Fabrication of the strain-gated inverter (SGI) The SGI was fabricated by bonding two ZnO NWs laterally on a Dura-Lar film. The thickness of the Dura-Lar film is 0.5 mm. The ZnO NWs were synthesized via a physical vapor deposition method reported elsewhere [32] and typically have diameters of 300 nm and lengths of 400 μm (Fig. 1a). The films were first cleaned with acetone, isopropyl alcohol and...

In vivo insertion experiments are essential to optimize novel neural implants. Our work focuses on the interaction between intact dura mater of rats and as-fabricated single-shaft silicon microprobes realized by deep reactive ion etching. Implantation parameters like penetration force and dimpling through intact dura mater were studied as a function of insertion speed, microprobe cross-section,...

Polysaccharide from Dura mater By Yoshiharu Saito and Koh-Iti Turumi (齋 藤 義 治) (鶴 見 膠 一) From the Department of Biochemistry, Fukushima Medical College, Fukushima (Received for publication, October 10, 1954) Chemical studies of dura mater has not as yet been accomplished. Histologicaly dura mater is composed of connective tissue. We examined the tissue histochemically by periodic acid oxidation...

Between 1970 and 2003, seven cases of human dura mater-associated Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) were identified in the UK. Furthermore, we identified a case of CJD in a porcine dura graft recipient. The mean incubation period of the human dura mater cases was 93 (range 45-177) months. The clinico-pathological features of the cases are described and compared with cases previously reported in t...

PURPOSE Grinding with less stress on 3Y-TZP through proper selection of methods and instruments can lead to a long-term success of prosthesis. The purpose of this study was to compare the phase transformation and physical properties after zirconia surface grinding with 3 different grinding burs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty disc-shaped zirconia specimens were fabricated. Each Ten specimens wer...

The outermost layer is the dura mater. The middle layer is the arachnoid mater. The inner layer is the pia mater. The epidural space is the space between the vertebral column and the dura mater. There is only a 'potential' epidural space in the skull. The subdural space is the space between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater. The subarachnoid space is the space between the arachnoid mater a...

We introduce a 15 cm, 26-gauge spinal needle (Steriseal Ltd, Redditch) through a standard Tuohy needle (9·6 cm, 16-gauge) which has its tip in the epidural space. Once the dura has been punctured the spinal needle is only really held in place by the dura. It is therefore quite difficult to attach the syringe of local anaesthetic and then inject without inadvertently placing the tip of the spina...
