Digital templating with external calibration markers is the standard method for planning total hip arthroplasty. We determined the geometrical basis of the magnification effect, compared magnification with external and internal calibration markers, and examined the influence on magnification of the position of the calibration markers, patient weight, and body mass index (BMI). A formula was der...

fying endoscopy in the diagnosis of gas− tritis and gastric cancer has been report− ed [1, 2]. However, there have been no re− ports on magnified endoscopic images of nonepithelial gastric tumors. We con− ducted a long−term follow−up of gastric mucosa−associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma by magnifying endos− copy. The magnifying electronic video endo− scope used was a GIF−Q240Z model (Oly...

BACKGROUND Gestational primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with serious maternal and neonatal complications, which require prompt surgical treatment. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy reduces pain, improves cosmesis and may achieve cure rates comparable to traditional open bilateral neck exploration. We report the clinical course of a woman with newly diagnosed gestational primary hype...

BACKGROUND Surgical videography can provide analytical self-examination for the surgeon, teaching opportunities for trainees, and allow for surgical case presentations. This study examined if a modified GoPro Hero 4 camera with a 25 mm lens could prove to be a cost-effective method of surgical videography with enough detail for oculoplastic and strabismus surgery. METHOD The stock lens mount ...

The detailed assembly used by us for video-enhanced contrast-differential interference contrast (VEC-DIC) microscopy (video microscopy is first described. Employing such video microscopy, we then examined the morphological changes occurring during locomotion and activation processes of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and microglia at an almost electron microscopic magnification. Upon contac...

this study concerns to analyze femininity identity by psychoanalysis approach of lacan. psychoanalysis is certainly one of the most areas of debate within feminist artists. the main question of this research is: “how does video art show the femininity identity?” so, initially we tried to categorize different influential concepts of lacan’s psychoanalysis which is necessary to get to know his at...
