Modern orthopedic surgery can improve the musculoskeletal problems of people with hemophilia. The most commonly affected joints are the knees, the ankles and the elbows. The most common orthopedic procedures that PWH undergo are the following: RS, arthroscopic synovectomy, arthroscopic joint debridement, ankle arthrodesis, total joint arthroplasty and removal of pseudotumors. Every surgical pro...

Current advances in timber engineering with the use of at longer spans necessitate high performance joints. Glued-in rods exhibit axial load capacity and stiffness are suitable for such applications. FRP can increase their durability fire but ways to produce progressive failure mechanisms necessary enhance resilience. In this study CFRP GFRP glued block laminated epoxy investigated under both m...

background: glues are strong, liquid adhesive derived from animal tissues. it has been shown that glue sniffing is associated with demyelinating polyneuropathy. the low molecular weight agents which cause occupational lung disease have generally included the isocyanates exposure to which could result in asthma among workers. toluene is also used widely in glue and adhesive industry and househol...

PURPOSE To assess the effect of cyanoacrylate glue on knot slippage and strength in vitro. METHODS Ethibond 3/0 was tested using a tensile tester. A single drop of cyanoacrylate glue was applied to the knots. Seven knot configurations (10 samples each) were tested: (1) a surgeon's knot (S) plus 4 square throws (+4) without glue (control group), (2) S plus one square throw (+1) without glue, (...

Tests were conducted to compare the performance characteristics of school chairs constructed with pinned but unglued round mortise and tenon joints with those of chairs with glued but unpinned joints. Chairs with 0.125-inch cross pins in 0.723-inch diameter tenons developed over 90 percent of the strength of the chairs with glued tenons, whereas chairs with 0.313-inch diameter pins developed on...

Surgical glues have been used in pediatric surgery because of the fragility of tissue, and to prevent major surgeries. The present report describes our experience with using a new cya-noacrylate Glubran 2 (Viareggio, Italy) in the treatment of five cases of tracheoesophageal atresia with fistula (one fistula protection, three recurrent fistula, and one unstable patients), two cases of hypospadi...
