Undesirable detachment or stretching of coils within the parent artery during aneurysm embolization can be related with thrombus formation, which can be caused occlusion of parent artery or embolic event(s). To escape from this situation, several rescue methods have been reported. A case with undesirably stretched coil in which another rescue method was used, is presented. When the stretched co...

The present investigation was carried out to find an efficient chemically assisted procedure for enucleation of goat oocytes related to handmade cloning (HMC) technique. After 22-h in vitro maturation, oocytes were incubated with 0.5 μg/ml demecolcine for 2 h. Cumulus cells were removed by pipetting and vortexing in 0.5 mg/ml hyaluronidase, and zona pellucida were digested with pronase. Oocytes...

The primary intention of somatic cell nuclear transfer in cattle is commercially driven, notably to generate genetically superior animals with desired phenotypic traits as breeding stock. The widespread application of bovine cloning has been hampered by technical difficulties to which recently introduced zona pellucida-free procedures may offer a solution. The most radical approach is so-called...

Contamination of enteral diets represents a high risk of compromising the patient's medical condition. To assess the microbiological quality and aseptic conditions in the preparation and administration of handmade and industrialized enteral diets offered in a hospital in the Valley of Jequitinhonha, MG, Brazil, we performed a microbiological analysis of 50 samples of diets and 27 samples of sur...

Objective: It is important to observe eye movements in order to evaluate peripheral or central vestibular disorders in dizzy patients. An infrared rays charge coupling device (IR-CCD) camera is now widely used in daily practice. The technical advantage of a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) now allows us to develop an inexpensive handmade camera for carrying out nystagmus recording...

UNLABELLED The Enteral Nutrition Therapy (ENT) has been widely used in hospital and home care assistance. However, research works are needed to make this technique more efficient and cheaper. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the nutritional quality of handmade enteral diets used in a charity hospital in the Jequitinhonha Valley, Brazil, and propose qualitative and quantitative adjustments, when necessary, ...
