Sutured Floer homology, sutured TQFT and non-commutative QFT [PDF]
We define a "sutured topological quantum field theory", motivated by the study of sutured Floer homology of product 3-manifolds, and contact elements. We study a rich algebraic structure of suture elements in sutured TQFT, showing that it corresponds to contact elements in sutured Floer homology.

Concomitant use of elastic suture associated with vacuum dressing in the closure of large soft tissue losses [PDF]
Treating complex wounds with great loss of soft tissues is a challenge for plastic surgery, especially when the wound is infected. Several options are considered for treatment, such as sutures, grafts, flaps, and expanders.

Thread-Lift Sutures: Still in the Lift? A Systematic Review of the Literature
Background: In 2006, Villa et al. published a review article concerning the use of thread-lift sutures and concluded that the technique was still in its infancy but had great potential to become a useful and effective procedure for nonsurgical lifting of

Alternative model for training microsuture techniques in bovine pericardium patches [PDF]
Introduction: Microsurgical techniques are characterized by the application of maneuvers and sutures to millimetric structures with the aid of magnifying lenses. These are complex techniques, used in various medical specialties, which require great skill
