New microcirculatory imaging techniques allowed direct observation of microcirculation at the bedside. This study presents a new device that assists the operator with the unprecedented Hands Free technique. To this end, a replica of Handheld Vital Microscopy was developed to simulate the method of captur...
Introducción para el tratamiento de pacientes con apendicitis aguda, la vía videolaparoscópica se ha convertido en la técnica de elección. Desafortunadamente, en ocasiones es necesario convertir el procedimiento a cirugía convencional. Objetivo: identificar los factores predictivos de conversión e...
Objetivo: Determinar la factibilidad de la monitorización en microcirugía por medio de la evaluación no invasiva de la microcirculación con sidestream dark field (SDF) y compararla con otros métodos. Materiales y métodos: Estudio experimental. En 8 cerdos se elevó colgajo pectoral y se disecó ped...
BACKGROUND: Fern-like crystalloids form when a microvolume of tear is allowed to dry out at ambient conditions on a glass surface. Presence of crystalloids in tear "microdesiccates" is used to evaluate patients with Dry-Eye disease. This study aims to examine morphologically the desiccation process of no...
The four main cell functions, proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and migration, are tightly regulated by external signals that initiate intracellular signal transduction pathways and determine the cellular behaviour. The concentration and composition of such external signals are at least important...
