The aim of this study was to determine the selectivity of monofilament gillnets with different mesh size for silver crucian carp in Eğirdir Lake. In this study, it was investigated that the selectivity of monofilament gillnets with nominal mesh size (stretched) with 32, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 mm and trammel nets with 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 mm for catching of silver crucian carp.

Plantar ulceration is a significant problem in leprosy patients and accounts for a large proportion of hospital admissions. Three methods of sensory testing were employed to see if a high-risk group of people with loss of protective sensation might be selected, so that the serious first ulcer might be prevented . Three groups of patients were studied : 4 1 leprosy patients with ulcers, 4 1 with...

A preliminary study into the use of Vicryl in cataract and squint surgery has already been published (Munton, Phillips, Martin, Bartholomew, and Capperauld, I974). The safety and efficacy of the material were confirmned and it was concluded that the overall handling characteristics of monofilament Vicryl 8-o (dyed purple) were superior to monofilament nylon and equal to virgin silk. The sutures...

BACKGROUND Long-term exposure to hand-held vibrating tools may cause the hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) including vibration induced white fingers and sensorineural symptoms. The aim was to study early neurosensory effects by quantitative vibrotactile and monofilament tests in young workers with hand-held vibration exposure. METHODS This cross-sectional study consisted of 142 young, male m...

G rowing interest has been given to the contamination of commonly used instruments in the physical exam (1,2). We are unaware of such scrutiny being given to the 10-g monofila-ment. The 10-g monofilament is a common screening test used to identify patients with loss of protective sensation and is part of recommended practice for the comprehensive foot exam for patients with diabetes (3). The in...

Five dogs, 10 weeks old, underwent operation using ketamin-HCl anesthesia and end-to-end anastomoses of the femoral and brachial arteries were made using polyfilament nonabsorbable material (Ethibond), monofilament nonabsorbable material (Prolene), polyfilament absorbable material (Vicryl) and monofilament absorbable material (PDS). The arterial diameter using a micrometer and blood flow using ...
