The Change in Vaginal Axis on MRI After Uterus Preserving Laparoscopic Lateral Mesh Suspension

Prolapse GenitalAnatomical Pathological Condition

Laparoscopic lateral mesh suspension is emerged as a practical, safe and feasible alternative to sacropexy to treat female genital apical prolapse. Investigators hypothesized that uterus-preserving lateral suspension provides a better anatomical positioning.

Effectiveness of Using 3D Printed Models to Educate Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose, Nose and Throat (ENT))...

Within the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) medical space, a relatively small number of patients follow through with elective surgeries to fix ailments like a deviated septum or occluded sinus passage. Patient understanding of their diagnosis and treatment plan is integral to compliance, which ultimately yields improved medical outcomes and better quality of life. Here the investigators report the usage of advanced inkjet 3D printing methods to develop a multimaterial replica of the patient's nasal sinus anatomy, derived from clinical X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) data. The final patient education model was developed over several iterations to optimize material properties, anatomical accuracy and overall display. A two arm, single center, randomized, prospective study was then performed in which 50 ENT surgical candidates (and an associated control group, n = 50) were given an explanation of their anatomy, disease state, and treatment options using the education model as an aid. Each patient was then surveyed for their self-rated understanding of their anatomy, disease, and treatment options.

Assessment of Tele-expertise for Second Medical Opinion on Pathological Diagnosis

Anatomical Pathological Condition

The purpose of this study is to determine whether digitalizing pathological slides and let it accessible on a server for a second medical opinion (tele-expertise) would reduce the time to diagnosis.

The Study of Human Atherosclerosis by Polarization-Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography

Pathological ConditionsAnatomical

Atherosclerosis is unquestionably the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries, and the world-wide importance of acute vascular syndromes is increasing. Rupture of atherosclerotic plaque has been identified as the proximate event in the majority of cases of acute ischemic syndromes. Therefore, modalities capable of characterizing the atherosclerotic lesion may be helpful in understanding its natural history and detecting lesions with high risk for acute events. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful tool capable of tomographic imaging based on low coherence interferometry. It is analogous to ultrasound imaging except that it uses infrared light instead of sound. Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) combines the advantages of OCT with additional image contrast of the sample. The added contrast is based on the ability of PS-OCT to detect the birefringent properties of a sample (phase retardation and fast-axis orientation) simultaneously. The goals of this project are: 1) to examine whether PS-OCT is an acceptable tool for the characterization of typical plaque constituents; and 2) to explain the correlation between birefringence and forming or rupture of a plaque; and 3) to establish a quantitative PS-OCT image criteria for atherosclerotic plaque characterization in vitro.
