A simple and cost effective technique for construction of tissue microarrays

A simple cost effective technique for soft tissue protection during intramedullary nailing of the tibia.

Intramedullary nailing has revolutionized the management of tibial diaphyseal fractures. However, anterior knee pain remains a common complication. Although knee pain causes are still largely unknown, there is evidence to suggest that adhesions resulting from soft tissue damage may contribute to it. We describe a simple cost-effective technique that utilises a syringe to protect the patellar li...

Tissue microarrays: construction and use.

Tissue microarrays (TMAs) enable high-throughput tissue analysis by selecting a large number of -paraffin-embedded donor tissue block cores and transferring these tissue cores into a positionally encoded array in the recipient TMA block. Once TMAs are constructed, a variety of analysis may be performed on the arrays including histochemical, immunohistochemical, or immunofluorescent staining, an...

A Simple and Cost-Effective Socket Preservation Technique.

Simple, cost-effective technique for portable digital eletrocorticography.

We revised 16 patients submitted to epilepsy surgery using a new method of digital, real-time, portable electrocorticography. Patients were operated upon over a period of 28 months. There were no complications. The exam was useful in 13 cases. The low installation and operational costs, the reliability and simplicity of the method, indicate it may be useful for defining the epileptogenic region...

I-4: A Simple and Safe Technique for Varicocele Surgery

s:2127:"Varicocele is the most common pathologic finding in men in infertility study programs and is the most treatable cause of male infertility. Its correction is performed by different surgical techniques, none of which is yet acknowledged as the "gold standard." Some of them, especially the microsurgical ones, are very time consuming and thus expensive; furthermore, all varicocele surgery i...
