New quantitative variables to measure postoperative pericardial adhesions: useful tools in experimental research Novas variáveis quantitativas para avaliação das aderências pericárdicas: ferramentas úteis na pesquisa experimental
PURPOSE: To improve the measurement system, during a research for the prevention of adhesions, we explored the feasibility of introducing three continuous numeric variables to quantify the intensity of pericardial adhesions. METHODS: To validate these three new numeric variables - time spent to diss...
