Variability in Nerve Location During da Vinci Prostatectomy
Objectives Preservation of nerves during da Vinci prostatectomy (dVP) has been clinically proven to be critical to preservation of urinary function and surgeon perception has been shown to be a poor predictor of nerve location during dVP. Despite this evidence, opinions still vary on the ability of surgeons to use anatomic landmarks to accurately identify these nerves during dVP and to ...

Application of refractable nanocomposite on cell based therapy in central nervous system
Quantum Dots (QDs) are nano–particles carrying high stability fluorescence to follow the grafted cells which can be used in investigating the movement of cells and understanding the organogenesis of stem cells during development and wound repair processes in adulthood. For its easy acquirement and bypassing moral ethical issues, it makes the human adipose derived stem cells an attractive, ...

Folic Acid - Give Mothers-To-Be Their Daily Bread
Folic Acid - Give Mothers-To-Be Their Daily Bread Folic acid is a B vitamin which cannot be produced within the human body. That is why it must either be taken in as food or by means of a folic acid supplement in tablet form. Folic acid is reported to be beneficial for women who are planning on becoming pregnant. Taking extra folic acid before becoming pregnant and during the first 12 ...

The Parasym Device? Significantly Increases Parasympathetic Activity?
Autonomic Balance The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) both work in balance and together make up the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is responsible for many of the bodies autonomic (unconscious) processes. The parasympathetic system has been referred to as 'rest and digest' and the sympathetic system to that of 'fight or flight'. Activating the PNS ...

Increasing contact area of microelectrodes in implantable microchannel array system for peripheral nerve regenerative using metal deposited nanospheres
Electromechanical guidance of neuron outgrowth is an essential route to promote nerve regeneration. The design and fabrication process of a three dimension (3D) device made as a bundle of parallel micro-channels, which can be used as a 3D regenerative implant for peripheral nerve repair, is now under investigation. The device is entirely made of highly compliant polyimide films. Metallic ...

Conceptual Considerations for Device-Based Therapy in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...

Chemyx Syringe Pumps in Neuroscience Research
Introduction The classical field of neuroscience entails biological or psychological investigation of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and the systemic network of sensory nerve cells called neurons.1 Traditionally, this field comprised of purely biological studies but has since flourished into an interdisciplinary sphere addressing the developmental, physiological, ...

How can breath-training help you sleep better?
Most of us have experienced those frustrating nights, endlessly tossing and turning, unable to nod off. The goal of a good, restful night’s sleep can seem very distant. So often we bring all our daytime stress and anxieties into bed with us. Clearly, anything that can help us unwind, de-stress and get more of that precious shuteye would be a boon. The ancient traditions and practices of ...

Developing a Robust in Vitro Intestinal Model for Preclinical Candidate Screening of GI Toxicity
Gastrointestinal (GI) issues are common side effects of many drugs. Anticipating such side effects before clinical trials is limited by a lack of effective models for evaluating preclinical candidates for their potential to cause diarrhea, nausea, and other gut-related side effects. With its RepliGut® in vitro human intestinal model, Altis Biosystems is developing a system that could help ...
