For any graph G, the Equi-eccentric point set graph Gee is defined on the same set of vertices by joining two vertices in Gee if and only if they correspond to two vertices of G with equal eccentricities. The Glue graph Gg is defined on the same set of vertices by joining two vertices in Gg if and only if they correspond to two adjacent vertices of G or two adjacent vertices of Gee. In this pap...

Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of adhesive glue in repairing first degree perineal tears. We conducted a noninferiority prospective, randomized, controlled trial comparing adhesive glue with traditional suturing. Each case was evaluated immediately after birth and after the puerperium. The two-sample t-test and the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test were applied to compare quantit...

OBJECTIVES In this study, we determined whether fibrin glue improves cell transplant retention and survival, reduces infarct expansion, and induces neovasculature formation. BACKGROUND Current efforts in restoring the myocardium after myocardial infarction (MI) include the delivery of viable cells to replace necrotic cardiomyocytes. Cellular transplantation techniques are, however, limited by...

BACKGROUND In surgical and endoscopic procedures, tissue adhesives are commonly used as reinforcement of sutures or as bonding and hemostatic agents. Fibrin glues do not guarantee adequate properties for many clinical applications; on the contrary, cyanoacrylate glues guarantee high bonding strength between biologic tissues. The aim of this study was to provide evidence regarding adhesive and s...

An integrated solution is presented for the execution of building structures using timber-concrete composite (TCC) sections that make efficient use mechanical properties both materials. The system integrates flooring and shaped prefabricated beams composed a lower flange glued laminated timber (GLT) to one or more plywood veneer lumber (LVL) ribs linked an upper concrete slab poured in situ. pa...

Reports on foreign bodies within the ureter are extremely rare in the literature. Herein, we present a case of a foreign body in a ureter, specifically a particle of glue resulting from transarterial embolization of a renal pseudoaneurysm secondary to percutaneous nephrostomy. Emergent transarterial embolization was required due to life-threatening active bleeding of the pseudoaneurysm. However...

Four case histories of a representative sample of young adult glue sniffers who had progressed to using illicit drugs or abusing alcohol or both contained several common factors that may have been relevant in the transition. For example, all had suffered parental deprivation or rejection in childhood leading to a state of chronic stress, and all had progressed from sniffing glue to inhaling her...

PURPOSE To evaluate whether fibrin glue causes less postoperative pain, discomfort and work inaptitude in conjunctival closure following 20 gauge pars plana vitrectomy than sutures. DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS A questionnaire was sent in 2006 to 506 patients who underwent 20 gauge pars plana vitrectomy in 2004 at the University Hospital, Leuven, Belgium. Patients were asked about th...
