In this video, we demonstrate suturing techniques — core suture and Q suture — to repair the foot flexor tendon in an ex vivo porcine model. Q sutures enhance the strength of the core suture in tendon repair and decrease gapping at the tendon repair site.

Sutures of the Skull

The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures. Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Source: James W Bonz, MD, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA Central venous access is necessary in a multitude of clinical situations for hemodynamic monitoring, medication delivery, and blood sampling. There are three veins in the body that are accessed for central venous cannulation: the internal jugular, the subclavian, and the femoral vein. Central venous access via the subclavian vein has several advantages over other possible locations. The subclavian...

FAQs
The inserted filament obstructs the middle cerebral artery, reducing blood delivery to tissue supplied by that vessel. This creates an ischemic condition in which researchers can examine downstream neuronal injury and functional deficits. Because the degree and duration of obstruction can be controlled experimentally, the model supports analysis of how vascular interruption contributes to stroke-related brain damage.
Withdrawing the filament can restore blood flow after the occlusion period, creating a reperfusion model rather than a continuously obstructed one. This distinction allows investigators to study injury associated with both reduced perfusion and subsequent restoration of circulation. Comparing these conditions helps separate mechanisms of ischemia from effects that emerge during reperfusion.
Advancing the filament to the middle cerebral artery links the vascular intervention to a defined region of cerebral blood-flow reduction. The resulting model can be used to examine neuronal injury, inflammatory responses, and functional deficits associated with ischemic stroke. This regional vascular target therefore provides a consistent framework for connecting occlusion with brain outcomes.
A temporary occlusion permits later filament withdrawal and restoration of perfusion, whereas a permanent obstruction maintains reduced blood flow. These designs address different experimental questions: the temporary model is suited to ischemia followed by reperfusion, while the permanent model focuses on injury associated with sustained vascular blockage. The choice affects which stages of stroke-related damage can be evaluated.
The procedure begins by introducing a suture-like filament through the carotid circulation and advancing it until it obstructs the middle cerebral artery. Researchers then maintain the intended occlusion condition or withdraw the filament when a reperfusion phase is required. Subsequent analyses can assess brain injury, inflammation, and functional deficits produced by the selected vascular condition.
Researchers can apply the model after establishing a controlled period of cerebral vascular occlusion, with or without subsequent reperfusion. They then evaluate whether a treatment changes outcomes such as neuronal injury, inflammatory responses, or functional deficits. Its value comes from linking an experimentally defined vascular event to measurable consequences relevant to ischemic stroke research.
