A SIMPLE METHOD BY WHICH AN OPEN SAFETY-PIN WAS REMOVED FROM THE BRONCHUS WITHOUT CLOSING THE PIN

The Half - Pin and the Pin Tract :

A lthough the key principles of external fixation have changed little over the years, there remains a significant amount of variation in fixation methods and postoperative care. In particular, use and management of halfpins intended for prolonged reconstruction are the subject of strong opinions and intense debate. Half-pins are commonly available in stainless steel and titanium. They are also ...

Open Safety Pin Ingestion Presenting as Incarcerated Umbilical Hernia

Foreign body ingestion is common in children. Sharp foreign bodies are potentially harmful and can result various complications. An 8-month-old infant presented with incarcerated umbilical hernia. With a suspicion of strangulation, operation was performed that revealed a loop of ileum being stuck in the umbilical defect. The loop of ileum was freed from the umbilicus which demonstrated open end...

At ? i'-M. I administered half an ounce of isaphagul seeds well soaked in water. The next morning he passed a Ftool mainly composed of round masses the size of & small lime with some ...

Pin-Collinear Body-and-Pin Frameworks and the Molecular Conjecture

T-S. Tay and W. Whiteley independently characterized the multigraphs which can be realized as an infinitesimally rigid d-dimensional body-and-hinge framework. In 1984 they jointly conjectured that each graph in this family can be realized as an infinitesimally rigid framework with the additional property that the hinges incident to each body lie in a common hyperplane. This conjecture has becom...
