The introduction of a new 1318 nm wavelength Nd:YAG laser has created new possibilities in lung parenchyma surgery. The potentially curative surgical resection of pulmonary metastases in suitably selected cases had been recognized slowly. Using the new laser technology a greater number of patients can now offered salvage surgery. This paper reviews the history of surgical management of pulmonar...

It was a great honor for us to have served as co-chairs of the recent 16th International Conference on AIDS (Toronto, Canada, August 1318, 2006). We were gratified that attendance eclipsed that of all previously held International AIDS conferences. Despite a few glitches, such as problems with registration at the start of the conference, most observers concurred that it went extremely well. In ...

Several RSA-type cryptosystems based on singular cubic curves have been proposed in recent years (cf. Koyama, Lecture notes in Computer Science, vol. 921, Springer, Berlin, 1995, pp. 329–339; Kuwakado, IEICE Trans. Fund. E78-A (1995) 27–33; Koyama, IEICE Trans. Fund. E77-A (1994) 1309–1318). We show that these schemes are equivalent and demonstrate that they are insecure if a linear relation is...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND There are few papers on the cytostructural effects of surgical instruments used during pulmonary resections. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the parenchymal damage caused by different surgical instruments: a new generation electrosurgical scalpel and two different-wavelength lasers. METHODS Six surgical procedures of pulmonary resection for nodules were perfor...
