Association of Pre-operative Eustachian Tube Function with the Graft Uptake After Tympanoplasty. [PDF]
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg, 2023 To assess the eustachian tube function by impedance audiometry (Toynbee's test) in patients of mucosal type of chronic otitis media (inactive stage) and to assess the correlation of eustachian tube function with the results-i.e., success or failure of tympanoplasty in these patients in terms of graft uptake.

Aspirin Decreases Platelet Uptake on Dacron Vascular Grafts in Baboons
Annals of Surgery, 1984 The influence of a single dose of aspirin (5.4-7.4 mg/kg) on platelet uptake on 4-mm Dacron interposition grafts was studied in a baboon model using gamma camera scanning for 111-Indium labeled platelets. In vitro assessment of platelet function after aspirin administration revealed that in the baboon, as in the human, aspirin abolished arachidonic ...
