We report a man presenting with dyspnea, cough, and hemoptysis due to left lung collapse from an endobronchial tumor obstructing the left main bronchus. Endobronchial biopsy of the tumor showed renal cell carcinoma, identical to a previous specimen of renal cell carcinoma removed by a radical left nephrectomy five years ago. The endobronchial tumor was removed by snare diathermy through a flexi...

Minimally invasive liver resection (MILR) has evolved considerably in the past decade. Safe hepatic parenchymal transection, has been one of the technical hurdles that has become evident during the growth of MILR. Advances in technology have now made safe liver transection a reality allowing resections of greater magnitude. In this review, the precoagulation approach is described in both method...

Although electrocoagulation is an evolving technology that is being effectively applied today for wastewater treatment, the paucity of scientific understanding of the complex chemical and physical processes involved is limiting future design and hindering progress. The objective of this review through a survey of the literature is to bring the chemistry and physical processes involved into pers...

The electrocoagulation (EC) process is an electrochemical means of introducing coagulants and removing suspended solids, colloidal material, and metals, as well as other dissolved solids from water and wastewaters. The EC process has been successfully employed in removing pollutants, pesticides, and radionuclides. This process also removes harmful microorganisms. More often during EC operation,...

Secondary spread to the anal region is not uncommon. Treatment Several different methods of treatment have been described and should be adapted to the individual patient. Repeated application of chemical agents such as podophyllin is suitable for small numbers of polyps outside the anal canal. Warts persisting after a month are unlikely to respond to further applications. Persistent and more ex...

Figure 3 The femoral rasp inserted to a sufficient depth in the canal via the piriformis fossa. The rasp acts as a guide while diathermy is used to demarcate the angle of neck osteotomy. lies medial to the greater trochanter of the proximal femur (Fig 2). This ensures only a blunt instrument is used to create an initial passage for the femoral rasp, minimising the risk of femoral perforation. W...

Sealing Effect of External Diathermy on Leaking Sclerotomies After Small-Gauge Vitrectomy: A Clinicopathological Report Small-gaugevitrectomyhassurged inpopularity in recentyears and has become a widespread alternative to traditional techniques. Eighty-five percent of retinal surgeons now routinely use 25or 23-gauge systems for uncomplicated macular surgery compared with 22% in 2005.1 These sma...

A prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted on 162 patients of osteoarthritis of knee were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups- Group A and Group B. The Group A was treated with shortwave diathermy, exercise, naproxen and activity modification and the Group B was treated with shortwave diathermy, exercise and naproxen. Improvement was found more in Group A...

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Adenotonsillectomy is one of the widely performed surgical procedures in children worldwide, but there continues to be no universally accepted “ideal” method tonsillectomy. This study aimed compare outcome coblation adenotonsillectomy versus microdebrider adenoidectomy with bipolar tonsillectomy terms efficacy and complication rate.</p>&lt...

OBJECTIVE Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage remains an important factor in determining the safety of performing tonsillectomy as a day case procedure. The aim of this study was to determine the safety of day case tonsillectomy by using combination method, cold dissection tonsillectomy and bipolar diathermy hemostasis. METHODS A prospective randomized clinical study conducted on the patients who h...
