To prospectively compare outcomes in children over age 2 with obstructive adenotonsillar hypertrophy when tonsillectomy is performed utilizing an intracapsular microdebrider technique versus low-wattage electrocautery technique.
Wide-field Na+ imaging was performed utilizing a variable scan digital imaging system (Nikon NIS-Elements v4.3, Nikon) attached to an upright microscope (Nikon Eclipse FN-PT, Nikon GmbH).
The optimization step was performed utilizing a two-level full factorial design involving the following factors: concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide volumes, and microwave-assisted digestion temperature.
All experiments were performed utilizing a block design with 6 active epochs alternating with 6 rest conditions lasting 34 s each.
The test was performed utilizing a special test cell that allows the control of many parameters (temperature, humidity, illumination, etc). in order to obtain a set of realistic test conditions carefully defining both the indoor and outdoor environments.
To develop a tissue-engineered bioartificial liver (BAL), perfusion cultures of mouse and pig fetal liver cells (FLCs) immobilized within a three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffold were performed utilizing a packed-bed reactor system.
VAL tests are performed utilizing a straight-line distribution with a sequence length of 2 ⋅ 105 load-cycles and an omission level of 19% of the maximum stress range.
In this work, viscoelastic, isothermal extrusion film casting simulations have been performed utilizing a 1D membrane model and the viscoelastic modified Leonov model as the constitutive equation in order to elucidate the role of planar to uniaxial extensional viscosity ratio, extensional strain hardening and Deborah number on the neck-in phenomenon.
These tests were performed utilizing a dynamic servo hydraulic testing machine (HCT 25-400, Zwick/Roell, Germany).
Migraine ascertainment in the discovery cohorts was primarily by means of questionnaires, and genotyping was performed utilizing a variety of genotyping platforms.
