Purpose: Tracheo esophageal fistula repair are usually complicated by the development of anastomotic leaks and strictures. The technique of anastomosis has long been a matter of debate. The most common method has been transverse circular esophageal anastomosis. We aim to bring down the frequency of early complications associated with conventional technique of esophageal repair by introduction o...

Using the tumescent technique, liposuction can remove large volumes of fat with minimal blood loss. A maximal safe dosage of dilute lidocaine using the tumescent technique is estimated to be 35 mg/kg. The slow infiltration of a local anesthetic solution of lidocaine and epinephrine minimizes the rate of systemic absorption and reduces the potential for toxicity. Dilution of lidocaine (0.05% of ...

The palaeoecological site is situated in western foothill area Eastern Carpathians Romania. primary objective this study was to analyse accumulation major trace elements a 7500 year-long peat lake deposition. concentrations 13 were determined by using handheld XRF. mu...

Suplico a vuesa merced, señor don Quijote, que mire bien y especule con cien ojos lo que hay allá dentro: quizá habrá cosas que las ponga yo en el libro de mis Transformaciones (El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, Book 2, Chapter XXII) I beg you, don Quixote sir: look carefully, inspect with a hundred eyes what you see down there. Who knows, maybe you will find something that I can p...

Land-use classification was performed by using a set of ERS-1, JERSand Radarsat images. Classes were water, forests (with subclasses according to stem volume), agricultural field, mire and urban area. Median filtering was used for speckle reduction and principal component analysis for feature extraction. Spectral classification was performed by using self-organizing feature map and learning vec...

Line detection is one of the most long-lasting problems in image processing. In this paper, we address the problem of detecting strong/weak lines and long/short lines in gray level images simultaneously. Our technique consists of three steps: image gradient enhancement, modified Hough Transform (HT) and line fitting. The gradient direction is fully exploited in our technique, which provides add...

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are common and often seen in contact athletes, resulting from a fall on the shouldertip with adducted arm. This joint is stabilized by both static and dynamic structures including the coracoclavicular (CC)ligament. Most reconstruction techniques focus on CC ligament augmentation as the primary stabilizer of the AC joint.The best surgical technique for some ...
