Intraoperative video consultation expedites and improves surgical care. Here, we present a case where intraoperative video consultation between a rural hospital and an academic hepatobiliary surgeon facilitated immediate diagnosis of bile duct transection during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, direct to operating room transfer between centers, and injury repair with robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Light travels at different speeds depending on the material through which it is propagating. When light travels from one material to another, it will either slow down or speed up. In order to conserve energy and momentum, the light must change the direction in which it propagates. This bending of light is known as refraction. Some fraction of...

This paper presents the protocols and clinical validation data for using a smartphone app to subjectively measure refractive...

This protocol describes the fabrication of microfluidic devices from MY133-V2000 to eliminate artifacts that often arise in microchannels due to the mismatching refractive indices between microchannel structures and an aqueous solution. This protocol uses an acrylic holder to compress the encapsulated device, improving adhesion both chemically and...

Although researchers are generally knowledgeable about procedures and safety precautions required for biosafety level 1 or 2 (BSL-1/2) experiments, they may not be familiar with experimental procedures in BSL-4 suit laboratories. This article provides a detailed visual demonstration of BSL-4 suit laboratory systems check, laboratory entry, movement, and exit...
