The effect of incision length on patient recovery following cholecystectomy has not been investigated previously. In this study, 30 patients with symptomatic gallstones were randomized to cholecystectomy through a 6 cm or 15 cm transverse subcostal incision. Postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the 6 cm incision group (median 3 days vs 5 days; P = 0.0069 Mann-Whitney U-test)...

Abstract We report on the experimental studies of interaction electromagnetic radiation with borosilicate crown glass K108 in ultrawide frequency range from 0.002 to 1500 THz. Four different types spectrometers are used measure reflectivity and/or transmittance spectra. Spectral dependences complex dielectric permittivity, refractive index and extinction coefficient extracted measured The optic...

The study aimed to examine the effects of changes in the angle and height on movements and ground reaction forces in the feet. Subjects were instructed to sit and stand on different angles and heights; 0° (43 cm), 10° (51 cm), and 15° (58 cm). The motion required in this study is similar to that of standing up from sitting on a chair. The Tumble Forms Wedges (10° [8 cm], 15° [15 cm]) were place...
