The Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Phthisis Bulbi Using Semi-customized Ocular Prosthesis: A Technical Note
Mutilation in the facial region may significantly affect the self-image and personality of individuals. Prosthetic rehabilitation of facial defects could increase the quality of life, thereby encouraging the patients to build up their self-confidence to return to normal social life. Acceptable cosmetic results are often obtained through facial prosthesis. Recovery after the loss of an eye requi...
متن کاملStiffness analysis of 3D spheroids using microtweezers
We describe a novel mechanical characterization method that has directly measured the stiffness of cancer spheroids for the first time to our knowledge. Stiffness is known to be a key parameter that characterizes cancerous and normal cells. Atomic force microscopy or optical tweezers have been typically used for characterization of single cells with the measurable forces ranging from sub pN to ...
متن کاملMinimally Invasive Electrochemotherapy Procedure for Treating Nasal Duct Tumors in Dogs using a Single Needle Electrode
Background Nasal cavity tumors are usually diagnosed late, when they already have infiltrated adjacent tissues thus requiring very aggressive treatments with serious side effects. Here we use electrochemotherapy (ECT), a well demonstrated treatment modality for superficial tumors. Materials and methods In the case of deep-seated tumors, the main limitation of ECT is reaching the tumor with an...
متن کاملOptimization of electrode position and electric pulse amplitude in electrochemotherapy
Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is an effective local tumor therapy performed by the administration of chemotherapeutic drugs followed by the application of local high-voltage electric pulses.1, 2 The electric pulses cause transient structural changes (electroporation) of tumor cell membranes and thus increase the entrance of the chemotherapeutic drugs. This potentiates the chemotherapeutic effect an...
متن کاملOcular melanoma.
The eye is the second most common site for primary melanoma after the skin. An ophthalmologic evaluation should be an integral aspect of melanoma screening that is often not even considered by nonophthalmologists. Delays or failures to make an accurate and early diagnosis can have grave consequences. Early recognition and diagnosis, before the tumor has progressed into an advanced process with ...
