Injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate has been used successfully for treatment of gastric variceal bleeding. Bacteremia after injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is well known, however, the method for diagnosis of infected endovascular injected material has remained uncertain. This is the first case reporting use of F-18 FDG PET/CT in detection of the source of infection after control of endosc...

Endoscopic injection of N-Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is a widely accepted treatment for esophagogastric varices. This procedure is commonly associated with minor complications which include transient pyrexia and abdominal discomfort. Serious vascular complications secondary to systemic embolization of cyanoacrylate have rarely been reported. We describe the CT findings of extensive splenic infarctio...

The title compound, C28H33N2S2P, adopts the thione tautomeric form, as supported by the C-S distance [1.6744 (18) Å]. The Schiff base exhibits an E conformation about the C=N bond but a Z conformation about the C-N bond. The terminal chain is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.732 (3):0.268 (3). In the crystal, pairs of N-N-H hydrogen bonds between the thione groups ...

INTRODUCTION: Surgical simulation provides resident physicians the opportunity to improve their operative skills in a safe environment. Placement of Kirschner wires for hand fractures is a deceptively difficult technique which requires significant experience to master. A simulator to aid in visualizing the anatomy would help trainees more rapidly advance their skills. We describe the design, cr...

Phenolic compounds affect intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) signaling. The study examined whether the simple phenolic compound octyl gallate affects ATP-induced Ca(2+) signaling in PC12 cells using fura-2-based digital Ca(2+) imaging and whole-cell patch clamping. Treatment with ATP (100 microM) for 90 s induced increases in [Ca(2+)](i) in PC12 cells. Pretreatment with octyl...

INTRODUCTION This case report describes an esophagojejunal anastomotic leak following total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The leak was treated successfully with endoscopic application of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. This is the first case report on the endoscopic application of cyanoacrylate alone for the treatment of an anastomotic leak. CASE PRESENTATION This report describes a case of a 68-y...

UNLABELLED Objective. To evaluate the usefulness of Dermabond® (octyl-2-cyanoacrylate) tissue adhesive, and to provide advice on its use for patients undergoing preauricular fistulectomy. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective, IRB-approved, case-control study. METHODS This study reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent preauricular fistulectomy by one otologist at a single institutio...

The bonding strength between bone and alpha-2-cyanoacrylate polymers, with or without the addition of powdered hydroxyapatite, was determined. The tensile strength of a bone-cyanoacrylate bond was measured for each polymer: 4.31 +/- 0.88 MPa (methyl-), 5.74 +/- 0.62 MPa (ethyl-), and 8.33 +/- 0.41 MPa (isobutyl-). The tensile strength of the isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate bond increased to 12.03 +/- ...
