Optically transparent, electrically conductive composite medium.

The development of an optically transparent yet electrically conductive material made with a composite structure having preferentially arranged conductive paths is described. The medium contains many vertically aligned but laterally isolated chains of ferromagnetic spheres dispersed in a sheet of transparent polymer. The sheet material transmits more than 90 percent of the incident light and is highly conductive only in the thickness direction.

Inguinal lymphocele as a complication of thighplasty.

This report describes an inguinal lymphocele following thighplasty. Lymphoceles are caused by a continuing leak of lymph from transected lymphatic ducts. They usually appear several weeks following surgery and can be identified by characteristic physical findings and laboratory tests present in predisposing clinical situations.
