The purpose of this study was to retrospectively assess the accuracy MDCT angiography as initial diagnostic technique depict arterial injury in patients with extremity trauma.Over 36 months, 87 (16 females and 71 males; age range, 16-87 years) clinically suspected after trauma underwent 4-MDCT 67 ultimately surgery. Eighty had blunt injuries, seven penetrating injuries. presence involvement investigated prospectively by radiologist charge two independent radiologists. Each detected lesion...
Background: The objective of this study was to assess time management and diagnostic quality when using a 64-multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) whole-body scanner evaluate polytraumatized patients in an emergency department. Methods: Eighty-eight consecutive with injury severity score (ISS) ≥ 18 (mean ISS = 29) were included study. Documented evaluated data crash history, trauma mechanism, number pattern injuries, severity, diagnostics, flow, missed diagnoses. Data stored our...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness endovascular stent-graft placement for emergency treatment acute descending thoracic aortic disease.From January 1996 through November 2001, 18 patients underwent various types disease. Five had Stanford type B dissection, six traumatic ruptures aorta, five ruptured aneurysms, two penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers. All presented with life-threatening symptoms requiring stent-grafts from kit. were at high...
A bench study was performed to investigate the potential of air bubbles entering a central vein via venous catheter ascend retrograde brain. The results support hypothesis that may rise against blood flow, depending on bubble size, diameter and cardiac output. review radiological findings in published case reports indicates occurrence cerebral embolism is underestimated.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: Ablative neurosurgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, including percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation, requires cannulation the foramen ovale. To maximize patient security and success, a frameless stereotactic system was evaluated in phantom study, cadaveric preliminary clinical trial. METHODS: Frameless stereotaxy using an optical navigation system, aiming device, noninvasive vacuum mouthpiece-based registration fixation technique used for targeting test body...
The authors developed a minimally invasive method with computer-assisted navigation for retrograde drilling of osteochondral lesions the talus. Planning pathway and adjustment targeting device were performed outside operating room. In 10 cadavers four patients, accuracy pin placement was in range 1.0–3.5 mm.
Recurrent palatal fistulae present a particularly vexing problem for patients with cleft lips and palates their surgeons. When primary closure fails, conventional wisdom the standard of care suggest local flap techniques defect closure. For large majority patients, this approach is successful. There is, however, small subset who undergo multiple surgical procedures in unsuccessful attempts to close recalcitrant fistulae, at anterior, densely scarred, hard palate. In setting, repair calls...
We propose a kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) model for simulating the movement of platinum particles on supports, based atom-by-atom diffusion surface particle. The proposed was able to reproduce equilibrium cluster shapes predicted using Wulff-construction. diffusivity simulated both purely random motion and assisted an external field that causes drift velocity. overall particle increases with temperature; however, extracted activation barrier appears be temperature independent. In addition, this...
