A Mini-Invasive Internal Fixation Technique for Studying Immobilization-Induced Knee Flexion Contracture in Rats05:34

A Mini-Invasive Internal Fixation Technique for Studying Immobilization-Induced Knee Flexion Contracture in Rats

Here, we present a protocol to describe a minimally invasive technique for knee joint immobilization in a rat model. This reproducible protocol, basing on muscle-gap separation modus and the mini-incision skill, is suitable for studying the underlying molecular mechanism of acquired joint...

Less-Invasive Technique for Non-stabilized Mandibular Fracture in Mouse Models

This protocol presents a comprehensive and efficient method for analyzing mandibular bone repair. We describe a reproducible technique for non-stabilized mandibular fracture in a mouse model, allowing analysis of the process of endochondral bone repair with minimal tissue damage and bone loss.

Establishing a Mouse Contusion Spinal Cord Injury Model Based on a Minimally Invasive Technique

Minimally invasive techniques and a simple laboratory device improve the reproducibility of the spinal cord injury model by reducing operative damage to the experimental animals and allowing anatomical morphology maintenance. The method is worthwhile because the reliable results and reproducible procedure facilitate investigations of the mechanisms of disease...

A Minimally Invasive, Fast Spinal Cord Lateral Hemisection Technique for Modeling Open Spinal Cord Injuries in Rats

Here, we describe a new, fast technique modeling open spinal cord injury in rats that eliminates laminectomy. Lateral hemisection is performed while viewing through a microscope. The technique is versatile and can also be used in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spinal cord of other...

Multidisciplinary Approach to Obesity Management: A Case Report05:10

Multidisciplinary Approach to Obesity Management: A Case Report

Obesity care is best delivered after in-depth initial screening and evaluation, using an individualized approach comprising multidisciplinary care, evidence-based lifestyle behavioral change strategies, and frequent follow-up. We illustrate a successful 6 month course of weight loss treatment, resulting in reversal of obesity-related chronic conditions and improvement in diet, sleep, mood, and physical fitness.
