An unnarrated visual follows the journey in the womb from 0 to 9 months. The Gynecology recording presents fetal development across pregnancy over about three minutes, described by its title alone. It is shared as a visual overview of development in the womb for general education.
This is a video which discusses the Vioptix tOX system of near infrared spectroscopy for the monitoring of free tissue transfer. Having information as to the health of the microvascular anastomosis is critical to improved patient outcome and free tissue survival. With better monitoring, supplementing clinical evaluation, surgeons are able to assess the health of the free tissue better and potentially improve patient outcome. The example in this video is of a free breast reconstruction where the tOX system was used to remotely monitor the free flap. The surgeon can follow the flap real time and more importantly follow trend lines to help predict flap complications.
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), also known as uterine artery embolization, is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed by an Interventional Radiologist (IR), a doctor who uses advanced imaging technology to see inside the body without surgery. UFE is often performed as an outpatient service and offers a much shorter recovery time than surgery. For more information on uterine fibroids and all your treatment options, including UFE,
Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic (or-thog-NATH-ik) surgery, corrects irregularities of the jaw bones and realigns the jaws and teeth to improve the way they work. Making these corrections may also improve your facial appearance. Jaw surgery may be a corrective option if you have jaw problems that can't be resolved with orthodontics alone. In most cases, you also have braces on your teeth before surgery and during recovery after surgery until healing and alignment are complete. Your orthodontist can work with your oral and jaw and face (maxillofacial) surgeon to determine your treatment plan.
The bilateral sagittal split osteotomy is an indispensable tool in the correction of dentofacial abnormalities. The technique has been in practice since the late 1800s, but did not reach widespread acceptance and use until several modifications were described in the 1960s and 1970s. Those modifications came from a desire to make the procedure safer, more reliable, and more predictable with less relapse. Those goals continue to stimulate innovation in the field today and have helped the procedure evolve to be a very dependable, consistent method of correction of many types of malocclusion. The operative surgeon should be well versed in the history, anatomy, technical aspects, and complications of the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy to fully understand the procedure and to counsel the patient.
This narrated video counts down ten invasive parasites and explains how each reaches the human body. The list begins with blood flukes (schistosomes) and describes how the featured parasites live in their hosts. It is an educational overview of parasitology for general viewers.
This video shows a surgical procedure to remove a large hematoma, a collection of blood that has formed outside the blood vessels. The operation demonstrates how the surgeon accesses the area and removes the collected material. It is presented as a surgery education resource for medical students and clinicians.
Draining and removal treatment for grade III acne lesions is shown in this dermatology video. The recording presents the clinical handling of inflamed acne lesions on the skin. It is shared as a skin care and dermatology education example for viewers interested in acne management procedures.
