Transcutaneous measurement of bilirubin is being used for neonatal jaundice. Its utility during phototherapy in preterm babies not established. The objective our study was to assess the efficacy transcutaneous (TcB) comparison total serum newborns at admission and covered skin area (glabella). It a prospective observational conducted intensive care unit tertiary hospital from January 2017 2019....

Considerations in rational designs of CPP-based transcutaneous delivery systems are described. Impact of design considerations of nonclinical and clinical results are presented in detail.

Non-invasive, weak direct current stimulation can induce changes in excitability of underlying neural tissue. Many studies have used transcranial direct current stimulation to induce changes in the brain, however more recently a number of studies have used transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation to induce changes in the spinal cord. This study further characterises the effects followin...

OBJECTIVE To verify the usefulness of the BiliCheck transcutaneous bilirubin meter as a screening device for neonatal jaundice in a Chinese population compared with the Minolta bilirubin meter. DESIGN A prospective correlation study that compared transcutaneous bilirubin measurements with serum bilirubin levels. SETTING Obstetric ward and a neonatal unit of a regional hospital in Hong Kong....

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (TcPCO2) monitoring in patients hospitalized for respiratory disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS We used a SenTec TcPCO2 monitor that also determines transcutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) by means of a sensor placed behind the ear lobe at a temperature of 42 degrees C. We compared arterial blood gas measurements--PaCO2...

Sarcomas are relatively resistant because of hypoxia. We previously demonstrated that the transcutaneous CO(2) therapy reduced hypoxic conditions in human malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH). Therefore, we hypothesized that transcutaneous CO(2) therapy could enhance the antitumor effect of radiation therapy in human MFH. Our purpose was to evaluate the effects of transcutaneous CO(2) therapy o...

Semi-implantable transcutaneous bone conduction devices are treatment options for conductive and mixed hearing loss (CHL/MHL). For counseling of patients, realistic simulation of the functional result is desirable. This study compared speech recognition in noise with a semi-implantable transcutaneous bone conduction device to external stimulation with a bone conduction device fixed by a headban...

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation in the symptomatic relief of pain in temporomandibular disorders, compared to the administration of analgesic and anti inflammatory agents. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Khyber College of Dentistry Peshawar and physiotherapy pr...

Since 2011, transcutaneous bone-anchored auditory implants have been an alternative to the classic percutaneous implant (Baha) for bilateral conductive/mixed hearing loss that cannot be corrected by surgery. Recently, a new transcutaneous device has been approved for clinical use. Its internal component is made of the classic titanium Baha fixture, coupled to a 27 mm diameter subcutaneous circu...
