INTRODUCTION In this in-vitro study, we aimed to investigate the predictability of the expected amount of stripping using 3 common stripping devices on premolars. METHODS One hundred eighty extracted premolars were mounted and aligned in silicone. Tooth mobility was tested with Periotest (Medizintechnik Gulden, Modautal, Germany) (8.3 ± 2.8 units). The selected methods for interproximal ename...

Two experiments were conducted to compare techniques to maximise the amount of milk harvested mechanically from Poll Dorset ewes. The treatments were double cupping, machine stripping, Sagi hook, a negative control (no extra stripping applied) and a positive control (residual milk withdrawn after injecting 5 IU of oxytocin). In the first experiment it was shown that the amount of milk collected...

Superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) has been used for the treatment of occlusive cerebrovascular disease including moyamoya disease. The effect of STA-MCA bypass depends not only on the patency of anastomosis, but also on integrity and functional capacity of the donor artery. In the present prospective study, we investigated the effect of extensive stripping STA adventi...

OBJECTIVES Saphenous nerve injury is the most common complication after surgical treatment of varicose veins. The aim of this study was to establish its frequency at great saphenous vein long stripping when four methods of surgery were applied. METHODS Eighty patients were divided into four groups depending on different stripping methods. Sensory transmission in saphenous nerve and sensory pe...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the personal or area exposure of organic solvents during paint stripping and paint spraying. Three aircraft paint stripping/spraying workplaces in Taiwan were selected, and the Council of Labor Affairs and NIOSH recommended sampling/analytical methods used in this study. Activated charcoal tubes were used to investigate the personal and area ex...

OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term results of stripping vs. haemodynamic correction (Ambulatory Conservative Haemodynamic Management of Varicose Veins, CHIVA) in the treatment of superficial venous incompetence resulting in chronic venous disease (CVD). DESIGN Randomised comparative trial. PATIENTS 150 patients affected by CVD, CEAP clinical class 2-6, were randomised to saphenous strippin...

Liquid membranes usually consist of an extracting agent (carrier) in an organic solvent which separates "feed" and "stripping" phases containing aqueous solutions of the solute of interest and a stripping agent, respectively. In supported liquid membranes (SLMs) the membrane solution is immobilised into a thin solid microporous support, between the feed and stripping phases where transport is f...

The influence of nanoparticle aggregation on anodic stripping voltammetry is reported. Dopamine-capped silver nanoparticles were chosen as a model system, and melamine was used to induce aggregation in the nanoparticles. Through the anodic stripping of the silver nanoparticles that were aggregated to different extents, it was found that the peak area of the oxidative signal corresponding to the...

INTRODUCTION Orthopaedic fracture fixation plates are applied using metal bone screws. Surgeons do this manually by “feel” without monitoring the torque applied. Few studies have measured the stripping torque of bone screws in human bone [1-3]. No studies have measured stripping torque in the synthetic bones increasingly being used in biomechanical studies. The present aim was to measure stripp...
