Background: This cross-sectional study was conducted to compare the cost-effectiveness of three therapeutic methods of long-term hemodialysis, kidney transplant from a living person and kidney transplant from a cadaver utilizing Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) using data from the records of patients referred to Afzalipour Hospital of Kerman in 2012.   Methods: This cross-sectional...

Background Correct interpretation of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) requires thorough knowledge of normal anatomy, but several authors report deficiencies in anatomy skills among rheumatologists. Cadaver-based anatomy review courses improve clinical and injection skills, but the value of such courses in MSUS training is unclear. During 2010-12 we delivered two cadaver based, MSUS anatomy cou...

The performance of a Skull Base Drilling Robot is limited in cadaver studies mainly due to registration error in current system. In this project, a C-arm cone-beam CT will be used to provide guidance and "no-fly zones" to the robot that properly accounted for anatomical deformations imparted during the surgery. Hopefully, this integration will reduce registration error and improve the performan...

Toxicological analyses on a putrefied cadaver are sometimes difficult to achieve, because of the absence of blood and/or urine. Drugs present in a decomposing corpse may be identified through analysis of maggots feeding off it. In this study, morphine and codeine were simultaneously identified and assayed in blood and bile of a putrefied cadaver and in the fly larvae of Calliphoridae found on t...

259 It is widely held that human fetal tissue used in transplantation should be treated as any other human cadaver tissue. Treating the dead fetus as a cadaver is more respectful than treating it as a tissue specimen. However, despite the prevalence of references to the cadaver donor framework in several national fetal tissue guidelines, provisions that depart from this framework are frequently...

purpose: to evaluate the histopathologic features of optic neurotomy with microvitreoretinal (mvr) blade and excimer laser in cadaver eyes. method: optic neurotomy was performed in 11 cadaver eyes using 20-gauge mvr blade and in three cadaver eyes with pulsed xenon chloride (xecl) excimer laser (308 nm) via monofile light-conducting fiber with a core diameter of 200 microns. after tissue proces...
