Abstract:
We describe use of an improvised light source to perform cystoscopy and PUV resection while working in a resource poor setting. The light emitted from a mobile telephone LED (iPhone 6) was sufficient to perform the procedure and there was an excellent surgical outcome. We hope that this report may prove to be helpful to colleagues working in similar circumstances with limited resources.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
