PURPOSE To assess the effect of cyanoacrylate glue on knot slippage and strength in vitro. METHODS Ethibond 3/0 was tested using a tensile tester. A single drop of cyanoacrylate glue was applied to the knots. Seven knot configurations (10 samples each) were tested: (1) a surgeon's knot (S) plus 4 square throws (+4) without glue (control group), (2) S plus one square throw (+1) without glue, (...

Surgical glues have been used in pediatric surgery because of the fragility of tissue, and to prevent major surgeries. The present report describes our experience with using a new cya-noacrylate Glubran 2 (Viareggio, Italy) in the treatment of five cases of tracheoesophageal atresia with fistula (one fistula protection, three recurrent fistula, and one unstable patients), two cases of hypospadi...

in this study, hybrid of phenol formaldehyde-fish glue was used to replace the chemical resin in plywood manufacturing. for this purpose, fish glue was applied at three levels including 0, 10 and 20 percent based on the dry weight of resin. physical and mechanical properties of manufactured plywoods were measured. thickness swelling after 2 and 24 hours immersion in tap water, bending strength,...

introduction :   co 2 (carbon dioxide) laser application in circumcision, for cutting and coagulation, has been reported to have excellent results. also, tissue glue has been reported to have advantages over sutures for approximation of wound edges. most previous studies focused on comparisons between co 2 laser and scalpel, or between tissue glue and sutures. this study prospectively compared ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Efficacy of fibrin glue to prevent biliary or pancreas fistula at the resected edge of the liver or pancreas is controversial. We examined surgical results of fibrin glue use in patients who underwent hepatectomy or pancreatectomy to assess the efficacy of its use. METHODOLOGY Subjects were divided into two groups; the fibrin glue group in hepatectomy (n=228) and in pancreatec...

In controller synthesis, i.e., the question whether there is a controller or strategy to achieve some objective in a given system, the controller is often realized as some kind of automaton. In the context of the exogenous coordination language Reo, where the coordination glue code between the components is realized as a network of channels, it is desirable for such synthesized controllers to a...

conclusions the outcome of this study is that the oca has no toxic effect on h9c2 cells. results the results showed that the percentage of survived cells amount of extract dilution ratio (1:4; 1:2; 1) were 80.4%; 79.6%, 77.5% respectively. analysis of statistical test results does not show any significant differences between the optical density of the extract dilutions, and the control group in...
