  Ventricular drainage sets use a combination of gravity and intercerebral pressure to drain CSF. The drainage rate depends on the height at which the External Ventricular Drain (EVD) system is placed relative to the patient's anatomy. Neurosurgeons or neurointensivists use EVD to divert fluid from the ventricles of the brain and allow for monitoring of intracranial pressure. Ventricular drainage sets can be used following tumor surgery, until the CSF circulation is re-established and to drain infected CSF during the treatment of meningitis. It is also used in patients with a severe head injury to provide both a means of measuring continuous intracranial pressure and allowing CSF drainage to treat raised continuous intracranial pressure. To an EVD, the patient is positioned with head/torso at 45° angle relative to the floor and his/her frontal scalp is shaved. Surgeons mark Kocher point (approximately 11 cm from the nasion and 3 cm from the midpupillary line) and prepp and dra

  There are several methods of infection control and prevention, including personal hygiene practices, general practices of health care and institutional practices relating to safe handling of hazardous substances.

Medical gloves today are made of many different polymers such as nitrile, polyvinyl chloride, latex, and neoprene; they also come in powdered, or ready-to-use form with corn starch as a lubricant, making them simpler to put on the patient's hands. High-quality GCC medical gloves are often exam-grade gloves that are resistant to chemicals. For example, nitrate, which is the strongest and most widely-used plastic for medical use, is also the most sensitive to chemicals. Nitrile gloves offer outstanding comfort, but they also offer ease of use for those doing the exam-grade gloves job on their own. Some exam-grade gloves to

  Single-use cryoablation devices are designed for treating single tumor sites with great flexibility and portability. These devices can be easily integrated into existing clinical work or can be used in on-site treatment facilities. Single-use devices provide excellent tumor control and management for lung cancers, skin cancers, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, leukemia, bone cancers, head and neck cancers, cervical cancers, and other solid tumors. Localized cryoablation is a process of injecting high-temperature gas in the direction of the tumor to destroy the affected tissues. This process results in the CO2 injection, which aids in localizing the tumor and preventing its spread to other areas. A local progression of the disease is prevented because the heat generated damages tumor cells and prevents them from replicating. This therapy has good control over metastasis. Its effects are most effective during the first one to three weeks of treatment and the post-operative symptom

  Human Reproductive Technologies have made major leaps and bounds over the past half-decade. Many couples are now opting to use certain procedures that involve the use of synthetic eggs and sperm, rather than traditional infertile male sperm. It's also possible for a man to impregnate a female through the use of a robotic-assisted reproductive technologies implant. Human Reproductive Technology (HRT) is the science of using human reproductive systems to help create new human life. It includes Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), which is a direct form of intercourse where sperm and egg are inserted directly into the uterus of the woman. Human sperm have the ability to swim and survive for quite some time, and they're the ones that a woman is most attracted to. IUI is a direct form of intercourse that involves the direct introduction of sperm into the woman's body. This is usually combined with the aid of Vitro fertilization, where specific genetic materials are inserted into

  Cell surface markers are used all over the world including in regions such as Germany, Mexico, and Japan. Cell surface markers have an important role in the study of gene expression. Gene expression is a process by which specific genes in a cell proliferate and multiply. It involves the coordinated movement of numerous genes through the cytoplasm of the cell. The cytoplasm is the water-like substance that fills all vesicles and pores of a cell. There are many different types of cytoplasm that regulate the development, growth, and maintenance of living organisms. Differentiation occurs when new cells are produced. Cytotoxicity, the accumulation of cytoplasmic toxins, results in the accumulation of an excessive amount of RNases and other molecules. The accumulation of these harmful elements in the cytoplasm results in the denaturation of the cell and the decline in its ability to divide. This process of cell differentiation is important for the development of new disease-resistant ce

  A medical dynamometer is basically a device used to measure the mechanical strength of a body part or appliance. It is usually used for testing the muscular strength, the power output of a particular motor or appliance, the distance travelled by an object or vehicle, and many other performance-related tasks.
