Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

14.3K
Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Vapor Pressure

When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules move randomly about, they will occasionally collide with the surface of the condensed phase, and in some cases, these collisions will result in the molecules re-entering the condensed phase. The change from the gas phase to the liquid is called condensation. When the rate of condensation becomes equal to the rate of vaporization, neither the amount of the liquid nor the amount of the vapor...

Definition and Measurement of Pressure: Atmospheric Pressure, Barometer, and Manometer

43.6K
Gas pressure is caused by force exerted by gas molecules colliding with the surfaces of objects. Although the force of each collision is very small, any surface of an appreciable area experiences a large number of collisions in a short time, which can result in high pressure.

Constant Pressure Calorimetry

97.8K
Calorimetry is a technique used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process or to measure the heat transferred to or from a substance. The heat is exchanged with a calibrated and insulated device called the calorimeter. Calorimetry experiments are based on the assumption that there is no heat exchange between the insulated calorimeter and the external environment. The well-insulated calorimeters prevent the transfer of heat between the calorimeter and its external...

Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure of Solutions

46.8K
A number of natural and synthetic materials exhibit selective permeation, meaning that only molecules or ions of a certain size, shape, polarity, charge, and so forth, are capable of passing through (permeating) the material. Biological cell membranes provide elegant examples of selective permeation in nature, while dialysis tubing used to remove metabolic wastes from blood is a more simplistic technological example. Regardless of how they may be fabricated, these materials are generally...

Summary

A new technique visualizes brain clots in middle cerebral artery (M2) occlusions using the aspiration catheter itself. This safe method aids mechanical thrombectomy by clearly outlining the thrombus, improving reperfusion success.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Interventional Neuroradiology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Accurate thrombus localization in M2 segment occlusions is crucial for successful mechanical thrombectomy.
  • Conventional methods using microcatheter contrast injections carry risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel visualization technique for thrombus delineation in M2 occlusions.
  • To minimize risks associated with traditional contrast injection methods.

Main Methods:

  • Aspiration catheter system used for direct thrombus visualization.
  • Low-pressure contrast injection through the intermediate catheter after microcatheter/guidewire withdrawal.
  • Observation of a meniscus sign indicating catheter-thrombus contact.

Main Results:

  • Successful visualization of the thrombus proximal surface as a meniscus sign.
  • Complete reperfusion (TICI grade 3) achieved in 2 aspiration passes.
  • No procedural complications observed during aspiration thrombectomy.

Conclusions:

  • The novel technique provides a simple, safe, and effective method for direct thrombus visualization in M2 occlusions.
  • Utilizing the intermediate catheter for controlled injection reduces distal embolization risk and simplifies workflow.
  • Preliminary evidence suggests potential for enhanced first-pass recanalization success, warranting further investigation.
