Abstract
We report accidental skin burns caused by the spark of electric cautery. The patient was a 29-year-old (50 kg, 158 cm, physical status ASA1) woman who underwent laparotomy for acute abdomen. Anesthesia was induced and tracheal intubation was performed without trouble. Anesthesia was maintained with...

Abstract
About half, 50.1%, of treatment was the application of topical trichloroacetic acid; followed by podophylline in the proportion of 35.5%. While the electric cauterization and imiquimod applications were uncommon therapy. Two-fifth ofthe subjects, 40.7%, was completely cured, and the remaining cases...

Abstract
We conducted a pilot study of vasectomy by epithelial curettage with a novel microcurette called the Vas-X in 12 normal men requesting elective sterilization. Seminal fluid analysis was obtained monthly after the procedure for 6 months. Pain was assessed by questionnaire. Three months after the proc...

Abstract
We report the anesthetic management in a 13-year-old girl with Joubert syndrome, scheduled for cauterization of nasal mucosa under general anesthesia. She had episodes of tachypnea and apnea. Oral midazolam 10 mg and famotidine 20 mg were administered 30 min before surgery. Anesthesia was induced an...

Abstract
I focus on the historical analysis of the process of the introduction and acceptance of modem medical techniques in Japan from the standpoints of medical assessments by Japanese doctors at that time. The "écraseur" and "galvanic cautery" are surgical instruments which were introduced into Japan fro...

Abstract
Our previous study has pointed that pain stimulation induced AVP increase in the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM), which plays a role in pain modulation. The present study was designed to investigate the source of AVP in the rat NRM during pain process using the methods of nucleus push-pull perfusion and...

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In epistaxis, anterior bleeding points are easily cauterised under direct vision, but those which occur in the posterior nose present a greater challenge. Standard cautery techniques limit simultaneous use of other equipment in the narrow posterior nose. METHODS: This article presents...

NOTES nephrectomy using MAGS instrumentation is feasible. We believe this approach improves shortcomings of previously reported NOTES nephrectomies in that triangulation, instrument fidelity, and visualization are preserved while hilar ligation is performed using a conventional stapler without need...

Abstract
Improvements in pain, drainage, and tissue damage in each group were significant (p<0.001). Time to complete healing and durations of drainage and tissue damage were significantly shorter in patients receiving 1-minute phenol application (p<0.001), and the remaining groups did not differ in this res...

Abstract
SPA was generally (80%) forming branches within SPF before entering into the nasal cavity. In 20% of the specimens, SPF was located superior to the horizontal lamella of the middle turbinate, and accessory foramen was present in 10%. In 10% of the cases, the posterior lateral nasal branch was situat...

Abstract
Three transurethral procedures cause cautery artifacts of varying grades. The application of TURP seems to cause more severe artifacts and PKRP and PKVP procedures seem to result in a deeper coagulation zone in the residual prostatic tissue.

Abstract
Creation of a Boari flap is an option for ureteral reimplantation with high transection or stricture of the ureter. The benefits of laparoscopic surgery include decreased blood loss, quicker recovery time, and improved cosmesis. Robot-assisted surgery offers intraoperative advantages, including thre...

Two deaths occurred. The other 94 patients (132 ears) finished a 2-year follow-up. In group 1, four ears (8.9%) were cured after the first treatment and 17 ears overall (37.8%) were cured by the end of the follow-up. Twenty ears (44.4%) had persistent fluid, two ears (4.4%) developed chronic suppura...

Abstract
We have previously found that the linker protein in HSCs is exclusively moesin. Here, we describe HSC migration and fibrogenesis in moesin-deficient mice. We developed an acute liver injury model that involved focal thermal denaturation and common bile duct ligation. HSC migration and collagen depos...

In our experience, avoidance of thermal injury produces nearly a 5-fold improvement in early return of sexual function. Furthermore, thermal injury appears to induce a dense but largely recoverable injury after 2 years. In contrast to common belief, our results demonstrated that preservation of just...
