BACKGROUND: The accurate assessment of peripheral venous flow is important for the early diagnosis and treatment of disorders such as deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) which is a major cause of post-thrombotic syndrome or even death due to pulmonary embolism. The aim of this work is to quantitatively determine blood flow in deep veins during rest and muscular exercise using a novel real-time magnetic res...
Glass-free three-dimensional (3D) endoscopic provide excellent depth perception without decreasing light quality and fog formation. Herein we report our first case-serial of trans-oral endoscopic thyroidectomy by means of our newly developed glasses-free 3D endoscopic system. Four patients with thyroid goiter undergone trans-oral glasses-free 3D endosocpic thyroidectomy were reviewed. Mean BMI of ...
