OBJECTIVE
To investigate the usefulness of embolising cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with a cellulose acetate polymer solution before surgical resection.
METHODS
The cases of 12 patients with AVMs treated by embolisation before surgical resection were renewed. Two types of cellulose
BACKGROUND
In patients with suspected heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) who need renal replacement therapy, a nonheparin anticoagulant has to be chosen to prevent thrombosis in the extracorporeal circuit. Danaparoid, a low-molecular-weight heparinoid consisting of heparan sulphate, dermatan
Hemorrhage from the traumatized spleen needs surgical intervention if the patient's cardiovascular status is unstable and not stabilizing with medical support. It is well recognized that salvage of the injured spleen is preferable to splenectomy because of risks of overwhelming postsplenectomy
CONCLUSIONS
To test the usefulness of a cellulose acetate polymer(CAP) solution for brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), we analyzed the clinical and histological results of patients with AVMs embolized using CAP solution. We reviewed the cases of six patients with cerebral AVMs treated by
OBJECTIVE
A cellulose acetate polymer (CAP) solution was hypothesized to be useful for the embolization of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). To investigate this possibility, we analyzed the clinical, radiological, and histological results of patients with AVMs embolized by using a CAP
METHODS
Experimental study.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of peridural parecoxib-soaked absorbable gelatin sponge, and cellulose membrane on peridural fibrosis prevention in an animal model.
BACKGROUND
Postoperative peridural fibrosis is one of the causes of failed back surgery
BACKGROUND
Squamous intraepithelial lesions are more prevalent in women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) compared with immunocompetent women. Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is commonly used to treat squamous intraepithelial lesions because it may be performed as
OBJECTIVE
To compare removing teratomas through a culdotomy opening or through an enlarged port wound.
METHODS
Prospective, randomized trial (Canadian Task Force classification I).
METHODS
Veterans Hospital.
METHODS
Thirty-one women with mature teratomas identified by ultrasound examination and
Repeated transfusions with platelets from randomly selected donors lead to HLA alloimmunization in about 50% of patients due to lymphocyte contamination of platelet concentrates. Attempts to remove the leukocytes from the platelet concentrates by additional centrifugation steps led to substantial
HLA alloimmunization is a major problem for thrombocytopenic patients receiving long-term platelet support. It is caused by white cells (WBCs) that are present as contaminants in platelet concentrates (PCs). Recent data have shown that filtration is an effective means to reduce WBC contamination,
Stachybotrys chartarum is a cellulose-decaying fungus with worldwide distribution. It grows well at room temperature and with humidity above 93%. S. chatarum requires special media high in cellulose and low in sugar and nitrogen to compete with Penicillium and Aspergillus. Ninety percent of
OBJECTIVE
To compare the results of removing mature teratoma with laparoscopy or without laparoscopy.
METHODS
A prospective, randomised trial.
METHODS
Medical centre.
METHODS
Seventy-nine women with mature teratomas identified using results of ultrasound examinations and biochemical
OBJECTIVE
Fibrocaps is a dry powder fibrin sealant containing human plasma-derived fibrinogen and thrombin. The safety, efficacy, and application methods for Fibrocaps were evaluated in an exploratory, first-in-human, noncomparative, clinical study.
METHODS
Patients with minor bleeding/oozing after
Commercially available 250-mg penicillamine tablets were converted into enteric-coated tablets. Based on in vitro dissolution and disintegration tests, tablets coated with five layers of a cellulose acetate phthalate formulation by a modified pan coating technique were judged to be superior to other
BACKGROUND
Haemostasis remains the greatest challenge during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. We describe the use of the Vivostat system helping effective haemostasis during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN).
METHODS
Twenty-eight patients underwent LPN. Autologous fibrin sealant was prepared
