Rate of Suture Material Absorption Does Not Impact Short Term Outcome of Tubularized Incised Plate Repair of Distal Penile Hypospadias in Children: A Randomized Controlled Study [PDF]
Background: There is an agreement on the use of absorbable sutures for urethroplasty of distal penile hypospadias (DPH) repair in children. Early absorbable sutures may cause less tissue reaction, less stricture formation but increase the risk of fistula

Comparison of MMP1 gene expression and collagen percentage in response to polydioxanone, poly-L-lactic acid and polycaprolactone thread implantation in ageing rat skin [PDF]
Background/Aim: Photoageing causes collagen degradation, leading to sagging skin, increased wrinkles and rough surfaces as signs of skin ageing. UV-B radiation increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, affecting the mitogen-activated protein ...

Resorbable impedance sensors are successfully implanted into porcine small intestinal anastomoses. Impedance was recorded for 2 hours prior, and 2 hours following ischemia induction, and a significant drop in tissue impedance was observed. Abstract Anastomotic failure remains one of the most severe complications in gastrointestinal surgery.

Currently, the animals commonly used to establish animal models of benign airway stenosis (BAS) include mice, rats, pigs, dogs, rabbits, and ferrets. The establishment methods involve one or a combination of two methods such as mechanical injury, tracheal cautery, cuff overpressure intubation, laser injury, and endoscopic silver nitrate cauterization ...
