Laser treatment of hemangiomas using spectroscopic feedback : the "smart scalpel"
… robotic surgical tool (called the "Smart Scalpel") as an alternative approach to treatment of skin hemangiomas like nevus flammus (port wine stain or PWS). Current PWS phototherapy relies on selective absorption of optical radiation by the ectactic blood vessels in a PWS resulting in …

Evaluation of the Harmonic Scalpel for Laparoscopic Bilateral Ovariectomy in Standing Horses
… anatomy of the reproductive tract. The Harmonic Scalpel (an ultrasonically activated instrument) was used to transect the ovarian pedicle and to obtain hemostasis simultaneously. Necropsy was performed on 4 mares 3 days after surgery and 30 days following surgery on the remaining 4 mares. Gross …

Colorado microdissection needle versus cold steel scalpel for incisions in third molar surgery
This study compares the CMN to the steel scalpel by assessing incision time, incisional blood loss, postoperative pain, wound healing, and the incidence of lingual and long buccal nerve injury. Twenty standardised cases were included in an analytical prospective case series. Each case had one side …

Comparison of Postoperative Pain Following Ovariohysterectomy via Harmonic Scalpel-Assisted Laparoscopy Versus Traditional Celiotomy In Dogs
… pain following ovariohysterectomy via harmonic scalpel assisted laparoscopy (HALO) and traditional ovariohysterectomy (OVH) in dogs. The study was designed as a randomized, blinded, prospective study. Sixteen, purpose-bred, intact female, Beagle dogs were used to complete the study. Dogs were …

Minimizing electron optical aberrations
… instruments, especially used for lithography (SCALPEL) and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM). Since the invention by Berger and Gibson [1) in 1989, SCALPEL (SCattering with Angular Limitation in Projection Electron-Beam Lithography) has attracted much attention as a candidate for the …

Stochastic Space-Charge in Projection Electron Lithography and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy
… Limitation Projection Electron Lithography (SCALPEL) and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). These particular technologies were chosen for their technological relevance and their distinct mechanisms of image formation--SCALPEL exploits amplitude contrast while HRTEM …

The Effect of Corticision on The Rate of Orthodontic Tooth Movement in Rats
… manipulation of the alveolar bone with a scalpel incision without flap reflection.</p> <p>Since any manipulation of alveolar bone can potentially increase RAP and hence accelerate bone remodeling, we hypothesize that corticision will increase the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. In …

The use of optical coherence tomography to enhance surgical margin assessment for canine mast cell tumors
… cadavers. Blood pooling, hemostatic crushing, scalpel blade cut, monopolar electrosurgery, bipolar vessel sealing device and ultrasonic energy surgical artifacts were induced on each tissue type. Each specimen was interrogated with OCT and subsequently histologically processed. Results: The …

Clinical problems in thyroid surgery
… operation technique vs. ultracision (Harmonic Scalpel(HS)) when performing TT. In Paper II, we compared the risk for hypocalcaemia between patients with GD and MNG undergoing TT. In Paper III, data were extracted from the Scandinavian Quality Register for Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery (SQRTP) …

A novel plasma etching and emission monitoring system (PEEMS) to assess protein and lipid spoilation for hydrogel contact lenses
… The technique is applied as a 'molecular' scalpel, removing known amounts of material from the target. In this case from both the anterior .and posterior surfaces of a 'soft' contact lens. The residual material is then characterised by other analytical techniques such as UV/visible .and …

Corrupted MP4 carving using MP4-karver
… many existing tools and techniques such as Scalpel’s, PhotoRec, Bi-Fragment Gap Carving (BGC), Smart Carving and Frame Based Carving attempt to carve the videos files, but some of the carved videos files are usually corrupted or damaged and not playable. However, there is still room for …

"Is it time we move through or space?": literary anachronism and anachorism in the novels of Elizabeth Taylor
… the study introduces the metaphor of ‘the scalpel within the kid glove’, which points both to the way Taylor writes and to a way of reading her. The distinct contribution the thesis makes to current scholarship is to demonstrate that Taylor’s novels are altogether more strange, more angry, …
