Laser cell kill is an established tool for studying cells' roles during development and behavior, but its use has been limited due to the manual and low-throughput nature. We demonstrate here a technique combining multiplexing microfluidic manipulation of Caenorhabditis elegans and software for image processing and automation, allowing for high-throughput cell ablations.

BACKGROUND The changing trends in the management of vestibular schwannoma (VS) in our practice over the last two decades as well as the current status are presented here. MATERIALS AND METHODS The observations are based on the experience of 559 consecutive cases of VS operated by the first author between 1987 and 2008, 438 of which were operated by microsurgery and 139 by gamma knife radiosur...

Guided endodontic microsurgery, also known as guided is a surgical procedure used to treat failed endodontically treated teeth with periapical infections. microsurgery can be problematic in some situations, such when there are tough anatomical features or limited access. Some of these complex cases managed using cone beam computed tomography imaging, CAD software design, and 3D printing technol...
