There are so many misconceptions arise when you talk about a person having an autopsy. First of all people think that everyone has an autopsy upon the calling of death. Second people think that person is automatic identified and what happens to their personal effects care for? Next, people think that the organs are kept and donated to other individuals. Another question I get all the time is that is there time where the body will sit up on its own after death. Finally is that what happens to…

Is Robotic Surgery Safe? Robotic surgery was introduced some twenty years ago and completely revolutionized the way we perform minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. This was a huge improvement over the open surgery which had previously been done because it does not require large, painful, slow-healing incisions (Keith Kirkpatrick 1). However, these primitive robotic surgical systems were very challenging to use and there were very few applications which they could actually be used…
In our series of five patients, good functional outcome was achieved. One patient has minimal trauma to the head of the femur because of the injury because of trocar but there was no injury to labrum or any other complication. One of the main drawbacks of the study was the short follow-up. The hip arthroscopic procedure has a long learning curve, requiring specially designed instrumentations. There are recent…
cholecystectomy in patients with situs inversus totalis are reported. To deal with this eccentric anatomy of gall bladder, it is required to highlight the importance of a new pre-operatory planning, which involves a repositioning of the surgical team and the trocars in the left side of the abdomen. The standard four port technique was used in our case as recommended and reported in other studies (3.4,5,6). In order to optimize the surgical procedure in our operation, the operative equipment,…
Implementation of optical fiber sensor in biomedical Optical fiber sensor for biomedical application Applications for biomedical sensors can be named in vivo or in vitro. In vivo alludes to application on an entire, living life form, for example, a human patient; in vitro alludes to testing outside the body, for example, research facility blood tests. From the point of view of how sensors are connected to a patient or organic framework, they can be named noninvasive, reaching (skin surface),…
Native American mortuary practices have evolved throughout time; mortuary changes coincide with changes in technology, sedentism, and religious customs. Customs evolve over time in every facet of society; however, mortuary practices are often ignored by the main piece of a population. As an employee of James Funeral Home I have learned how little the majority of the culture knows about preparing and processing their deceased loved ones. As an insider, my interest was piqued into the past…
