To augment venous blood flow at Doppler ultrasonography (US) of the extremities, a device comprising a blood pressure cuff connected to an external reservoir was tested. Constant and easily controlled pressure was delivered with each compression by the same operator performing US. In 10 patients (four men and six women, aged 54-86 years), discomfort was reduced compared with discomfort during m...

End-to-end neurorrhaphy remains the gold standard for transected nerve repair. However, the current dogma is that to be successful, nerve repairs must be tension free. Therefore, nerve gaps are most commonly repaired with grafts. While there is evidence that nerves can regenerate successfully after initial approximation under a tensile force, the amount of tension that deters regeneration of hu...

Memristor crossbar architecture is one of the most popular circuit configurations due to its wide range practical applications. The can emulate weighted summation operation, called multiply and accumulate operation (MAC). errors MAC computing get introduced a variability. We broadly group variability in three categories: (1) device-to-device variations, (2) programming nonlinearity, (3) those f...

A new US Food and Drug Administration-cleared needleless blood collection device (PIVO; Velano Vascular, San Francisco, CA) for short peripheral catheters was compared with conventional venipuncture for collecting blood samples for routine laboratory analysis from adult healthy volunteers. The PIVO device was comparable with venipuncture in terms of providing high-integrity samples (no hemolysi...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of 6-mm Cutting Balloon angioplasty in patients with resistant peripheral stenoses caused by neointimal hyperplasia or irradiation-induced arteriopathy in vascular territories that are not amenable for use of the smaller Cutting Balloons that are used in cardiology. CONCLUSION Peripheral Cutting Balloon angioplasty with the new ...

BACKGROUND: Peripheral blood circulation disorder is one of the global health problems. Balneotherapy that uses CO2 springs may be complementary treatment options. The device to produce artificial CO2-rich water needed achieve an improvement effect, at least almost like effect natural balneotherapy. AIM: This study aims investigate immersion on peripheral flow using Bicarbonated JesC CREA BC-20...

As I write this sentence, I am glancing over at the color printer sitting beside my screen. In the popular jargon of the computer industry, that printer is called a "peripheral"—which, upon reflection, is a rather odd way to describe it. What, precisely, is it peripheral to? If the ultimate goal of my activity is to produce a physical artifact, then one would have to conclude that the printer i...
