Abstract Purpose: To discuss the use of models of hepatic retraction by laparoscopy, to present a new Hepatic Retractor (HR) and to evaluate its practicality, efficacy and safety in Esophageal Hiatus Exposure (EHE). Methods: Experimental cross - sectional study with a quantitative character. It was c...

Clip Ovesco® como tratamiento de rescate en lesión de Dieulafoy duodenal con sangrado activo

Las lesiones de Dieulafoy se definen como una anomalía vascular que producen un sangrado en la mucosa proveniente de una arteria submucosa anormalmente larga y tortuosa que se ubican principalmente en estómago (80%), con poca frecuencia a nivel duodenal y constituyen el 6% de los sangrados gastrointest...

Hydrodynamic evaluations of four mock femoral venous cannulas

Abstract Objective: To report the results of four mock femoral venous cannulas and the hydrodynamical superiority of one of them, which is the completely punched (CP) model, upon the other three. Methods: Four simulated femoral venous cannulas (single-stage, two-stage, multi-stage, and CP model) were d...

Efficacy and Safety of PARACHUTE® Device: systematic review

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Heart failure due to an acute myocardial infarction is a very frequent event, with a tendency to increase according to improvements in the treatment of acute conditions which have led to larger numbers of infarction survivors. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to synthesize the ...

Uso de la ecografía como una herramienta no invasiva decisiva para determinar el tamaño preciso del tubo endotraqueal en niños anestesiados

Arch. argent. pediatr; 116 (3), 2018
Introducción. Es difícil determinar el tamaño adecuado y la posición traqueal correcta del tubo endotraqueal (TET) en los niños. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el diámetro traqueal en los niños mediante el uso de la técnica ecográfica como herramienta objetiva y compararlo con fórmu...

Ureteral access sheaths: a comprehensive comparison of physical and mechanical properties

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: Ureteral access sheaths (UAS) facilitate flexible ureteroscopy in the treat- ment of urolithiasis. The physical properties of UAS vary by manufacturer and model. We compared three new UAS: Glideway (GW, Terumo, 11/13Fr, 12/14Fr), Pathway (PW, Terumo 12/14F) and Navigator HD (NHD, ...

Functional performance of different venous limb options in simulated neonatal/pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass circuits

Abstract Objective: Hemodilution is a concern in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Using a smaller dual tubing rather than a single larger inner diameter (ID) tubing in the venous limb to decrease prime volume has been a standard practice. The purpose of this study is to evaluate these tubing options. Meth...

Evaluation of apically extruded debris using continuous rotation, reciprocation, or adaptive motion

Braz. dent. j; 29 (3), 2018
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the amount of apically extruded debris during root canal instrumentation using ProTaper Next (PTN), Twisted File (TF) Adaptive, and Reciproc instruments. Forty-five extracted human maxillary canines were selected and randomly assigned into 3 groups. The root ...
