Virtual suturing for training in vascular surgery
… and aviation contexts. A design for a virtual suturing simulator, dubbed FESTIVALS, is proposed which is based upon principles established in motor psychology over the last few decades. In particular, practice variability is promoted by requiring the user to employ both hands in facilitating …

Suturing the world : the micro-practices of care and the politics of life in Chiang Mai
… At its core, this thesis reorients care as a suturing and sutured state, practice that acts upon the world, and value accumulated by practice, which repairs, envisions, and transforms the human condition in a provisionary but concrete manner.

AN IMBRICATE MID CRUSTAL SUTURE ZONE: THE MOJAVE-YAVAPAI PROVINCE BOUNDARY IN GRAND CANYON, ARIZONA
… show that the Vishnu Schist does not support suturing. Paradoxically, plutons east and west of the Crystal shear zone support suturing based on different U-Pb-Hf isotopic characteristics across the shear zone. I interpret the nature of this boundary to be the existence of an Archean substrate …

Truffaut Un-Sutured : a psychogeographical reading of The 400 Blows
In its application to cinema, suturing denotes the process by which film narrative is rendered seamless. This enables the identification required for a spectator to become the subject of a film and also functions to conceal the film’s ideological mechanisms. In a critical survey of existing criticism …

Comparison of conjunctival pedicle flap to corneal adhesion achieved by Tisseel® fibrin glue, ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, ReSure® hydrogel sealant, and conventional suturing with 8-0 VICRYL® suture
… to the cornea is typically achieved through suturing, which is technically challenging and can result in prolonged surgical times, increased corneal edema, increased scar tissue, foreign body reaction, suture abscess and dehiscence. In human ophthalmology, a number of sutureless techniques to …

Evaluation of a simplified technique for nerve repair by means of entubulation by flexible controlled release glass
… wrap was compared with microsurgical epineurial suturing as a means of repairing cleanly divided median nerves in a sheep model.

Self-Regulated Learning and Psychomotor Skill Development in Second-Year Veterinary Students
… own development of psychomotor skills, such as suturing, intravenous (IV) catheter placement, and physical exams. Self-directed learning requires the use of self-regulated learning strategies. This research study demonstrates the effect of introducing self-regulated learning theory and …

Effects of tendon viscoelasticity on the distribution of forces across sutures in a model tendon-to-bone repair
… Numerous studies have been performed to identify suturing strategies that reduce this risk by balancing forces across sutures. However, the structural engineering basis for these approaches is still emerging, and the effects of tendon mechanics on load balancing is still unclear. Specifically, the …

Reduction of perineal trauma and improved perineal comfort during and after childbirth : the Perineal Warm Pack Trial
… outcome measure was the requirement for perineal suturing and the secondary outcome measure was maternal comfort. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of women who required suturing following birth. There were significantly fewer third-and fourth-degree tears in the warm …

Biomechanical Comparison of Meniscal Repair Systems in Shear Loading
… can be repaired surgically, either with standard suturing techniques or with commercially available all-inside meniscal repair devices, which are designed to make the repair surgery faster, easier, and potentially safer. Many prior biomechanical studies have loaded an excised, repaired meniscus in …

Task Analysis, Modeling, And Automatic Identification Of Elemental Tasks In Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery
… Task Analysis was performed on a four-throw suturing task using a robotic microsurgical platform. Three skill levels were studied: attending surgeons, residents, and naïve participants. From this task analysis, a subtask library was created. The Hierarchical Task Analysis subtask library, a …

Video assisted gastrostomy in children
… III) We developed, and thereafter used, a new suturing technique when adapting the ventricle to the abdominal wall when performing a VAG procedure in children. We noticed a significant decrease in the incidence of granulation tissue development in the group where the new suture was used, coined …

Geology & Geochemistry of the Kingman Feldspar, Rare Metals and Wagon Bow Pegmatites
… older Cerbat plutons are associated with the suturing of the Mojave and Yavapai terranes whereas Aquarius granites were emplaced during the Yavapai Orogeny as the sutured terranes docked with North America. A detailed study of 5 pegmatites shows that they are zoned with composite cores and …

Device for the mechanization of corneal transplants
… there are no devices to assist with the delicate suturing of donor to host cornea. This thesis proposes replacing the painstaking manual procedure with a device that will automate the placement of a ring of sutures. Such a device will enable ophthalmologists to easily suture transplanted corneas …

Property determinants of dextran:polyethylene glycol adhesive sealants
… requires the use of closure techniques, such as suturing or stapling of disjoined tissues. Risk factors associated with these techniques are largely attributed to the discrete nature of the mechanical forces arising in the tissues. Adhesive sealants can mitigate risk by imparting a continuous …

A selection of biomechanical research problems : from modeling to experimentation
… the stability and reliability of two different suturing techniques are explored. Chapters 5 and 6 represent new patent designs as a result of the investigations made in Chapter 4. Chapter 7 studies the impact and load transfer patterns during the collision between a child's head and the ground. …

Archean detrital zircons in the Proterozoic Vishnu Schist of the Grand Canyon, Arizona : implications for crustal architecture and Nuna reconstructions
… distributions in all samples constrains possible suturing of crustal blocks to pre-Vishnu Schist deposition rather than during the peak 1710-1680 Ma deformation. Of all grains analyzed, 15% overlap at 2σ with the 1.84 ± 1 Ga Elves Chasm orthogneiss of western Grand Canyon. This supports field …
