METHODS A single linear incision was made on the midline dorsal part of the tongue. Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into the four groups Group 1 (n = 6), OCA healing at day 5; group 2 (n = 6), OCA healing at day 21; group 3 (n = 6), Vicryl healing at day 5; group 4 (n = 6), Vicryl healing at day 21. In groups 1 and 2, OCA was applied to the incision site. The incisions of the rats in groups 3 and 4 were closed using Vicryl sutures. Histopathological examination was compared between and within the groups at day 5 and 21. RESULTS The operation duration was significantly shorter with OCA than with Vicryl sutures(P  0.05). CONCLUSION OCA is a practical, rapid, and effective method for repairing tongue lacerations. Although infiltration by inflammatory cells and foreign bodies increased in the early period, the long-term results of OCA were indistinguishable from those of suturing.BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Standing up from the floor is a demanding mobility activity with important implications. The purpose of this study was to describe performance and the clinimetric properties of the Timed Up From Floor (TUFF) test completed by apparently healthy community-dwelling older women. METHODS In this observational and methodological quality study, 52 community-dwelling women, 55 years and older, were examined. Convergent and discriminant validities were examined by analyzing the correlations of TUFF test times with other mobility variables and emotional status, respectively. Validity was further examined by comparing TUFF times between age groups and fall risk groups. Interrater reliability of the TUFF test was established by comparing the times obtained by 3 raters observing the same videotaped performances. Test-retest reliability was
