Surface‐Treated Catheters—A Review [PDF]
AbstractAlmost 30% of prevalent hemodialysis patients use catheters for vascular access although outcomes are superior with the use of either an arteriovenous fistula or a synthetic graft. Catheter complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for hemodialysis patients and increase the burden on the health care system.

A case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the scalp treated with surface mould brachytherapy
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a locally aggressive soft tissue tumor with a high propensity of local recurrence after surgery. Radiotherapy as an adjuvant therapy has been shown to reduce recurrent rates of this disease.

On the Surface Porperties of Surface-Treated Polytetrafluoroethylene
ポリ四フッ化エチレンの未処理面およびナトリウム-ナフタリン-テトラヒドロフラン法とナトリウム-液安法による処理面の水に対する接触角を液滴法で測定した。未処理切削面の接触角は切削方向と平行で108°, 垂直方向で115° であった。ナトリウム-ナフタリン法による処理面は52° の比較的安定な接触角を処理条件を変えても示すのに反して, ナトリウム-液安法ではそれらの処理条件によって変化する接触角が得られる。これらの差は吸着坐席の分布状態と表面におけるあらさが関係しているようである。
