Objective: Single-slice, cross-sectional, intraluminal optical-coherence-tomography (OCT) is a new destruction-free optical imaging method that could be applied clinically to examine the upper urinary tract from within. In-vivo access to the human upper urinary tract (UUT) was attempted. Similar ...

Unfortunately, the success rate of using the catheter is below 50%, and complications (such as strokes) may occur. Effectiveness of the Maze procedure: The Maze procedure is done surgically (using open-heart surgery) and has been reported to correct atrial fibrillation in 90% to 99% of ...
Key components to successful management of external drainage of kidney in this patient are: [1] use of size 14 French pigtail catheter for long-term nephrostomy, [2] anchoring the catheter to skin to with Percufix catheter cuff to prevent accidental tug [3], replacing the nephrostomy dressing...

The biopsies were taken prior to and using the same route as for placing the ventricular catheter (anterior to the coronal suture and 3 cm from midline). The detailed procedure of the immunohistochemical analysis has been described previously [20]. From all samples, a neuropathologist analyzed ...
A ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) was performed for patients with a lumbar spinal disorder, and a ventriculoarterial shunt (VAS) was performed for the patients who had a history of laparotomy with the advice by the surgeon to avoid placing the distal shunt catheter into the abdominal cavity....
The urinary glucose loss is probably the cause of the slight hypoglycemia observed in the rescued mice during fasting. The plasma insulin and glucagon levels of the rescued mice were, however, very different from those of control mice. Strikingly, the fed and fasted insulin plasma levels were ...
