Right-side and left-side colon cancer follow different pathways to relapse

Source-Side Left-to-Right or Target-Side Left-to-Right? An Empirical Comparison of Two Phrase-Based Decoding Algorithms

This paper describes an empirical study of the phrase-based decoding algorithm proposed by Chang and Collins (2017). The algorithm produces a translation by processing the source-language sentence in strictly left-to-right order, differing from commonly used approaches that build the target-language sentence in left-to-right order. Our results show that the new algorithm is competitive with Mos...

Right-Side Colon Ischemia: Clinical Features, Large Visceral Artery Occlusion, and Long-Term Follow-Up.

CONTEXT Large visceral artery occlusion (LVAO) could underlie right-side colon ischemia (RSCI) but is little known. OBJECTIVE To assess patients with RSCI through long-term follow-up, including features and management of LVAO. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Mesenteric ischemia and mortality.

Ileocolonic anastomosis after right hemicolectomy for colon cancer: functional end-to-end or end-to-side?

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare short-term clinical outcomes of ileocolonic functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA) and end-to-side anastomosis (ESA) following resection of the right colon for cancer. METHODS We enrolled 379 patients who underwent ileocolonic anastomosis following resection of the right colon for cancer by a single surgeon, from January 2009 through June ...

Unilaterally Extended Thoracoscopic Thymectomy: The Right Side or the Left Side Approach

Displacement of the abomasum to the left side and pyloric obstruction in a goat

A 4-year-old female native goat with the history of inappetence and no defecation was referred to the Department of Clinical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine of Shiraz, Shiraz, southern Iran. During exploratory laparotomy, pyloric obstruction and displacement of the abomasum to the left side was observed. Obstruction of pylorus was due to a ball-shaped phytobezoar. The goat was followed ...
