AIMS To demonstrate clinical application of a mesodissection platform that was developed to combine advantages of laser-based instrumentation with the speed/ease of manual dissection for automated dissection of tissue off standard glass slides. METHODS Genomic analysis for KRAS gene mutation was performed on formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) cancer patient tissue that was dissected usin...

Minimally invasive live donor nephrectomy has been described using both standard laparoscopic dissection and "gasless" endoscopically assisted techniques. We report another method, hand-assisted laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy, which uses an occlusive sleeve to maintain pneumoperitoneum. The procedure is performed under excellent laparoscopic visualization in a generous operative field, and...

introduction:cold dissection (cd) and bipolar cautery dissection (bcd) techniques are two common surgical tonsillectomy procedures used in the clinic. obstruction has become more prevalent as the major surgical indication and is most prominently observed in younger children.case report:  in this report, we aimed to explain the abovementioned surgical techniques in detail and compare the results...

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2009;62(5):576-88 587 of the distal circumflex artery, severe stenosis of the first marginal artery and slightly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. A percutaneous coronary intervention was also performed during the procedure. After the deobstruction and first dilation with balloon of the distal circumflex, the patient began to feel chest pain and an angiograph showed a...

PRACTICAL ANATOMY. By W. E. Le Gros Clark. Baltimore, The \XTilliams & Wilkins Company, 1949. 473 pp. $6.00. The second edition of this dissecting manual remains unaltered in scope. Revisions, additions, and the use of color have rendered its illustrations one of the main features of this new edition. The order of dissection is slightly different from that which is often adopted; however, the s...

Teaching modules devoted to nanoscale science and engineering concepts have been developed and integrated into key introductory and advanced undergraduate courses in the College of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin Madison. In addition to one new course that has been created under this effort, existing courses have been modified, removing outdated content and replacing it with cutting-...

INTRODUCTION Infarct size (IS) is an important variable to estimate cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury in animal models. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) stains viable cells red while leaving infarcted cells unstained. To quantify IS, infarcted and non-infarcted tissue is often manually dissected and weighed (IS-DW). An alternative is to measure infarcted areas by cumulative planimetry (IS-...
