A 31-year-old man working as process operator in the manufacture of polyurethane adhesives was referred to the Department of Occupational and Environmental Dermatology in Malmö (DOED) with suspected allergic contact dermatitis caused by isocyanates. His main work task was to monitor the manufacturing process, which he did from a separate control room. Three months prior to the visit, he changed...

Spillage of gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not a rare event. We present a patient with spilled calculi causing an incarcerated hernia.

PURPOSE We undertook this study to determine (1) the frequency with which spilled tumor cells of favorable histology produced intra-abdominal disease in patients treated with differing chemotherapy regimens and abdominal radiation therapy (RT) and (2) the patterns of relapse and outcomes in such patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS The influence of RT dose (0, 10, and 20 Gy), RT fields (flank, who...

Spillage of scoleces is a major problem in surgery of hydatid cysts, because each of them may develop into a new cyst if it settles on a suitable site such as the peritoneum. Many surgeons believe that scoleces in ruptured hydatid cysts of the liver containing bile are not able to develop new cysts, because bile kills thein. In order to prove this idea, the viability of scoleces in such cys...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate single-port assisted extracorporeal cystectomy for treatment of large ovarian cysts and to compare its surgical outcomes, complications, and cystic content spillage rates with those of conventional laparoscopy and laparotomy. DESIGN Retrospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING University teaching hospital. PATIENTS Twenty-five patients...

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a common procedure is not without complications, and bile spillage can cause surgical site infection (SSI). There no local evidence in our hospital setting.
 Objective: The objective of this study was to find the prevalence among non-spillage patients following laparoscopic cholecystectomy at BMCTH
 Methodology: A hospital-based cross-sectio...

monolithic aerogels of high molecular weight polyethylene (mw= 3x106- 6x106 g/mol) have been prepared by solvent extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide from thermoreversible gels prepared in decalin. these low density and highly porous aerogels present an apparent porosity up to 90%. the aerogel morphology observed by scanning electron microscopy (sem) is characterized by spherulitic stru...

Abstract Crude oil frequently contains stable radicals that allow detection by means of EPR spectroscopy. On the other hand, most sands and soils possess significant amounts iron, manganese or metallic species often provide excessively broad signatures combined with well-defined sharp features quartz defects. In this study, we demonstrate feasibility to identify contamination in natural environ...

SUMMARY An experiment designed to measure the external drag of fuselage side intakes is described. The scope of the experiment and the techniques employed are discussed and an assessment is made of the accuracy of results. Measurements of the external drag of rectangular intakes installed on the sides of a fuselage are presented. Results at subsonic speeds show that drag at full flow is indepen...
