Secondary Bleedings in Oral Surgery Emergency Service: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Bleeding after dental surgery is still a common cause for emergency presentation in patients using anticoagulants. Our aim was to analyze pertinent characteristic features on the one hand and to bare existing problems in handling on the other.

Materials And Methods: The study included 76 patients.

Parameters predicting complications in flap surgery.

Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to determine laboratory parameters predicting complications and/or failure in flap surgery.

Study Design: Fifty-seven patients undergoing reconstructive surgery with cutaneous free and pedicled flaps were included. Blood samples were taken 2 days before surgery and 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14 days after.

Cantilever Micro-rheometer for the Characterization of Sugar Solutions.

The volume required for the rheological characterization of fluids can beminimized by using micromechanical cantilevers as viscosity sensors. Here, a simplemeasurement tool for the characterization of sugar solutions is proposed. The sensorconsists of a micromechanical cantilever as used in an atomic force microscopy which isintegrated into a closed fluid handling system.
