Vitrification of human early cavitating and deflated expanded blastocysts: clinical outcome of 474 cycles
Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics, 11/02/2009

Raju GAR et al. – Early cavitating blastocyst would be the ideal stage for cryopreservation of human blastocysts as it has higher survival rate and avoids additional invasive procedures [more...]

Noninvasive Thrombolysis Using Pulsed Ultrasound Cavitation Therapy
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 10/27/2009

Maxwell AD et al. – Blood clots weighing 330mg were completely broken down by histotripsy in 1.5 to 5min. The clot was fractionated to debris with >96% weight smaller than 5 micro m diameter. Histotripsy thrombolysis ... flow as well as in static saline. Additionally, authors observed that fluid flow generated by a cavitation cloud can attract, trap and further break down clot fragments. This phenomenon may provide a noninvasive method to filter and eliminate hazardous emboli during thrombolysis. [more...]

Factors influencing time to smear conversion in patients with smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis
Respirology, 08/18/2009

al. – This analysis revealed that 11.1% of tuberculosis patients remained smear–positive after 2 months of treatment. Patients with cavitation, higher smear grading and those who had not used isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide continuously in the initial treatment phase [more...]

Lung Mass Appearing as a Dilated Left Ventricle on Tc-99m Tetrofosmin Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 10/07/2009

Gnanasegaran G et al. – The myocardial perfusion scan revealed a large cavitated lesion mimicking a dilated left ventricle and the CT scan revealed a large mass in the left lung with central necrosis displacing the heart and [more...]

Pain and swelling re-occurs at gunshot wound site
JAAPA, 08/10/2009

and was not taking any medications...The correct diagnosis is a ruptured aneurysm of the ulnar artery. The aneurysm was most likely formed by cavitation and/or blast forces from the gunshot wound. The patient recalled striking the palm of his left hand on a car door the day the swelling began. This [more...]

Validity and Reproducibility of ICDAS II in Primary Teeth
Caries Research, 11/13/2009

System) criteria in primary teeth. Three trained examiners independently examined 112 extracted primary molars, ranging from clinically sound to cavitated, set up in groups of 4 to mimic their anatomical positions. The validity and reproducibility of the ICDAS II criteria were acceptable when [more...]
