First, the pH of the gold suspension was adjusted to 7.5 using NaOH (Merck, Germany) solution. The suspension was then added to the SF solution with a volume ratio of 1:2 silk: AuNPs and stirred gently for 10 min to ensure a homogeneous solution. Next, poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO, MW...
Meanwhile, body temperature was regulated using a heating pad. Bacterial inoculation was performed by injection of 25 μL with 5 × 107 CFU of either S. aureus or E. coli in the left hamstring, using a 0.3 mL syringe with a 32G needle. To induce sterile inflammation in the ...
as a raw frequency output and is used as the calibration values for the transmitter. The data for each rabbit were recorded approximately two weeks after surgery, with the exact numbers of days being dependent on the ani- mals’ level of recovery. The data acquisition system, ...
Proper placement of electrodes was verified during surgery, by stimulating through the head connector. Bare wire tips were covered by gently pulling the Teflon coating over the tips. All EMG wires were coiled subcutaneously in the back region to relieve stress. A common ground (~1 cm of the...
Briefly, the mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and placed on a heating pad to maintain body temperature. After midline laparotomy, the left and middle lobes of the liver were ligated and surgically resected at a level 3 mm proximal to the ligation. After resection, NIR-II fluorescence ...
Body temperature was monitored by a rectal thermometer and regulated by the use of a heating pad throughout the operation. Prior to any incision, the subcutaneous tissue was infiltrated with < 0.1 mL/kg of 0.25% Bupivacaine. The CCI began with a midline scalp incision and the right-...
Briefly, the animals were maintained under 1-2% isoflurane anesthesia throughout stroke surgery, and placed on a temperature-controlled heating pad, positioned, and restrained in the “supine” position over the entire procedures. Animal physiology parameters (such as heart rate, respiratory rate, ...
Jacob Bertrand is currently being held in the Mesa county jail in lieu of $25,000 bail. He is alleged to have committed the nail gun attack up a coworker, while working at a local hardware store. This is certainly not the first attack with a nail gun, on either side of the Atlantic...
Animals were placed on a heating pad in the supine position, intubated under direct laryngoscopy, and mechanically ventilated using a small animal respirator (tidal volume, 1.0 ml; rate, 120 breaths/min, Harvard Apparatus, Holliston, MA). After a minimum thoracotomy, the anterior descending ...
For the chronic window surgery, animals were anesthetized with isoflurane (2% in pure O2), and the body temperature was maintained at 37 °C using a feedback-regulated heating pad monitored by a rectal thermometer. Mice received an intramuscular injection of 40 µl of dexamethasone (2 ...
