Comparison of Suture-in and Suture-out Postkeratoplasty Astigmatism With Single Running Suture or Combined Running and Interrupted Sutures
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1996Co-Authors: Vadim Filatov, George Alexandrakis, Jonathan H. Talamo, Roger F. SteinertAbstract:Purpose To evaluate postkeratoplasty astigmatism between two suture techniques 2 to 4 years postoperatively in a group of patients previously studied 9 months postoperatively. Methods Thirty-two patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group 1 (16 patients) had a 24-bite single running 10–0 nylon suture with postoperative suture tension adjustment; group 2 (16 patients) had combined 16-bite running and eight interrupted 10–0 nylon sutures with selective postoperative removal of interrupted sutures. During long-term follow-up, the running suture was removed in 19 patients (59%). Results Postoperative astigmatism was slightly lower in patients with the single running suture technique when sutures were in place and was slightly greater after the sutures were removed compared with the combined running and interrupted suture technique (sutures in: single running suture ± SD, 2.6 ± 1.2 diopters [five patients, 31%]; combined running and interrupted sutures, 3.8 ± 1.1 diopters [eight patients, 50%]; sutures out: single running suture, 3.3 ± 1.3 diopters [11 patients, 69%]; combined running and interrupted sutures, 2.8 ±1.5 diopters [eight patients, 50%]). These differences were not statistically significant (sutures in, P Conclusions Postoperative astigmatism 4 years after penetrating keratoplasty is similar for these two suturing techniques, with or without residual sutures. A single running suture results in more rapid visual rehabilitation and less early astigmatism compared with the combined interrupted and running suture technique.

Postkeratoplasty Astigmatism with Single Running Suture or Interrupted Sutures
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1993Co-Authors: Vadim Filatov, Roger F. Steinert, Jonathan H. TalamoAbstract:In a prospective randomized clinical trial we compared astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty with two different suture techniques between two groups of patients (38 patients). The first group (18 patients) had a 24-bite single running 10-0 nylon suture (single running suture) with postoperative suture adjustment to decrease astigmatism. The second group (20 patients) had a combination of a 16-bite running 10-0 nylon suture and eight interrupted 10-0 nylon sutures (combined running and interrupted sutures) with selective postoperative removal of interrupted sutures to decrease astigmatism. The single running suture resulted in a lower postoperative astigmatism than a combined running and interrupted suture technique (single running suture, 2.7 ± 2.2 diopters; combined running and interrupted sutures, 3.9 ± 2.5 diopters; P

The intensity of exercise in deep-water running.
International journal of sports medicine, 1991Co-Authors: S E Ritchie, W. G. HopkinsAbstract:The intensity of exercise during 30-min sessions of continuous deep-water running at a "hard" pace was determined by monitoring oxygen consumption (VO2), respiratory quotient (RQ), heart rate, perceived physical effort and perceived aches and pains in the legs in eight competitive runners, six of whom had not previously practised the technique. The intensity was compared with that of 30-min runs on a treadmill at hard and "normal" training paces and a 30-min outdoor run at normal training pace. VO2 during the last session of deep-water running (73% of maximum VO2) was not significantly different from that of the treadmill hard run (78%), but was significantly higher than that of the treadmill normal run (62%). Similar results were obtained for RQ, perceived effort and pain. In contrast, heart rates for deep-water running were similar to those of normal training and significantly less than those of the treadmill hard run. The disparity between VO2 and heart rate for deep-water running may reflect cooling or increased venous return caused by water immersion. It is concluded that deep-water running can be performed at a sufficient intensity for a sufficient period to make it an effective endurance training technique.
