Sanitizing Microdata without Leak: Combining Preventive and Curative Actions

Use of an Autologous Liver Round Ligament Flap Zeros Postoperative Bile Leak after Curative Resection of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma

BACKGROUND Postoperative bile leak is a major surgical morbidity after curative resection with hepaticojejunostomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, especially in Bismuth-Corlette types III and IV. This retrospective study assessed the effectiveness and safety of an autologous hepatic round ligament flap (AHRLF) for reducing bile leak after hilar hepaticojejunostomy. METHODS Nine type III and IV ...

Anonymity: Formalisation of Privacy – k-anonymity

Microdata is the basis of statistical studies. If microdata is released, it can leak sensitive information about the participants, even if identifiers like name or social security number are removed. A proper anonymization for statistical microdata is essential. K-anonymity has been intensively discussed as a measure for anonymity in statistical data. Quasi identifiers are attributes that might...

Effects of Flow Hydraulics, Pipe Structure and Submerged Jet on Leak Behaviour

The aim of this paper is numerical and experimental study of the effects of flow hydraulics, pipe structure (particularly elastic behaviour) and submerged jet on leak behaviour. In this regard, experimental tests were performed on a high-pressure circulation set up. Experiments were performed on an old steel pipe and a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe discharged to the atmosphere in a wide...

Releasing Individually Identifiable Microdata with Privacy Protection Against Stochastic Threat: An Application to Health Information

T he ability to collect and disseminate individually identifiable microdata is becoming increasingly important in a number of arenas. This is especially true in health care and national security, where this data is considered vital for a number of public health and safety initiatives. In some cases legislation has been used to establish some standards for limiting the collection of and access t...
