Biomechanical analysis of a novel suture pattern for repair of equine tendon lacerations
Flexor tendon lacerations in horses are traumatic injuries that can be career ending and life threatening. In the horse, a tendon repair must withstand the strains placed on the tenorrhaphy by immediate weight bearing and locomotion post-operatively. Despite the use of external coaptation, such …

Improving Physician Behavior with an Obstetric Dashboard
… One major risk factor of anal sphincter lacerations is episiotomy. National quality benchmarks recommend restricted use of episiotomy (in the absence of an indication like shoulder dystocia), with a recommended benchmark rate of less than 5.0% (Leapfrog) to reduce the occurrence of severe …

Pretibial injuries : Clinical presentation, treatment paths, and health economic burden
… as two distinct clinical variations: pretibial lacerations (PLs) and pretibial hematomas (PHs). PLs and PHs affect the skin and subcutaneous tissue between the knee joint and ankle due to low-energy trauma such as falling on flat ground. PLs constitute different types of open wounds e.g. linear …

Local dose coefficients for radionuclide contamination in wounds
… Wound models were created for injections, lacerations, abrasions, and burns and MCNP was used to simulate the dose received by 38 radionuclides. Mathematical models accounted for biological removal of the radionuclides from the wound site. It was found that radionuclides that are not …

A Study of the Third Stage of Labor
The chief causes of post part urn hemorrhage are lacerations of the genital tract, retained placental tissue and uterine atony. As post partum hemorrhage still ranks high as a cause of maternal mortality and morbidity it is obvious that the method of prevention of this complication has not as yet …

Accident and Injury Prevention: The Effects of Job Factors and Employee Behaviors
… that occurs with the highest frequency is lacerations and the highest rate of accidents occurs during the first shift. The accident analysis can now serve as the basis for the development of a behavioral safety training program. With its implementation, a behavioral safety program has the …

Relationship of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment During Labor and Delivery on Selected Maternal Morbidity Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… on rates of cesarean section and perineal lacerations/ episiotomies. Qualifying candidates received the next sequentially numbered envelope with a randomized number assigning her to either the treatment or control group. Staff physicians at the hospital provided care to women in the control …
