Helical 6-Strand Cruciate Tenorrhaphy: Description of a New Technique and Biomechanical Comparative Analysis With 2 Standard Techniques.

Multiple flexor tendon repair techniques have been developed over the last years. Despite all this, there is no standard technique that has proven to be superior to others, leading to great variability in the use of techniques in surgical practice. We describe a novel tendon repair technique and compare its biomechanical characteristics with 2 conventional techniques.

Seroprevalence and molecular detection of Toxoplasma gondii among donors in a blood bank in Cúcuta, Colombia Introduction: Toxoplasma gondii infection.

Introduction: Toxoplasma gondii infection manifests differently in humans according to their immunity ranging from asymptomatic profiles to severe disease. There are multiple transmission mechanisms including blood transfusions, but little is known about the frequency of T. gondii infection in Colombia’s blood banks.
