BACKGROUND Results of a dynamic multimodality mapping study showed no lymphatic drainage of the lateral bladder wall to the contralateral internal iliac region. OBJECTIVES To validate whether pathoanatomical mapping in bladder cancer (BC) patients can confirm these results. METHODS Between 01/2000 and 07/2013, 825 BC patients preoperatively staged ≥pT1 and without clinical signs of metastas...

Under the condition of removing the restriction any bounded, we give the convergence of the Ishikawa iteration process to a unique fixed point of a strongly pseudocontractive operator in arbitrary real Banach space. Furthermore, general convergence rate estimate is given in our results, which extend the recent results of Ciric [3] and Soltuz [12]. AMS subject classifications: Primary 47H10; Sec...

In this paper, we analyze a three-step iterative scheme for three strongly pseudocontractive mappings in a uniformly smooth Banach space. Our results can be viewed as an extension of three-step and two-step iterative schemes of Glowinski and Le Tallec [3], Noor [1215] and Ishikawa [7], Liu [10] and Xu [20]. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 47H10, 47H17: Secondary 54H25

The purpose of this paper is to study the strong convergence of an implicit iteration process with errors to a common fixed point for a finite family of asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings and nonexpansive mappings in normed linear spaces. The results in this paper improve and extend the corresponding results of Xu and Ori, Zhou and Chang, Sun, Yang and Yu in some aspects.

In this paper, we first prove a path convergence theorem for a nonexpansive mapping in a reflexive and strictly convex Banach space which has a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm and admits the duality mapping jφ, where φ is a gauge function on [0,∞). Using this result, strong convergence theorems for common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings are established.
