Objectives-To evaluate the clinical safety and feasibility of  one layer suture pattern technique in gastrojejunostomy in dog in comparison to two layer suture pattern technique. Study Design-Elective experimental study Animals-Sixteen mix-breed healthy male and female dogs Methods-Sixteen healthy male and female dogs were randomly divided in two groups. In the control group the two layer...

Deformation pattern of the northeastern part of the Iranian-Arabian collision zone (i.e., mainly Sanandaj-Sirjan Belt or Zone) is the main concern of this paper. Here, we investigate the stress distribution and displacement pattern of Eghlid-Deh Bid area as affected by the position of Zagros suture using a three dimensional mechanical model. The modeled area is located between the Zagros Thrust...

Case Description- A six-month-old Doberman Pinscher male with sever laceration in the mucosa of the lip, nose and nostrils as well as the shoulder area was referred to Veterinary Hospital of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. Clinical Findings- The animal showed anorexia, depression, and sialorrhea. There was also a deep laceration over the right should...

Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) is the treatment of choice to adult patients even with severe transversal maxillary discrepancies. However, the adequate retention period to achieve the bone remodeling, thus assuring treatment stability, is controversial.Objective To evaluate the opening pattern and bone neoformation process at the midpalatal suture in patients submitted to...

Dear Editor: I recently read with interest the article titled “Biomechanical Comparison of Parallel and Crossed Suture Repair for Longitudinal Meniscus Tears” by Milchteim et al published in the April 2016 issue of the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine (OJSM). The article is great and adds a lot to the current available knowledge, and I believe that it is of great interest to the readers o...

Objectives A survey of UK veterinarians was conducted to determine factors influencing suture choice and current suture practice for common surgical procedures. Methods An online survey was designed and the survey was sent to central practice emails obtained from the 2011 Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) practice database. Results Two hundred and thirty-nine surveys were complete...

In an attempt to determine the best method for surgical removal of devitalized small colon lesions, 12 horses underwent a double small colon resection and end-to-end anastomosis. In 4 horses (study 1), an appositional single-layer (APP-1) suture pattern was compared with an inverting 2-layer (INV-2) suture pattern. In 8 horses (study 2), an appositional 2-layer (APP-2) suture pattern was compar...

OBJECTIVE To validate non-torque pattern double running suture technique for optical penetrating keratoplasty compared with traditional suture method. METHODS 56 patients (56 eyes) undergoing optical penetrating keratoplasty were divided into two groups. The experimental group (28 cases) underwent non-torque pattern double running suture technique, and the control group (28 cases) underwent i...

Authors’ Response: We appreciate the letter to the editor and agree with the comments. It is important to highlight that Abdelkafy and colleagues evaluated a cruciate pattern produced with a single suture while our study evaluated a cruciate pattern created by 2 meniscal repair suture devices, effectively producing a repair with 2 sutures. The difference of 1 suture versus 2 sutures is a probab...
