A multicenter study on the perineal versus penoscrotal approach for implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter: cuff size and control of male stress urinary incontinence.

14 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: In a single center retrospective study we previously reported superior dry rates and fewer artificial urinary sphincter revisions when the sphincter cuff was placed via the traditional perineal approach compared with a penoscrotal approach. ... Read more...

Implantation of an atelocollagen sheet for the treatment of vocal fold scarring and sulcus vocalis.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: The management of vocal fold scarring and sulcus vocalis is challenging. These disorders are thought to be fibroplastic anomalies in the cover portion of the vocal fold that cause deterioration of the vibratory properties of the vocal ... Read more...

Automatic detection of supporting device positioning in intensive care unit radiography.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: This paper presents a computer-aided method for automatic detection of the positioning of endotracheal, feeding and nasogastric tubes, and the identification of tube types in radiography for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. ... Read more...
