The Langmuir-Blodgett (L-B) technique is used to coat electrode surfaces with bifunctional monolayer films that are designed to carry out two functions: passivation and gating. We demonstrate that incorporation of ubiquinone (Q50) in otherwise passivating L-B monolayer films allows us to control access to the electrode surface via a controlled number of single molecule gate sites. The electrode...

SUMMARY Craniofacial clefts involve all soft tissue and skeletal elements throughout the cleft. Usefulness of tissue expansion in craniofacial clefts is reported. Surgery for a complex type of facial clefts is more difficult and more extensive than for a simple one. We experienced a primary case of complex facial clefts (Tessier No. 2 and 12 on the right and 3, 11, and 5 on the left). Soft-tiss...

Abstract Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is not a commonly seen birth defect; however, it may have the potential to be severe and life-threatening requiring adequate attention. We present case of amniotic which encircled head neonate tightly causing deformity. In this report, bilateral Tessier 7 cleft. To our knowledge, most type ABS reported in literature thus far. Level evidence: V, risk / thera...
