OBJECTIVES Saphenous nerve injury is the most common complication after surgical treatment of varicose veins. The aim of this study was to establish its frequency at great saphenous vein long stripping when four methods of surgery were applied. METHODS Eighty patients were divided into four groups depending on different stripping methods. Sensory transmission in saphenous nerve and sensory pe...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the personal or area exposure of organic solvents during paint stripping and paint spraying. Three aircraft paint stripping/spraying workplaces in Taiwan were selected, and the Council of Labor Affairs and NIOSH recommended sampling/analytical methods used in this study. Activated charcoal tubes were used to investigate the personal and area ex...

We investigated the preparation of CMB (cobalt-manganese-bromide) and CMA (cobaltmanganese-acetate) liquid catalysts as petroleum liquid catalysts by simultaneously recovering Co and Mn from spent Li-ion battery cathode material. To prepare the liquid catalysts, the total preparation process for the liquid catalysts consisted of physical pre-treatments, such as grinding and sieving, and chemica...

OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term results of stripping vs. haemodynamic correction (Ambulatory Conservative Haemodynamic Management of Varicose Veins, CHIVA) in the treatment of superficial venous incompetence resulting in chronic venous disease (CVD). DESIGN Randomised comparative trial. PATIENTS 150 patients affected by CVD, CEAP clinical class 2-6, were randomised to saphenous strippin...

The influence of nanoparticle aggregation on anodic stripping voltammetry is reported. Dopamine-capped silver nanoparticles were chosen as a model system, and melamine was used to induce aggregation in the nanoparticles. Through the anodic stripping of the silver nanoparticles that were aggregated to different extents, it was found that the peak area of the oxidative signal corresponding to the...

INTRODUCTION Orthopaedic fracture fixation plates are applied using metal bone screws. Surgeons do this manually by “feel” without monitoring the torque applied. Few studies have measured the stripping torque of bone screws in human bone [1-3]. No studies have measured stripping torque in the synthetic bones increasingly being used in biomechanical studies. The present aim was to measure stripp...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this randomized study was to compare the efficacy of the CHIVA method for the treatment of varicose veins with respect to the standard treatment of stripping. CONTEXT Varicose veins are a sign of chronic venous disorder. For over a century, varicose veins have been treated with surgical ablative techniques, with stripping being the standard treatment. Currently, pos...
