I don't know about Hungary, but in the US, green sutures represent braided
polyester. Whichever, silk or polyester, "spitting" of nonabsorbable braided
suture from abdominal wall closure is very common and is the reason such
suture is rarely used for that purpose in the US these days. It used to be a
commonly used material for that purpose, however.

It won't go away as long as the suture remains, but as a rule it's not a
dangerous problem, just annoying. If the visible part of the suture is cut
off at skin level, it will likely continue to spit, become intermittently
infected as the body continues to try to expel it. If there is no more
visible loop, removing the remaining offending suture will be substantially
more difficult.

The typical method to get rid of such a problem is to cut the loop and pull
on one of the ends and the whole loop comes out with the knot. This assumes
the abdominal wall closure was done using interrupted stitches. If it's a
continuous closure stitch, obviously it won't come out, in which case the
approach would be to pull up as much as possible and cut the suture (both
ends) as close to the skin level as possible, hoping that those cut ends
will retract into the wound enough that the tract will close and the
"spitting" problem won't repeat itself.

This used to be a very common problem. It's rare these days, now that
abdominal incision are mostly closed with non-reactive monofilament suture
such as polypropylene, or monofilament absorbable suture.

Big Bertha Thing repairs

If it is not broken, do not fix it.
Some parts of the project may need repairing.
If you cannot fix it, with a good suggestion,
then do not take it apart, in the first place,
with a bad one.

Big Bertha Thing Probe-B

In the Sunday Telegraph of 11th April 2004, the QED section, gave the story of
the Gravity Probe-B satellite launch. This is expected to prove the existence of
a new force of nature, proposed by Einstein.

There are one or two problems with this:-
1. Einstein never proposed this new force of nature. (Funding canard)
2. It is a magnetic force directly proportional to angular momentum. (Memomagnetism)
3. It is weak at Newtonian speeds and strong at near light speeds.
4. The big three in gyroscopes are Einstein, Professor Francis Everitt of
     Stanford University and Harold Crabtree M.A.
5. One wrote the definitive book on the subject and the other two read it.
6. The relevant extract from the book is given below. (Spider published 4th March 1998)
7. They do not credit the costermonger, with the definitive experiment,
     which proves the existence of the new force of nature.
8. They do not accept that the novelty item was a valid experiment.
9. They believe that the spider wheel was magnetized.
10. The costermonger did not magnetize the spider wheel, he exploited a force of nature.
11. The costermonger discovered, applied and sold the first working application.
12. There is an eye-witness account from 1850 by the author, which kindled his
     life-long interest.
13. The description was published in 1909, in the same book.
14. The force of nature has been missing for 150 years, since its discovery.
15. The first modern publication on the subject is spider, on 4th March 1998. (Usenet)
16. Attribution and due credit are two of the failings of modern science.

Drawing of a clockwork spider wheel and hairpin.

Extract from Introductory Chapter;-
The "Spider tops," which are frequently sold in the streets of London,
consist of a heavy little disc mounted on a spindle (Fig. XIV.).
When the disc has been set spinning a small curved piece of
metal is placed to touch the toe, and at once begins to slide round it,
first the side (a) in the figure, and then the side (b),
the motion continuing backwards and forwards till the top comes to rest.
The fact is that the toe is magnetic, and this being the case it is easy
to see that the rolling of the toe on the side of the metal produces
the motion.

Big Bertha Thing fact

Anything but a fact, changes the face of twentieth century science.
1. No iron moons and planetary cores.
2. No red shift measure of speed.
3. No Patrick Moore star at 95% the speed of light.
4. Muons arrive on earth.
5. Relativity is like an imaginary number; useful but not real.
6. Einstein-Haas gives a field strength 1/10000th the electric field.
7. Wave particle duality is a field effect.
8. Schroedinger is an approximation.

Who has the wit to check the fact?
