This study was conducted to clarify the degree to which a master cast needs to be carved to obtain a posterior palatal seal according to Swenson, based on a comparison among four dental practitioners. Sections of the casts with the seal scraped were made, and an optical microscope was used to measure the sagittal and vertical dimensions. It was found that the sagittal dimension may show a small...

The cobamide coenzymes’ are unstable in the presence of alkaline cyanide. This decomposition by cyanide has been envisaged as a nucleophilic displacement reaction which gives rise to dicyanocobalamin, adenine, and the cyanohydrins of 2,3dihydroxy-A4-pentenal (1, 2). In the case of the simple alkylcobalamins, cyanide decomposition proceeds very slowly or not at all, presumably because the alkyl ...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to review the authors' 25-year experience with redo pull-through procedures for Hirschsprung's disease including surgical technique and long-term outcome. METHODS From 1974 to now, over 325 patients with Hirschsprung's disease have been treated at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. This includes 30 patients referred after an unsuccessful pull-throu...

PURPOSE The authors describe a modified technique of primary transanal rectosigmoidectomy for Hirschsprung's disease (HD), using a Swenson like procedure to perform the anastomosis between the colon and the rectum, and the preliminary results from this in children. METHODS Twenty children, of whom, 90% were boys and 10% girls, 50% white and 50% nonwhite, aged 15 days to 10 years and with HD p...

The integration of digital tools and multimodal representations in the English classroom has the greatest potential when we define literacy as multiple socially constructed practices. If digital literacies are defined as autonomous tools and isolated symbolic systems, reduced to a set of skills and forms for students to reproduce, then school literacy practices will become further distanced fro...

Each of the basic operative methods for Hirschsprung's disease (the rectosigmoidectomy developed by Swenson, the retrorectal transanal approach developed by Duhamel, and the endorectal procedure developed by Soave and modified by Denda and Boley) can give good results. A protective colostomy should be routine. If only an occasional case is prevented from progressing to incontinence or septicemi...
