Layers of the epidermis

Lecture showing the 5 layers of the epidermis: basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, corneum. The layers are showed on diagrams and in pictures taken by the use of light microscopy. The cells of the epidermis are also showed: Keratinocytes, Melanocytes, Merkell cells, Langherhans cells. Presents the difference between thick skin and thin skin.

Laparoscopic Lysis of Abdominal Adhesions

This 3D medical animation shows how adhesions in the abdomen may cause complications. These problems may include obstruction, twisting, and dislocating areas of the small intestine. Adhesions can be separated with laparoscopic instruments.

Basic Medical Pathology: Morphological Expressions of Cell Injury

The video tape defines and describes injuries sustained by cells when they are exposed to stress and are unable to adapt. The results of cell injury are shown with photomicrographs, organ photographs, and electron micrographs of normal and injured cells.

Creating skin grafts for burn victims

Biomedical engineers at Stevens are making more realistic skin grafts by adding hairs to artificial skin tissues.

Tuberculosis and Hypervascularity video - Animation by Cal Shipley, M.D.

Infection of the lung by the tubercle bacillus with subsequent inflammation and hypervascularity in the lungs. Formation of hypervascular adhesions between the chest wall and lungs.

Inguinal hernia

 This 3D medical animation depicts the surgical repair of a direct, strangulated inguinal hernia. The animation of the surgery shows the placement of the laparascopic devices, location of the herniated abdominal mass, and placement of mesh graft to strengthen the fascia of the abdominal wall.

Surgical debridement

 This 3D animation provides an overview of how dead tissue can be removed from around a wound. Wounds can result from a variety of causes including: injuries, burns, bedsores, decubitus ulcers and infected surgical incisions. Dead tissue can delay wound healing and lead to infections.

Burns: Classification and Treatment

This 3D medical animation shows burns, which are skin injuries caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation. Types of burns are shown, including first-degree/superficial burns, second-degree/partial thickness burns, third-degree/full thickness burns, and fourth-degree burns. Treatments for burns are described, including antibiotic ointments, bandages, and medications such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
