The object of this study was evaluation of a walking tractor drawn peanut harvester at different conditions of soil moisture content and forward speed and comparing it with manual harvesting. The evaluation factors for peanut harvester were two levels of soil moisture content and three levels of forward speed. The results revealed that the effect of soil moisture content was only significant on...

Implementation of endoscopes in cholesteatoma surgery resulted considerable changes the management last two decades. Compared to microscopic approach with an excellent but straight-line view and limited illumination, introduction provides a wide-angled panoramic view. Moreover, angled lenses allow surgeon visualize middle ear its hidden recesses through transcanal, minimally-invasive approach. ...

Objective: To carry out a 3D vector reconstruction of the nerves ventral region neck from anatomical sections “Korean Visible Human” for educational purposes. Materials and Methods: The subject was 33-year-old Korean man who died leukemia. He 164cm tall weighed 55kgs. A cryomacrotome sectioned frozen body into 5960 sections. Sections numbered 1500 to 2000 were used this study. segmentation by m...

Many patients with acute ischaemic stroke have contraindications to thrombolytic therapy. We describe a 45 yr old Afro-Caribbean female with HbSC disease whom was electively admitted for a cerebral angiogram to evaluate an intracavernous aneurysm measuring 20 mm in diameter. During the procedure, she suffered a right MCA territory ischaemic event with a NIHSS of 10. A CT angiogram demonstrated ...

In dogs, ultrasonography is performed to locate the ureteral orifices in the urinary bladder, but reference values for their normal location using this technique are missing. In this study, the ureterovesical-vesicourethral and inter-ureterovesical distances were determined in 20 freshly euthanized medium size dogs by detecting artificially produced ureteral jets in color-flow Doppler ultrasono...

Abstract Introduction Carotid artery dissection is a common cause of stroke in the young. It has been related to association carotid with fixed neighbouring anatomical structures. This study assesses between styloid process length, internal position and cervical (CCAD). information would provide potential predicative radiological measurements, which could prevent delays CCAD diagnosis. Method R...

Tension pneumothorax is a rare but potentially life-threating complication of laparoscopic fundoplication. Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes may be used in the diagnosis of intraoperative tension pneumothorax. This case study examines a pediatric patient who underwent laparoscopic fundoplication. Sudden decreases in oxygen saturation were observed during dissection, although the patient’s decreas...

This retrospective study investigated the effect of modifications presented in the seventh edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Manual for staging esophageal cancer on the characterization of the effectiveness of post-operative chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, as measured by overall and disease-free survival. The seventh edition of the AJCC Manual classifies the number of l...

Minimally invasive surgery characterizes a sophisticated operation technique in which long instruments are inserted into the patient through small incisions. Though providing crucial benefits compared to open surgery (i.e. reduced tissue traumatization) it is also faced with a number of disadvantages. One of the major problems is that the surgeon cannot access the operating field directly and, ...

and moulding technicians as well as surgeons. Although it is reasonably straightforward to simulate anastomosis of hollow viscera, a much greater challenge faces design teams in creating simulated tissues for dissection and resection. The structure of surgical training in Britain is undergoing considerable change at present. Entry to a surgical career in the future seems likely to be preceded b...
