Multiple factors affect the regeneration of liver

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To study factors affecting the liver regeneration after hepatectomy METHODS With 3D reconstitution technology, liver regeneration ability of 117 patients was analysed, and relative factors were studied. RESULTS There was no statistically difference between the volume of simulated ...

A simple, reproducible and low-cost simulator for teaching surgical techniques to repair obstetric anal sphincter injuries

Abstract Objective To describe and evaluate the use of a simple, low-cost, and reproducible simulator for teaching the repair of obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS). Methods Twenty resident doctors in obstetrics and gynecology and four obstetricians participated in the simulation. A fourth-degr...

Simulated training of a laparoscopic vesicourethral anastomosis

Acta cir. bras; 33 (8), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To develop a model and curriculum for simulated training of an effective and well accepted laparoscopic vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA). Methods: Experimental longitudinal study of quantitative character. The sample consisted of 12 general surgery residents and 6 urology residents (R...

Automatic 3D modeling of liver segments including segmental branches of portal triad and hepatic vein based on the sectioned-images

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
SUMMARY: The liver dimensional (3D) models, consists of eight segments including portal triad (portal vein, hepatic artery, and bile duct), are necessary because it is difficult to dissect a liver and its inner structures. But it is difficult to produce 3D models from high resolution and color sectioned-...

Modeling and Simulation of Prosthetic Gait Using a 3-D Model of Transtibial Prosthesis

Abstract Introduction: There are over 10 million amputees in the world, amputation below the knee, or transtibial amputation, is extremely common. Due to the physiological changes that affect transtibial amputees, the biomechanics of their gait is altered and may significantly affect their mobility. M...

Allometric equations for total, above- and below-ground biomass and carbon of the Amazonian forest type known as campinarana

Acta amaz; 48 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT The Amazon forest comprises many different forest types, amongst them are campinas and campinaranas, which occur on Amazonian sandy soils, representing 2.65% of Amazonian territory. An understanding of the ecology and quantification of the environmental goods and services of campinaranas is key ...

Percepción de los estudiantes de anatomía humana frente a un método de enseñanza y aprendizaje basado en la construcción de un modelo de pelvis

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
RESUMEN: Este estudio describe la percepción de estudiantes de anatomía humana frente a la actividad de construcción de modelos tridimensionales (3-D) a escala de pelvis. Pocos estudios evalúan la percepción de los estudiantes frente a una actividad de enseñanza y aprendizaje con modelos 3-D. La ac...

Pinna synthetic mold for otoplasty techniques application

Abstract Introduction The ear deformity Tanzer type V, also known as prominent ears, is the most common genetic defect of the pinna. The surgery designed for its correction is known as otoplasty. This esthetic surgery can be performed using different techniques, which requires great skill of its operato...

Addressing the recent dispersion of urban visceral leishmaniasis in the border of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay + Uruguay + Bolivia – Project IDRC

The territory located in the border of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay is endemic for tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL). However, Lutzomyia longipalpis first report in the area was in 2010-Argentina, in 2012-Brazil, and no records in the Paraguayan border despite of reports of human visceral leishmaniasis (V...

Geospatial and modeling tools for leishmaniasis studies: a review of publication between 2008-2018

Aspects of how geospatial technologies can be used on visceral leishmaniasis (VL) control programs are discussed. We reviewed a number of papers discussing the usage of those technologies, through a PubMed literature review. Additionally, we provided conceptual elements for a development of a hierarchica...
