متن کاملProcore and Flexible 19 Gauge Needle Can Replace Trucut Biopsy Needle?
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is routinely performed for establishing tissue diagnosis in patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The concept of delivering chemotherapy based on molecular markers and the ability to establish a reliable diagnosis in lieu of an onsite cytopathologist has fuelled the recent trend in procuring core tissue by means of EUS-guided fine n...
متن کاملCan Paraconsistency Replace Non-Monotonicity?
In this position paper we reconstruct and evaluate three arguments by Jean-Yves Béziau put forward to show that paraconsistent logics may replace non-monotonic logics in the analysis of situations what the latter were created for, namely updating of databases by increment of information. As originally put forward they might seem too colorful or unserious and easily dismissible, but they really ...
