Advances in computer sciences, including novel 3-dimensional rendering techniques, have enabled the creation of cloud-based virtual reality (VR) interfaces, making real-time peer-to-peer interaction possible even from remote locations. This study addresses potential use this technology for microsurgery anatomy education.Digital specimens were created using multiple photogrammetry techniques and imported into a simulated neuroanatomy dissection laboratory. A VR educational program multiuser...
OBJECTIVE This study sought to assess the use of an augmented reality (AR) tool for neurosurgical anatomical education. METHODS Three-dimensional models were created using advanced photogrammetry and registered onto a handheld AR foam cube imprinted with scannable quick response codes. A perspective analysis system was performed by loading 3D model over motorized turntable analyze changes in surgical window area according horizontal rotation. The as intraoperative reference guide trainees...
Patients with multirefractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) have limited treatment options. Recent data suggest that specific anti-platelet antibodies may cause destruction of platelets by favoring platelet loss sialic acid. In this multicenter study 35 patients ITP, including 16 disease, were analyzed for antiplatelet-antibodies, thrombopoietin (TPO) levels, and desialylation. selected cases, responses to a novel strategy using oseltamivir tested.We found against GPIbα overrepresented in...
Abstract Aim T lymphocytes play a central role during the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and imbalance between pathogenic T‐helper type 17 (Th17) protective T‐regulatory (Treg) determines tooth‐supporting alveolar bone resorption. Interleukin (IL)‐35 is novel anti‐inflammatory cytokine with therapeutic properties in diseases whose associated Th17/Treg imbalance; however, its periodontitis has not been established yet. This study aimed to elucidate whether IL‐35 inhibits resorption by...
Visualizing and comprehending 3-dimensional (3D) neuroanatomy is challenging. Cadaver dissection limited by low availability, high cost, the need for specialized facilities. New technologies, including 3D rendering of neuroimaging, pictures, videos, are filling this gap facilitating learning, but they also have limitations. This proof-of-concept study explored feasibility combining spatial accuracy reconstructed neuroimaging data with realistic texture fine anatomical details from...
Understanding the anatomy of human cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem their 3-dimensional (3D) relationships is critical for neurosurgery. Although 3D photogrammetric models cadaver brains 2-dimensional images postmortem brain slices are available, neurosurgeons lack free access to cross-sectional that can be simulated in both augmented reality (AR) virtual (VR).To create AR/VR simulations from cross-sectionally dissected cadaveric specimens brainstem.The Klingler method was used prepare 3...
INTRODUCTION: A comprehensive grasp of the anatomy human cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem, along with their intricate 3-dimensional (3D) interconnections, is paramount in neurosurgical practice. While 3D photogrammetric models cadaver brains 2-dimensional images postmortem brain slices exist, accessible cross-sectional brainstem anatomy, compatible both augmented reality (AR) virtual (VR) simulations, are lacking for neurosurgeons. METHODS: Utilizing Klingler method, three cadaveric...
Immersive anatomic environments offer an alternative when laboratory access is limited, but current three-dimensional (3D) renderings are not able to simulate the detail and surgical perspectives needed for microsurgical education.To perform a proof-of-concept study of novel photogrammetry 3D reconstruction technique, converting high-definition (monoscopic) images into navigable, interactive, immersive anatomy simulation.Images were acquired from cadaveric dissections open-access...
AIM:To validate high definition endoscopes with Fujinon intelligent chromoendoscopy (FICE) in colonoscopy. METHODS:The image quality of normal white light endoscopy (WLE), that the 10 available FICE filters and a gold standard (0.2% indigo carmine dye) were compared.
OBJECTIVE Microanastomosis is one of the most technically demanding and important microsurgical skills for a neurosurgeon. A hand motion detector based on machine learning tracking technology was developed implemented performance assessment during microvascular anastomosis simulation. METHODS microanastomosis using model capable 21 landmarks without physical sensors attached to surgeon’s hands. Anastomosis procedures were simulated synthetic vessels, recorded with microscope external camera....
Objective The development of surgical microscope-associated cameras has given rise to a new operating style embodied by hybrid microsurgical and exoscopic operative systems. These platforms utilize specialized camera systems visualize cranial neuroanatomy at various depths. Our study aims understand how different settings in novel exoscope system influence image quality the context neurosurgical procedures. Methods We built an database using captured cadaveric dissection images obtained with...
Anatomical triangles provide neurosurgeons with the specificity required to access deep targets, supplementing more general instructions, such as craniotomy and approach. The infragalenic triangle (IGT), bordered by basal vein of Rosenthal (BVR), precentral cerebellar (PCV), quadrangular lobule cerebellum, is one a system anatomical recently introduced guide dissection brainstem cavernous malformations has not been described in detail. This study aimed quantitatively analyze parameters IGT...

Retrospective Case Series.This study aims to evaluate readmission rates, risk factors, and reason for unplanned 30-day readmissions after thoracolumbar spine trauma surgery.A retrospective chart review was conducted patients undergoing operative treatment thoracic or lumbar with open minimally invasive surgical approach at a Level 1 urban center. Patients were divided into two groups based on status. Reason readmission, reoperation injury type, severity, incidence of polytrauma compared...
Abstract Background and study aims The adherence to knowledge of physicians about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening surveillance guidelines is still suboptimal, threatening the effectiveness CRC screening. This assessed usefulness a mobile decision support system (MDSS) improve physician ability recommend proper timing intervals for surveillance. Patients methods was binational, single-blinded, randomized clinical trial including gastroenterologists surgeons from Argentina Uruguay....
