Peixoto). endoscopic submucosal dissection of a rectal adenoma in 2010 and hemorrhoidal disease, being submitted to two rubber ligations 16 days before. He was not under anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies. On admission, he was hypotensive (blood pressure 95/45 mmHg), with cardiac rate of 90 bpm. Blood analysis showed a 4 g/d...

Hemorrhoids are a common anorectal disease and can affect all ages. This research aims to specify the differences in Length of Stay (LOS) hemorrhoidal patients who underwent modified combined method rubber ligation sclerotic injection using Paran Injection Ligation for Ambeien pack (PILA pack) compared hemorrhoidectomy. study consisted 56 respondents hemorrhoidectomy, other experienced PILA pac...

We propose an interaction technique for manipulating precise data or selecting one element from a large number of items. Although conventional graphical interaction tools like sliders cannot be used for selecting more items than the pixel size of the slider, we can specify more precise data by using the elastic slider based on the rubber-band metaphor, where a control object can be moved by pul...

Introduction : Hemorrhoidal disease is a common problem that arises when hemorrhoidal structures become engorged and/or prolapse through the anal canal. Both conservative and invasive treatment options are diverse guidance to their implementation lacking. Methods A Delphi consensus process was used review current literature draft relevant statements. These were reconciliated until sufficient ag...

This paper presents a novel approach to solve the Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) problem. The Rubber Band Technique: Location Base (RBT-L) introduced in this paper, is inspired by the elastic behaviour of a Rubber Band (RB) on a plate with poles. RBT-L is an iterative optimisation algorithm designed and implemented to find the optimal alignment for a set of input protein sequences. RBT-L is ...

We consider simple cube-curves in the orthogonal 3D grid. The union of all cells contained in such a curve (also called the tube of this curve) is a polyhedrally bounded set. The curve’s length is defined to be that of the minimum-length polygonal curve (MLP) fully contained and complete in the tube of the curve. So far only one general algorithm called rubber-band algorithm was known for the a...

BACKGROUND Cirrhosis of liver is the leading cause of portal hypertension in this part of the globe. Around thirty percent of the patient with portal hypertension develops complications. Oesophageal variceal bleeding is a serious complication of portal hypertension. Oesophageal variceal band ligation (EVBL) has become the standard of care for patients with bleeding oesophageal varices. Multiple...
