Interventional endoscopy (e.g., bronchoscopy, colonoscopy, laparoscopy, cystoscopy) is a widely performed procedure that involves either diagnosis of suspicious lesions or guidance for minimally invasive surgery in a variety of organs within the body cavity. Endoscopy may also be used to guide the introduction of certain items (e.g., stents) into t...

As minimally invasive surgical techniques progress, the demand for efficient, reliable methods for vascular ligation and tissue closure becomes pronounced. The surgical advantages of energy-based vessel sealing exceed those of traditional, compression-based ligatures in procedures sensitive to duration, foreign bodies, and recovery time alike. Alth...

Background and aims. Selective cannulation of the desired duct is a key element in ERCP procedures and an important step in the training of fellows. However, there is limited data about technical success and patient safety for ERCPs conducted in a training setting.We aimed to evaluate the impact of trainee involvement on the cannulation technique a...
Cardiovascular disease are a public health big problem. The need for understanding cardiac repair mechanism has increased the number of researches biologic therapy field. In this context, teleost fish show as a experimental model, as they have morpho-functional and immunologic homology whit mammals. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) has been use...
Upper respiratory diseases affecting pharynx, larynx and trachea may be presented with clinical signs with difficulty diagnostic. The current techniques of videodiagnosis allow the differentiation of these alterations with more accuracy. The objective of this study was to characterize videolaryngoscopy as an important tool to help accurate diagnosi...
