Intra-urethral vaginal tape is a rare complication of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure. A 41year-old woman with intra-urethral vaginal tape after TVT procedure is presented. The presenting symptoms were urge incontinence and dysparonia. The patient has received anticholinergic drugs and vaginal estrogen, but the symptoms had not been resolved with both this regimen. The diagnosis was m...

Abstract Tensile tests were carried out on three series of composite samples according to the ASTM (American Society for testing and Materials). The materials tested characterised by using same manufacturing method. specimens hand-laminated MGS L285/H285 epoxy resin. feature that differentiates structure each laminate is type reinforcement. A biaxial fabric IMS65 CtLX with a 0/90 arrangement wa...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of tape, with and without prewrap, on dynamic ankle inversion before and after exercise. DESIGN AND SETTING Doubly multivariate analyses of variance were used to compare the taping and exercise conditions. Subjects were randomly assigned to a fixed treatment order as determined by a balanced latin square. The independent variables were tape application (no tap...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of various eye protection measures during carbon dioxide laser laryngoscopy. DESIGN A standard medical mannequin was equipped with indicator paper over the eyes and subjected to multiple passes of direct carbon dioxide laser beam contact at 400-mm focal length with powers ranging from 2.5 to 4.0 W during simulated laser microlaryngoscopy. Several different ...

The mechanics of the "tape" over a flat-head is investigated. It has been recently shown that a thin, flexible tape, traveling over a flat recording head under tension contacts the head over the central area of the head. This phenomenon is due to the selfacting, subambient foil bearing effect. In this paper, as a first order of approximation, a simplified system is analyzed; where a uniform sub...

This study reports the first experimental exploration of possible contagious yawning in monkeys. Twenty-two stumptail macaques (Macaca arctoides) were presented with video clips of either yawns or control mouth movements by conspecifics. At a group level, monkeys yawned significantly more often during and just after the yawn tape than the control tape. Supplementary analysis revealed that the y...
