Despite recent improvements in surgical technique, the morbidity of distal pancreatectomy remains high, with pancreatic fistula being the most significant postoperative complication. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) dealing with surgical techniques in distal pancreatectomy was carried out to summarize up-to-date knowledge on this topic. The Cochrane Central Registry of...

A concurrent history represented by a causality structure that captures the intrinsic, invariant dependencies between its actions, can be interpreted as defining a set of closely related observations (e.g. step sequences). Depending on the relationships observed in the histories of a system, the concurrency paradigm to which it adheres may be identified, with different concurrency paradigms und...

cordance with the mechanism proposed by Jahn, the temperature coefficient leads to a value for the heat of dissociation of ozone into molecular okygen and atomic oxygen. Calculating by thermodynamic methods the concentration of monatomic oxygen at 1000 and 1 atmosphere pressure in 5% ozone, and by kinetic theory methods the number of collisions between molecular ozone and atomic oxygen, it has ...
