A novel mounting device for attaching intracranial probes to the skull for use in experimental research models.

چکیده
A simple mount capable of securely holding a variety of intracranial probes to the skull was constructed from commonly available clinical consumables. Using this device the cerebral cortical blood flow of preterm lambs was measured using a laser Doppler flow probe, and cerebral pH and cortical electrical impedance were measured in newborn piglets using pH electrodes and Ag/AgCl wire electrodes. In both studies, the mount held the various probes for periods up to 6 h with no dislodgement or probe failure. The simple mount presented here can be adapted to a wide variety of intracranial probes and will hold them securely to the skull.

An improved mounting device for attaching intracranial probes in large animal models
BACKGROUND The rigid support of intracranial probes can be difficult when using animal models, as mounting devices suitable for the probes are either not available, or designed for human use and not suitable in animal skulls. A cheap and reliable mounting device for securing intracranial probes in large animal models is described. METHODS Using commonly available clinical consumables, a unive...
متن کاملDevelopment of A Head Docking Device for Linac-based Stereotactic Radiosurgery System to be Installed on Neptun 10 PC Linac
Introduction: Stereotactic radiosurgery is a technique for the treatment of intracranial lesions with highly collimated x-ray beam. Linac-based radiosurgery is currently performed by two techniques: couch or pedestal mounted. In the first technique, a device is required to affix patient's head to a couch and moreover to translate it accurately. Structure of suc...
متن کاملRole of ultrasound probes in transmission of hospital infections
Background: The ultrasonography probes are cleaned by absorbent soft, dry cloth. This question arose whether linear and convex ultrasound probes coupling with gel could perform as a means for nosocomial infections transmission, and which method is economical and more efficient for cleaning the probes. This study was conducted to answer these questions. Methods: One hundred – ninety two patients...
متن کاملOptimized System for Cerebral Perfusion Monitoring in the Rat Stroke Model of Intraluminal Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
The translational potential of pre-clinical stroke research depends on the accuracy of experimental modeling. Cerebral perfusion monitoring in animal models of acute ischemic stroke allows to confirm successful arterial occlusion and exclude subarachnoid hemorrhage. Cerebral perfusion monitoring can also be used to study intracranial collateral circulation, which is emerging as a powerful deter...
متن کاملEnchondroma of the Skull Base in a Case of Ollier’s Syndrome
Ollier’s syndrome, a variant of multiple enchondromatosis, is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence of 1/100,000, characterized by multiple enchondromas, asymmetrically involving small bones of the hands and feet, especially the proximal phalanges. Intracranial enchondromas, such as those arising from the skull base are extremely rare. Herein, we report a 25-year-old female, known case of...
