Cylindrical specimens of bone measuring 15 mm in diameter were obtained from the lateral cortical layer of 10 pairs of femurs and tibias. A central hole 3.2 mm in diameter was drilled in each specimen. The hole was tapped, and a 4.5 mm cortical bone screw was inserted from the outer surface. The montage was submitted to push-out testing up to a complete strip of the bone threads. The cortical t...

purpose : to determine the efficacy of fibrin glue in corneal perforations up to 3 mm in diameter methods : a case series study was performed on corneal perforations up to 3 mm who were admitted at farabi hospital- tehran. age, visual acuity, presence and size of corneal thinning, corneal epithelial defect, size and depth of corneal infiltration, site and size of corneal perforation, corneal va...

Background: Autogenous osteochondral grafting of articular defect in weight-bearing surface of large joints has proven to be a proper biomechanical and physiological solution for localized full-thickness defects.Objective: To study the gross and histopathological results of mosaicplasty in an animal model (sheep’s medial femoral condyle), evaluating the factors of defect and graft size, assessi...

The work is devoted to experimental determination of the diameter and the depth of simulated subsurface defects in steel using pulse thermography (PT). The simulated defects had a form of flat-bottom holes of diameter 1.0-5.0 mm and depth 0.3–1.5 mm. The defect diameter has been reconstructed on the basic of analysis of the rate of temperature decrease on the surface of tested specimen after it...
