Influence of suture on bronchial anastomosis in growing puppies.

A comparison study of synthetic nonabsorbable suture (nylon or Prolene) with absorbable suture (Dexon-S or Vicryl) for bronchoplasty was performed in growing puppies. The experiments (n = 15) were followed up for 185 to 381 days (average 323.8 days). Bronchoscopic and bronchographic studies were done at intervals. No stenosis was observed in the group receiving absorbable suture (n = 8), and the anastomoses grew proportionately with the proximal and distal bronchi. In the group receiving nonabsorbable suture (n = 7), variable stenoses developed; two moderate and two severe stenoses were observed during the early healing stage by bronchoscopic examination. In the sequential bronchograms, an increase of stenosis was noted in two dogs. The results suggest that absorbable suture is superior to nonabsorbable suture in pediatric bronchoplasty.

Is child maltreatment a leading cause of delinquency?

This article explores the assumption that child maltreatment is a major cause of juvenile delinquency. Although this relationship is widely accepted as fact, the research that exists in the literature so far is inconclusive at best, and at worst, deeply flawed. For too long, juvenile justice resources have been channeled into the apprehension and processing of youthful offenders, while relatively few dollars have gone into the research necessary to formulate a coherent strategy for solving the juvenile crime problem. Without funding for this much-needed research, the money we do spend on the control and prevention of juvenile crime is blindly spent.
