PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 1-Dec-2014 Contact: Connie Hughes Connie.Hughes@wolterskluwer.com 646-674-6348 Wolters Kluwer Health @WKHealth December 1, 2014 - A study using intricate fiber dissection techniques provides new insights into the deep anatomy of the human brainstem--and helps to define "safe entry zones" for neurosurgeons performing brainstem surgery, according to a special article published in Operative Neurosurgery, a quarterly supplement to Neurosurgery, official journal of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. These publications are published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health. Neurosurgeons Dr. Kaan Yagmurlu and Dr. Albert L. Rhoton, Jr, of University of Florida, Gainesville, and colleagues performed fiber tract dissections, along with three-dimensional photography, to explore and document the complex anatomy of the brainstem. "We hope that the use of this knowledge will make surgical entry into the brainstem more accurate and safe," Dr. Rhoton and coauthors write. Fiber Tract Dissections Guide Safe Routes for Brainstem Surgery Working under the operating microscope, the researchers performed meticulous dissections of human brainstem specimens. They used a technique called fiber tract dissection, which traces the complex course of the nerve fibers that make up the brainstem. At each step of the dissection, 3-D photographs were obtained. In some areas, … Continue reading →

Mark Campbell developed multimedia content and software for the doctor to show still images and video to the patient A Galway entrepreneur has come up with an effective way to improve the clarity of doctor-patient discussions and he is about to embark on a crowdfunding campaign to raise a six-figure sum to help expand the business into the US. Mark Campbell set up Pocket Anatomy in 2011 to help tackle a long-standing problem with the patient-doctor relationship communications. We have developed a mobile, medical software solution to deal with the problem that patients typically absorb only about 14 per cent of what is said to them by the doctor, he explains. Most people remember by seeing but exchanges with the doctor are almost always verbal. Mr Campbell overcame this by developing multimedia content and software for the doctor to show still images and video to the patient. This allows the doctor to show the patient and increase what they take up, he says. The software also allows the exchanges to be recorded and the system keeps the multimedia presentation and any voice exchanges between the two in a file that can go into the patients medical records, Mr Campbell explains. … Continue reading →
