ISOBUTYL cyanoacrylate is one of a homologous series of bactericidal liquid monomers which in the presence of small amounts of moisture rapidly polymerize to form a strong adhesive. The cyanoacrylate monomers, especially methyl, have been used in both experimental (Healey, 1962) and clinical surgery (Vasko, 1965) to bind together moist living tissues, for example to seal wounds of the kidney an...

Bleeding from gastric varices is a life-threatening condition. We report our experience with cyanoacrylate injection. Twenty three patients with portal hypertension and gastric varices underwent intra-variceal injection of a cyanoacrylate/lipiodol solution (1:1). Study endpoint was variceal obliteration. Mean follow-up was 25.3 months. Variceal obliteration was achieved in 87% of patients. Recu...

Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common medical emergency. Although endoscopic treatment is effective in controlling non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, in cases of persistent bleeding radiological or surgical interventions are required. Application of cyanoacrylate for treatment of difficult-to-arrest non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding is poorly investigated. We describe pati...

There are a number of studies discussing recent developments of a one-step fluorescent cyanoacrylate process. This study is a pseudo operational trial to compare an example of a one-step fluorescent cyanoacrylate product, Lumicyano™, with the two recommended techniques for plastic carrier bags; cyanoacrylate fuming followed by basic yellow 40 (BY40) dyeing and powder suspensions. 100 plastic ca...

The effect of the external electric field of 105 V/m on the ordering of two luminescent liquid crystalline molecules (1-pentyl-2/,3/-difluoro-3///-methyl-4////-octyl-p-quinguephenyl and 9,10-Bis (4-pentylphenylethynyl)antracene) during thermal vacuum deposition is studied. The morphology, electrical conductivity, optical absorption, luminescence spectra, and polarization are presented and analy...

Over the last decade non-thermal non-tumescent (NTNT) methods of truncal reflux elimination in chronic venous disease (CVD) are becoming increasingly popular. The main NTNT modalities mechanochemical ablation and cyanoacrylate adhesive closure (CAC). advantages avoidance tumescent anesthesia, low periprocedural pain bruising, high patient comfort satisfaction rates. CAC method has an additional...

In the title mol-ecule, C(41)H(64)B(2)O(4), the fluorene unit is essentially planar and the two octyl chains attached to the central C atom inhibit the mol-ecule from engaging in inter-molecular aromatic inter-actions. One of the octyl chains adopts a fully extended conformation, whereas the second incorporates a single gauche conformation. Of the two pinacolatoboronate groups attached at the 2...

Small molecules with dithieno[3,2-b;2',3'-d]thiophene as central building block and octyl cyanoacetate and octyl cyanoacetamide as different terminal building blocks have been designed and synthesized. The amide containing small molecule can form intermolecular hydrogen bonding between N-H...O = C of the amide group. The photovoltaic properties and active layer morphologies of the two molecules...
