The objective was to verify the association between time needed for room cleaning (TLPS) and the surgery size, and related advantages and difficulties faced by the circulator of the room asszgned to this task. A mixed method, with a transverse quantitative, retrospective approach, using a sample of 3095 surgeries performed,from January to June 2011, and a qualitative approach using a Thematic C...

OBJECTIVE To introduce and evaluate the safety of a novel dual-sided electrosurgery handpiece design for simultaneous tissue cutting and coagulation. METHODS We designed a prototype double-sided handpiece allowing automatic switching between two electrodes with a simple handpiece flip. The concept of the system as a surgical instrument was assessed by an animal experiment. RESULTS The skin ...

When reprocessing surgical instruments, process design is significant, in particular the choice of relevant process parameters for the effective removal of blood, the most common soil present. Cleaning performance is highly dependent, among other factors, on the alkalinity of the cleaning solution at appropriate temperatures to ensure that relevant specifications are fully complied with on site...

Inhibition is a cognitive ability that allows humans to respond flexibly rather than reflexively to events. The purpose of this investigation is to elucidate the neural basis of inhibition in healthy humans. Combining magnetoencephalography and functional MRI, two unqiue brain imaging instruments, allows both key brain regions and the timing of neuronal processes involved with inhibition to be ...

Introduction. Considering rights of patients and presence of a need for a standard clinical skills learning setting in recent 3 decades, it seems necessary to encourage decision – makers of medical education to establish clinical skills laboratory, in order to minimize unnecessary practices and possible injuries and reduce stress over students. CLS in TUMS was established in 2001. In planning...

Pelvic bone tumor resection is challenging due to complex geometry, limited visibility, and restricted workspace. Accurate resection including a safe margin is required to decrease the risk of local recurrence. This clinical study reports 11 cases of pelvic bone tumor resected by using patient-specific instruments. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to delineate the tumor and computerized tomo...

Objective: Pain is one of the most important outcomes in RA. Therefore, as objective as possible assessment of pain is necessary for reliable clinical evaluation and effective treatment planning. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate three pain measures in the sample of 151 newly-diagnosed RA-patients. More specifically, this study evaluates the construct validity of pain instruments...

Cities can play a key role in mitigating climate change impacts, as they represent two thirds of the world’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper presents a model-based approach to support cities in the challenge of including energy issues in early stage urban planning. Recognizing that successful planning must rely on highly integrated solutions, this paper aims, through...

John Maxwell Fairley was a prolific collector and amassed quite a collection of old dental instruments, obtained mainly from the North East of Scotland. John qualified LDS in 1941 and a year later graduated BDS from St Andrews University. He was a member of the Lindsay Society in 1985 and on the committee from 1988 until 1990. One of his contributions to dental history was a comprehensive accou...
