetiologies. The two dressings investigated were a hydrocolloid dressing and a hydrocellular dressing. Secondary objectives included a comparison of dressing durability, time to complete healing, ease of wound cleansing and dressing removal. The study was an open prospective single-centre random...

Two of the important parameters in grinding operation are surface roughness of the workpiece and the amount of consumed energy. These parameters are strongly affected by the condition of grinding wheel surface which is dependent on the dressing parameters. Predicting the roughness of the grinding wheel surface after dressing with known dressing parameters can improve the grinding process. Resea...
