Background and Purpose Although it is often assumed in experimental stroke studies that cautery-induced occlusion is permanent, surgeons commonly expect cauterized vessels to recanalize spontaneously. We used the rat middle cerebral artery to determine if electrocoagulation would produce a permanent occlusion in this preparation. Methods and Results A standard bipolar coagulator, calibrated to ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (LRPLND) using bipolar electrocoagulation instead of clipping the lymphatic vessels. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between August 2002 and April 2008, a total of 13 patients underwent transperitoneal LPRLND for nonseminomatous germ cell tumor of the testis. In this experience, in contrast to other techniques, we did...

Prior to 1978, the conventional treatment of pneumothorax generally consisted of conservative therapies such as rest, needle puncture, or thoracic cavity drainage; however, when conservative therapies were ineffective or relapse occurred therapeutic approach, 34 percent (11/32) of our patients required a thoracotomy. Consequently, in 1981, we began to use alternative therapies to reduce the nee...

In his Salmon Lectures in 1950, Fulton"0 suggested that radical lobotomy should be abandoned in favor of more restricted lesions in the medioventral quadrant of the frontal lobe. Delgado and Rosvold9 and Rosvold and Delgado' have shown that frontal lobe syndrome in the monkey may be produced by electrical stimulation or electrocoagulation of small areas in the head of the caudate nucleus, a str...

Flotation of minerals, an important part the chain metals production for our society, needs huge amounts water. This industry can contribute to sustainable use water and circular economy development by utilizing its own wastewater. However, reuse clarified without additional treatment may cause worsening flotation results. Electrocoagulation this with mild steel sacrificial anodes, complemented...

This work deals with the design of a domestic wastewater treatment system for washing machine, which is mainly based on responsibility to environment in terms correct administration and proper management most significant asset that man possesses, water. In Mexican homes, one main processes laundry, where large amount water used clean clothing. Electrocoagulation process can be different due its...
