The Suture Tab Technique

The Pull-Tab Transformation

We present a new approach to the execution of functional logic programs. Our approach relies on definitional trees for the deterministic portions of a computation and on a graph transformation, called pull-tab, for the non-deterministic portions. This transformation moves, one level at a time, non-deterministic choices towards the root of the graph representing the state of a computation. With ...

Prospective randomised trial comparing traditional suture technique with the dynamic sliding loop suture technique in the closure of skin lacerations.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the cosmetic appearance and related complications of selected skin lacerations closed by traditional suture technique with that of the dynamic sliding loop suture technique. DESIGN Prospective, randomised clinical trial. SETTING A district general hospital. PARTICIPANTS Thirty seven eligible patients aged between 16 and 60 years with skin lac...

New adjustable suture technique for trabeculectomy.

PURPOSE To describe an adjustable suture (AS) experimental model that allows for tightening, loosening and retightening of the suture tension in trabeculectomy. METHODS Standard trabeculectomy was performed in fifteen pig eyeballs. All pig eyes were tested twice: one test with conventional suture in both flap's corners (conventional suture group) and another test with a conventional suture at...
