Source: Xavier, A. L. R., et al. Cannula Implantation into the Cisterna Magna of Rodents. J. Vis. Exp. (2018)This video demonstrates the procedure for implanting a cannula into the cisterna magna of an anesthetized mouse. The technique involves guiding a needle-mounted cannula through the dura into the inverted triangular cisterna magna and securing it for targeted delivery into the cerebrospinal fluid.

Hydration of Cement

2024
Hydration of cement is a chemical reaction between cement particles and water. This process occurs primarily through two mechanisms: through-solution and topochemical. In the through-solution process, anhydrous compounds dissolve into their constituents, hydrates form in the solution, and then precipitate from the supersaturated solution. The topochemical process involves solid-state reactions at the cement particle surface. The through-solution process dominates the topochemical process at the...

Soundness of Cement

The soundness of cement refers to the ability of cement paste to retain its volume after setting. Unsound cement can lead to expansion and structural damage due to the presence of free lime, magnesia, and calcium sulfate. Free lime hydrates very slowly, expanding and causing unsoundness, which is difficult to detect because it intercrystallizes with other compounds. Magnesia also reacts with water, forming crystals that can disrupt the cement's structure. Calcium sulfate can create ettringite,...

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations. Nasal Cannulas A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils, connected...
FAQs
The applicator’s narrow channel supports controlled placement of mixed cement around implanted hardware and onto the skull. As the cement hardens, it creates a mechanical connection between these surfaces. That connection helps maintain implant alignment and protect the site, which is important when experiments require stable access over time.
Controlled delivery allows cement to be directed specifically around the implant and across the skull rather than applied without guidance. This placement supports a stable bond and helps preserve the intended position of the hardware. Improved positional stability contributes to more reproducible access during procedures involving infusion, recording, or behavioral testing.
The cement forms a hardened mechanical bond that connects the implanted device to the skull. This connection supports the hardware after stereotaxic placement and helps keep its alignment consistent. Because guide cannulas, electrodes, and related devices depend on stable positioning, the bond is important for maintaining experimental access to the targeted brain region.
After the guide cannula, electrode, or related device has been placed stereotaxically, the dental cement is mixed and directed with the applicator. The material is placed around the implant and onto the skull, then allowed to harden. The resulting fixation supports the implant site for subsequent neuroscience experiments.
The applicator can be used when securing a guide cannula, electrode, or related implanted device. Its role is to direct cement around the hardware and onto the skull so the implant remains mechanically supported. This makes it relevant to setups designed for drug infusion, electrophysiological recording, or behavioral experiments.
Stable cranial fixation supports repeated or sustained access to targeted brain regions during drug infusion and electrophysiological recording studies. It also helps maintain hardware positioning in behavioral experiments. By improving alignment and site protection, the approach contributes to reliable long-term investigations of neural function rather than only single procedural observations.
