Corneal Collagen Crosslinking to Increase the Resistance of the Support Graft of the KPro Type I Against Corneal Melting
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin and ultraviolet A in aim to increase the resistance of the graft used as a support for the Boston keratoprosthesis (KPro) type I against corneal melting (keratolysis or sterile necrosis).
Ancef Dosage in Knee Arthroplasty : Tourniquet Clinical Trial
Tourniquet inflation during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is commonly used to reduce bleeding in the surgical field; thereby facilitating exposure and cementation. However, reducing circulation to the leg may also reduce antibiotic distribution to the peri-incisional tissues. Once inflated, further parenteral addition of antibiotics is not likely to achieve peak …
