POPULARIZING POOR MAN’S STERI-STRIP - WASH PROOF BAND-AID

Mesentery-like steri-strip: a scarless drain fixation.

Dear Editors, Recently in your journal an interesting trick in steri-strips application was suggested by D’Ettorre et al. (1), we would like to draw the readers’ attention to a further potential use of this common dressing. In fact, suction drains are usually secured by looping suture material around the drain in the form of a ‘Roman garter’. However, the knot is prone to loosening, which allow...

Comparison of Steri Strip VS Suture Closure of Facial Lacerations

Aim: To compare mean per operative pain and mean operative time of steri strip vs suture closure of facial lacerations. Methods: A total of 190 children of either sex between 05-12 years of age with laceration less than 12 hours old and Laceration less than 3cm in length were included in the study from Trauma Centre Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi during 2014 while the children with lacer...

Modified U-Slot Stacked Micro-Strip Patch Antenna for Ultra-Wideband Applications in S Band, C Band and X Band

The U-slot micro-strip patch antennas were originally developed for bandwidth broadening applications. This study presents a transmission line feed to modify the U-slot stacked rectangular micro-strip patch antenna for Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) communications. The modified antenna has a U-cut loaded with parallel slits and corner slots and is printed on a dielectric substrate of FR4 with relative p...

STRIP: Structural Sharing for Efficient Proof-Search

The STRIP system is a theorem prover for intuitionistic propositional logic with two main characteristics: it deals with the duplication of formulae during proof-search from a fine and explicit management of formulae (as resources) based on a structural sharing and it builds, for a given formula, either a proof or a countermodel.
