BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular treatment of wide neck aneurysms often results in incomplete occlusion or aneurysm recurrence. The two goals of the present study were to compare results of coil embolization with or without the assistance of an aneurysm neck bridge device (ANBD) and to explore the use of this instrument to control cyanoacrylate embolization. METHODS Wide necked bifurcation...

BACKGROUND Poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) (PACA) nanoparticles have shown promise as drug carriers both to solid tumors and across the blood-brain barrier. Efficient drug delivery requires both high cellular uptake of the nanoparticles and release of the drug from the nanoparticles. Release of hydrophobic drugs from PACA nanoparticles is primarily governed by nanoparticle degradation, and this proce...

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a safe and effective procedure for patients with achalasia [1]. Mucosal perforation is an inadvertent complication that is difficult or impossible to treat with standard clips [2]. Over-the-scope clips, endoluminal suturing devices, and fully covered stents have been used successfully [3,4]. Cyanoacrylate is used as a sealant because of its rapid solidificat...

DEAR EDITOR Cyanoacrylates (CAs) were first described in 1949 and their potential as adhesives were quickly recognised.1 Various homologues of CA adhesive have been studied and used, including methyl-, ethyl-, isobutyl-, isohexyl-, and octyl-CA.1 Commercial CA now has widespread use as an all purpose adhesive in various industries, however the main application of CA is as adhesives domestically...

Many lectins require a Ca2+ ion as structure directing co-factor to function carbohydrate binders. Such are implicated in various important biological processes such inflammation and infection, yet simple strategy mimic their is lacking. Herein, very dipyridyl ligand (6) reported that can organize around Pd2+ form the ring-like complexes [PdCl26] [Pd62]2+. In CD2Cl2 with 5 % dmso-d6, 6 does not...

This prospective, in vivo study compared bond failure and enamel decalcification with a cyanoacrylate bracket bonding system (SmartBond, Gestenco International, Gothenburg, Sweden) and a traditional light-cured composite system (Light Bond, Reliance Orthodontic Products, Itasca, Ill). A total of 327 teeth were evaluated after a period of 12 to 14 months; 163 experimental teeth were bonded with ...

Abstract Background We aim to evaluate isoamyl 2-cyanoacrylate as an intervening layer in the surgical repair of urethra-cutaneous fistula (UCF) after hypospadias comparison with classic technique. Methods Between January 2017 and July 2018, 40 patients UCF were randomized into two equal groups. Group I represented a multilayered closure dartos fascia flap while using cyanoacrylate glue interpo...

This paper describes the application of Raman spectroscopy to the detection of exogenous substances in cyanoacrylate-fumed fingerprints. The scenario considered was that of an individual handling a substance and subsequently depositing a contaminated fingerprint. These fingerprints were enhanced by cyanoacrylate fuming, a process in which a layer of white cyanoacrylate polymer is deposited on t...
