OBJECTIVE: To determine and compare the fixation strength of conjunctival pedicle flaps to cornea achieved via conventional ophthalmic suture and three different adhesive compounds. ANIMALS STUDIED: Ex vivo porcine globes. PROCEDURES: Following a 6 mm wide 500-micron-restricted depth lamellar keratectomy, conjunctival pedicle flaps were secured to the keratectomy site with either 8-0 VICRYL® suture or one of three adhesive products, including Tisseel® bioadhesive, ReSure® synthetic adhesive, or ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive (n = 10 per surgical group)...

Given the importance of information on intrauterine development in diagnosing anomalies in the gestational development of the species for the development of assisted reproduction technologies as well as understanding the autonomy and responsiveness of the newborn, the aim of the present study was to describe the external morphology of collared peccary conceptuses. For this study, two conceptuses were used per gestational age of 25-120 days post-copulation (dpc) and neonates with 145 dpc, totalling 22 animals...

BACKGROUND: Medical students' transition to internship has a discernible gap in structured preparation, particularly in practical skill application. We introduced the internship preparatory clinical course (IPCC) to address this gap.  Methods: The course was conducted at the clinical skills and simulation center at King Saud University Medical City and included a total of eight skills distributed across four stations. It employs a timed-station methodology, inspired by the Observed Structured Clinical Examination, but innovatively adapted as a teaching method...

BACKGROUND: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is a predominant technique for autologous breast reconstruction. However, the best method of abdominal fascial closure in this technique is not well defined. This study details our initial experience with unidirectional barbed suture-only repair of abdominal donor site fascia. METHODS: Patients who underwent DIEP flap breast reconstruction and abdominal fascial closure with Stratafix Symmetric Polydioxanone PDS Plus were retrospectively reviewed...

We report the case of a 9-year-old male with severe congenital pulmonary valve stenosis referred to our centre for percutaneous valvotomy. On admission, trans-thoracic echocardiogram confirmed a unicuspid pulmonary valve with a peak/mean pulmonary valve gradient of 91/53 mmHg and a pulmonary annulus of 13.8 mm (-0.8 Z Score). It also showed an enlarged RV (RV/LV ratio 0,9). During cardiac catheterisation, an additional atrial septal defect (secundum) with significant left to right shunt (Qp/Qs > 2) was diagnosed, which was not amenable to percutaneous closure...

BACKGROUND: Both inlay and onlay arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (ABT) are common procedures performed during rotator cuff repair. The inlay method involves creating a bone socket in the bicipital groove to secure the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) using an interference screw. The onlay method utilizes a suture anchor to secure the LHBT on the surface of the bicipital groove. Little is known on the long-term differences in patient reported outcomes (PROs) between these two techniques...

PURPOSE: To develop a new, sutureless intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation technique based on the Yamane double-needle and Canabrava 4-flanged techniques. METHODS: The Fusion-Flanged technique involves using a 7-0 polypropylene suture loop threaded through the eyelets of the IOL. Afterward, both ends of the suture are passed outside the eye through a 27-gauge needle. This technique creates a single flange by joining the 2 suture ends through handheld cautery, and this flange is then embedded into the scleral tunnel to securely fix the IOL in place...

PURPOSE: Efficient and precise surgical skills are essential in ensuring positive patient outcomes. By continuously providing real-time, data driven, and objective evaluation of surgical performance, automated skill assessment has the potential to greatly improve surgical skill training. Whereas machine learning-based surgical skill assessment is gaining traction for minimally invasive techniques, this cannot be said for open surgery skills. Open surgery generally has more degrees of freedom when compared to minimally invasive surgery, making it more difficult to interpret...

Biomaterial scaffolds have been used successfully to promote the regenerative repair of small endometrial lesions in small rodents, providing partial restoration of gestational function. The use of rabbits in this study allowed us to investigate a larger endometrial tissue defect and myometrial-injury model. A gelatin/polycaprolactone (GT/PCL) gradient-layer biofilm was sutured at the defect to guide the reconstruction of the original tissue structure. 28 days post-implantation, the uterine cavity had been restored its original morphology; endometrial growth was accompanied by the formation of glands and blood vessels, and the fragmented myofibers of the uterine smooth muscle had begun to resemble the normal structure of the lagomorph uterine cavity, arranging in a circular luminal pattern and a longitudinal serosal pattern...

BACKGROUND: Reversal of ileostomy is associated with morbidity including wound infection and prolonged wound healing. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been shown to reduce time to wound healing by secondary intention. The aim of this study was to determine whether NPWT improved wound healing rates, compared with simple wound dressings, in patients undergoing reversal of ileostomy where the skin wound is closed with a purse-string suture. METHODS: This was a dual-centre, open-label, randomized controlled trial with two parallel intervention arms...

BACKGROUND: Arthrofibrosis is a joint disorder characterized by excessive scar formation in the joint tissues. Vitamin E is an antioxidant with potential anti-fibroblastic effect. The aim of this study was to establish an arthrofibrosis rat model after joint replacement and assess the effects of vitamin E supplementation on joint fibrosis. METHODS: We simulated knee replacement in 16 male Sprague-Dawley rats. We immobilized the surgical leg with a suture in full flexion...

It is unclear what caused the Bangong Nujiang suture zone in the central Tibetan plateau to rise from less than 2 km in early Cenozoic to more than 4 km at present. The zircon U-Pb ages and trace elements of samples from the Niubao Formation in the Paleogene of the Nima basin were analyzed and tested. Combined with the isostasy theory, the surface uplift height of the Nima Basin during the Cenozoic period was calculated. The zircon U-Pb age results of the Niubao formation are consistent with the ages of the Lhasa terrane on the south side of the basin, the Qiangtang terrane on the north side, and the uplift in central...

Although the usefulness of thoracoscopic surgery under local anesthesia for pneumothorax has been reported, there are some cases of failure. Therefore, it is important to share the various techniques and potential challenges associated with procedures performed under local anesthesia. A 79-year-old male, under monitoring for a left chronic pneumothorax, was newly diagnosed with a right pneumothorax. Chest computed tomography taken after thoracic drainage showed a poorly expanded right lung with severe adhesions and multiple bullae in the right lung, in addition to identifying a left pneumothorax...

Tibial tubercle avulsion fractures, though rare, pose a significant challenge in pediatric orthopedics, particularly in athletic adolescents. For nondisplaced fractures, conservative treatment involves the use of braces or casts, while displaced fractures necessitate operative intervention, often through screw fixation. Concomitant soft tissue injuries should also be identified and addressed operatively to ensure complete repair of the extensor mechanism. This paper introduces a method for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of tibial tubercle fractures with suture anchor repair of the distal patellar tendon avulsion...
