Radiofrequency Assisted Hepatic Parenchyma Resection Using Radiofrequent Generator (RF) Generator

A radiofrequency-assisted minimal blood loss liver parenchyma dissection technique.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Intraoperative blood loss is still a major concern for surgeons operating on the liver since it is associated with a significantly higher rate of postoperative complications and shorter long-term survival. An original radiofrequency (RF)-assisted minimal blood loss technique for transecting liver parenchyma is presented. METHODS In a prospective study, starting November 2001 a...

Walking Pattern Generator Using an Evolutionary Central Pattern Generator

For the generation of locomotion, such as walking, running or swimming, vertebrate and invertebrate animals use the Central Pattern Generator (CPG). In this paper, a walking pattern generator is proposed using an evolutionary optimized CPG. Sensory feedback pathways in CPG are proposed, which uses Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) signals. For the optimization of CPG parameters, quantuminspired evol...

Using the SIMUB Generator

The performance of the method of angular moments on the ∆Γs determination from analysis of untagged decays B s (t), B 0 s(t) → J/ψ(→ l+l−)φ(→ KK) is examined by using the SIMUB generator. The results of Monte Carlo studies with evaluation of measurement errors are presented. The method of angular moments gives stable results for the estimate of ∆Γs and is found to be an efficient and flexible t...

Dynamic Testing of Generator Protection Using a Model Generator Platform

Laparoscopic liver resection assisted with radiofrequency.

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency-assisted laparoscopic liver resection is reported. METHODS Patients suitable for liver resection were carefully assessed for laparoscopic resection. Patient and intraoperative and postoperative data were prospectively collected and analyzed. RESULTS Eighteen patients underwent laparoscopic liver resection. All operations were performed without vascular clamping and...
