Introduction: This study aimed to compare operation time, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative pain between cold dissection tonsillectomy and harmonic scalpel tonsillectomy.  Materials and Methods: In this single-blinded clinical trial, 32 patients aged 14–48 were enrolled. Each patient randomly underwent tonsillectomy using the harmonic scalpel on one side and cold dissection on the other...

We study harmonic Bergman functions on the upper half-space of Rn. Among our main results are: The Bergman projection is bounded for the range 1 < p <∞; certain nonorthogonal projections are bounded for the range 1 ≤ p < ∞; the dual space of the Bergman L1-space is the harmonic Bloch space modulo constants; harmonic conjugation is bounded on the Bergman spaces for the range 1 ≤ p <∞; the Bergma...

Both A-harmonic equations and p-harmonic geometry are rich subjects 1–5 . Many results on both topics have been derived, respectively, but there are very few papers relating both subjects. In this paper, we will connect these two subjects by extending several results from 1-Harmonic functions to A-Harmonic functions. We consider the following setting: a C1 function f : R → R is said to be A-har...

In this paper, we tackle the problem of generalizing conformal maps to volumetric meshes. Current methods seek for harmonicity but unfortunately, no computational methods optimize conformality in the volumetric context. As it is proven that conformal maps do not exist for general volume transformations, we seek to optimize shape preservation with a generalization of the CauchyRiemann equations....

Recent studies on the mesoscopic structures of water and carbon, together with the latest geometric DNA mapping theories, suggest that life emerges and grows according to predictable harmonic patterns found in org...

We present a planar harmonic cage-based deformation method with local injectivity and bounded distortion guarantees, that is significantly faster than state-of-the-art methods with similar guarantees, and allows for real-time interaction. With a convex proxy for a near-convex characterization of the bounded distortion harmonic mapping space from [LW16], we utilize a modified alternating project...

CONTEXT Oncosurgery is an emerging branch with the set goals of prolonging the life and ensuring the best possible quality of life to the surviving patient. The use of harmonic scalpel has proved to be beneficial in a variety of surgeries but its role in breast surgery is still controversial. AIMS We conducted this study to compare the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes in modified rad...
