74 Minimally invasive surgical techniques In all realms of surgery, less-invasive operative techniques are making inroads. For example, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now become the standard of care for patients with biliary colic or acute cholecystitis. Similarly, in the critically ill and injured ...
Our primary aim was to noninvasively characterize the human ventral cervical neuronal response to a standard LPS challenge. vcMNG allowed for real-time recording of cytokine-induced ventral cervical neural responses, which were indexed by changes in firing frequency capable of capturing neuroimmune axis...
Neutrophils play a complex role during onset of tissue injury and subsequent resolution and healing. To assess neutrophil dynamics upon cardiovascular injury, here we develop a non-invasive, background-free approach for specific mapping of neutrophil dyn
Purpose: to assess the effectiveness of Progressive Pressure Release (PPR) and Transcutanuous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on cervical myofascial Pain. Methods: Thirty patients (male and female), their age range 25-35 years, with neck pain were assigned randomly to three equal groups. The...
a high proportion of NSCLC patients will eventually develop resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Invasive procedures, such as surgery or biopsy, are impractical to be performed repeatedly to assess the evolution of EGFR-TKI resistance. Thus, exploring some convenient and less invasive techniques to monitor EGFR...
Minimal invasive surgery of the cervical Disc--nonendoscopic percutaneous cervical Laser decompression and nucleotomy and selective percutaneous endoscopic cervical nucleotomy using radiowave.An abstract of the article "Mininal invasive surgery of the cervical Disc-nonendoscopic percutaneous cervical Laser ...
In children with spinal cord injury (SCI), scoliosis due to trunk muscle paralysis frequently requires surgical treatment. Transcutaneous spinal stimulation enables trunk stability in adults with SCI and may pose a non-invasive preventative therapeutic a
Male Sprague–Dawley rats were anesthetized with 2–4% isoflurane. A single incision was made along the neck exposing the cervical portion of the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and masseter muscles for blunt dissection exposing the left cervical vagus nerve. The microelectrode was placed along the main...
