BACKGROUND Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN) are accepted as alternatives of open partial nephrectomy for managing renal tumors. However, LPN and RPN are technically challenging procedures. This report analyzed, according to the Clavien classification, the complications after LPN and RPN. METHODS We analyzed consecutive LPN (n = 85) and RPN ...

PT. Yogya Presisi Teknikatama Industri (PT. YPTI) is a mold, precision part, and plastic injection maker company. One of the obstacles faced by the company is the high level of nonconformity on its production results. The waste on production process can be identified and classified into four types, i.e.: a). during the process of injection molding machines, b). finishing and cutting processes, ...

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is one of user friendly and handy tool available in the hands of the process industries to identifying and eliminating the potential failures in systems, processes and designing. In this FMEA method prioritization of the failure modes are based on Risk Priority Number (RPN). This RPN can be calculated by multiplying the scores of various risk factors and cate...

Despite of the popularity of the fuzzy Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) methodology, there are several limitations in combining the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) model. Two main limitations are: (1) it is difficult and impractical to form a complete fuzzy rule base when the number of required rules is large; and (2) fulfillment of the monotonicity prope...

Objective. To report the perioperative outcomes of patients treated with partial nephrectomy by a single surgeon using three surgical modalities-open, laparoscopic, and robotic. Methods. Between August 2006 and February 2012, 106 consecutive patients underwent open partial nephrectomy (OPN) (n = 23), laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) (n = 48), and robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) (n = 35)...

There was no history of diabetes, sickle cell anaemia Renal papillary necrosis (RPN) is a clinicopathological nephrolithiasis, sarcoidosis, or exposure to tubercuentity characterized by necrotic lesions of the kidney losis. He had no unusual environmental or occupaconfined to the distal parts of the pyramids. The first tional chemical exposures and there had been no description dates back to 18...

Allogromia laticollaris, a benthic marine foraminifer, extends numerous trunk filopodia that repeatedly branch, anastomose, and fuse again to form the reticulopodial network (RPN), within which an incessant streaming of cytoplasmic particles occurs. The motion of the particles is saltatory and bidirectional, even in the thinnest filopodia detected by optical microscopy. Fibrils are visible by d...
