Selection of Patients Between November, 1961, and October, 1964, 182 cases of detached retina came to surgery. They were treated as follows: Arruga string operation, 112 cases; silicone rod implant, 33 cases; scieral resection or overlay, 20 cases; diathermy, 17 cases. Other patients were seen in whom operation was either not advised or was refused. Indications for the Arruga string operation w...

Many studies have been conducted for the accuracy of free-form concrete panel fabrication, but there still are errors in process fabrication. This study developed a connection technology detachable shape part that can be applied to existing multi-point Computer Numerical Control (CNC) enhance The type place silicone plate on top rod without additional fixtures. was verified by curvature test an...

BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve repair is often complicated by fibroblastic scar formation, nerve dysfunction, and traumatic neuroma formation. Use of silicone may improve outcomes of these repairs. In this study, we tried to evaluate effectiveness of silicone gel on rats’ sciatic nerve repair, axon regeneration and scar formation around and in the nervous tissues. METHODS This experimental stud...
