Double Layer Continuous Intradermal Sutures in Keloid Operation

Use of Barbed Sutures in Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Single-Layer Sutures

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic anastomotic methods are not commonly used because of the cumbersome laparoscopic intracorporeal sutures and tying involved. The barbed suture is one of the various devices developed to simplify the placement of intracorporeal sutures. However, barbed sutures are not commonly used during reconstruction after radical gastrectomy in cancer patients or for sin...

MobileSocket: Session Layer Continuous Operation Support for Java Applications

This paper proposes the session layer communication continuity support for Java applications toward a continuous operation for the users. In a mobile computing environment, mobile hosts move around the di erent network segments even during applications communicate with the remote endpoint. In such a situation, maintenance of the communication continuity between the applications is signi cant. I...

Barbed versus conventional 2-layer continuous running sutures for laparoscopic vaginal cuff closure

We compared results using unidirectional barbed sutures and conventional sutures for vaginal cuff closure during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).The electronic medical records and surgical videos of 170 patients who underwent TLH between January 2013 and March 2015 at Uijeong-bu St. Mary's Hospital of Catholic University of Korea were reviewed. Vaginal cuffs were closed using the 2-layer ...

Double diffusive reaction-convection in viscous fluid layer

In the present study, the onset of double diffusive reaction-convection in a uid layer with viscous fluid, heated and salted from below subject to chemical equilibrium on the boundaries, has been investigated. Linear and nonlinear stability analysis have been performed. For linear analysis normal mode technique is used and for nonlinear analysis minimal representation of truncated Fourier serie...
