Intraoperative Radiation: An Expensive Option? An Intriguing Robotic Solution

Latex, an intriguing allergen.

Brugada syndrome: an intriguing phenomenon

V Anantharaman, MBBS, FRCS(Edin)(A&E), FAMS Brugada Syndrome has a unique electrocardiographic pattern of downsloping ST-segment elevation in the right praecordial leads (V1 to V3), right bundle branch block pattern and a normal QT-interval. Intermittent and concealed forms do exist. It is important for emergency physicians to recognise this ECG marker of sudden cardiac death. We report the cas...

Hippocampus formation: An intriguing collaboration

Recent genetic studies have shown that the signalling factor Wnt3a is required for formation of the hippocampus; the developmental consequences of Wnt signalling in the hippocampus are mediated by multiple HMG-box transcription factors, with LEF-1 being required just for formation of the dentate gyrus.

Systemic Mastocytosis: An Intriguing Disorder

An Approach to Calculate and Visualize Intraoperative Scattered Radiation Exposure

During the intraoperative radiograph generation process with mobile image intensifier systems (C-arm) most of the radiation exposure for patient, surgeon and operation room personal is caused by scattered radiation. The intensity and propagation of scattered radiation depend on different parameters, e.g. the intensity of the primary radiation, and the positioning of the mobile image intensifier...
