Neurulation

Neurulation

Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the anterior...

Ureters

Ureters

The ureters are retroperitoneal tubes located on either side of the vertebral column. They are responsible for transporting urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. These tubes have thick walls and are approximately 25-30 cm long. Their diameter is around 10 mm at the renal pelvis, gradually narrowing to 1 mm as the ureter obliquely enters the posterior bladder wall through the ureteric orifices. The shape of these orifices is slit-like, which helps to prevent urine backflow toward the...

Imaging Studies V: Intravenous Urography and Retrograde Pyelography

IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Medical Technology
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Neuronavigation, a vital image-guided technique in neurosurgery, has seen limited adoption in Uruguay due to high costs.
Despite global use for over a decade, local implementation faced financial barriers.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and test the first experimental neuronavigation system in Uruguay.
To develop a cost-effective prototype for image-guided neurosurgery.

Main Methods:

Development of a neuronavigation prototype utilizing optical tracking equipment.
Implementation of the open-source Image Guided Surgery Toolkit (IGSTK) software.
Conducting experimental trials in collaboration with academic and clinical institutions.

Main Results:

Successful development and initial testing of a novel neuronavigation prototype.
Demonstration of feasibility for image-guided neurosurgery in Uruguay.

Conclusions:

The project successfully initiated neuronavigation trials in Uruguay, overcoming previous cost barriers.
The developed prototype shows promise for advancing neurosurgical procedures through accessible image guidance.
