Source: James W Bonz, MD, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA A surgical airway procedure is indicated when other forms of endotracheal intubation have failed and ventilation is worsening or not possible. This is the feared "can't intubate, can't ventilate" scenario, and in the emergency setting, cricothyrotomy is the surgical procedure of choice. Cricothyrotomy is preferred over tracheotomy because of the lower risk of complications, the predictable anatomy...

Passaging Cells

Cell lines are frequently used in biomedical experiments, as they allow rapid culture and expansion of cell types for experimental analysis. Cell lines are cultured under similar conditions when compared to freshly-isolated, or primary, cells, but with some basic important differences: (i) cell lines require their own specific growth factor cocktails and (ii) their growth must be more closely monitored than primary cells, as the mutations that allow them to be grown indefinitely also can...

The ability to manipulate human neural stem/precursor cells (hNSPCs) in vitro allows to investigate their utility as cell transplants for therapeutic purposes and to explore human neural development. This protocol presents a method of culturing and passaging hNSPCs in hopes of increasing reproducibility of human stem cell research.

Assessment of Neuromuscular Function Using Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

We present a protocol to assess changes in neuromuscular function. Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a non-invasive method that evokes muscular responses. Electrophysiological and mechanical properties of these responses permit the evaluation of neuromuscular function from brain to muscle (supra-spinal, spinal and peripheral levels).
FAQs
The key mechanical sequence is tissue capture, approximation, and fixation. A needle or suture-passing device places the suture through the intended soft-tissue region, allowing tissue structures to be brought together or stabilized. Once positioning is satisfactory, the suture ends are tied or fixed, creating the final repair or support without requiring a larger incision.
Guidance directs the needle or passing device through the target tissue and helps control where the suture engages the repair site. This positioning is important because the suture must capture the relevant tissue before the ends are secured. Accurate passage supports the technique’s emphasis on precision and helps limit unnecessary disruption to nearby structures.
Using small skin punctures rather than a larger incision can reduce disruption at the access site and to surrounding structures. In the context of soft-tissue repair, this limited approach may contribute to smaller wounds and efficient postoperative recovery. The benefit depends on placing and securing the suture accurately within the intended tissue.
The procedure begins by guiding a needle or suture-passing device through a small skin puncture toward the target tissue. The suture is then passed so it captures the tissue, after which the tissue can be approximated or stabilized. Finally, the suture ends are tied or fixed to complete the repair or fixation.
The essential components are a suture and either a needle or a suture-passing device, used through small skin punctures. The selected instrument provides a route for placing the suture through soft tissue, while the suture supplies the means to approximate, capture, or secure the tissue. The approach avoids dependence on a larger surgical incision.
Medical applications include repairs and stabilization involving tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It is relevant when tissue must be captured, brought together, or secured while limiting disruption around the repair site. Its minimally invasive access can support smaller wounds and may contribute to efficient postoperative recovery after the soft-tissue procedure.
