Here, we present a protocol to measure, with high spatial resolution, the unsteady surface pressure in turbulent flows. This method demonstrates the construction of a remote microphone probe (RMP) and the determination of its frequency-dependent, complex transfer function. An analytical determination of the dynamic response is presented and validated.

We describe here the use of a pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein variant, pHluorin, to study the spatio-temporal dynamics of axon guidance receptors trafficking at the cell surface. The pHluorin-tagged receptor is expressed both in cell culture and in vivo, using electroporation of the chick embryo.
FAQs
The process links the operative field and relevant patient information to a distant specialist through real-time audiovisual communication. The specialist interprets what is shown, recommends possible actions, and clarifies decisions through two-way discussion with the operating team. This creates an active consultation pathway that can connect specialized judgment with findings observed during the procedure.
Two-way communication allows the remote clinician and operating team to exchange observations rather than relying on one-directional transmission. The team can present the operative situation, receive an interpretation or recommendation, and discuss uncertainties immediately. This interaction supports clarification of decisions and helps ensure that remote expertise remains connected to the evolving clinical context.
Remote surgical guidance can contribute to consistency by allowing specialized clinicians to participate in intraoperative discussions across different locations. Their interpretation and recommendations may help operating teams apply shared expertise when evaluating findings or choosing among actions. In medicine, this creates an opportunity to support more standardized decision-making without requiring the specialist to travel to every operating site.
A session centers on two connected information streams: real-time audiovisual views of the operative field and relevant patient information. The operating team uses these materials to present the clinical situation, while the remote specialist interprets the findings and responds through discussion. Keeping both streams available supports recommendations that relate to the actual procedure and patient context.
Its main uses include intraoperative consultation, surgical education, and support for care in settings where specialized expertise is limited. A team can seek input while a procedure is underway, use the interaction as a learning opportunity, or connect a geographically isolated site with a distant specialist. These applications extend access to expertise without requiring the specialist to be onsite.
By connecting operating teams with distant specialists, the approach can make specialized support available across geographic boundaries. This is particularly relevant where local access to expertise is limited and complex procedures may benefit from additional interpretation or decision support. The resulting connection can broaden opportunities for consultation and education while helping teams address surgical situations with remote expert input.
