A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line allows permanent vascular access and is widely used in pediatric oncology. In patients, who fully completed antitumor treatment, the PICC should be removed. some cases, however, procedure may complicated such a then called ‘hard-to-remove’ or ‘non-removable’. This article describes clinical case of successful non-surgical removal with develop...

With the advent of laparoscopic surgery, the need of optimal visualization and efficient instrumentation has created a need for better understanding of the characteristics of the surgical plume. Despite the technological advances of digital imaging and dissector technology (ultrasonic, radiofrequency electrical, and bipolar), the inconvenient and sometimes harmful generation of a surgical plume...

Introduction Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) have several advantages (rotor simplicity, high speed operation, ease of repairing, high degree of independence between phases, short end-turn, and low inertia) and used for aerospace systems, marine propulsion systems, linear drives, mining drives, hand held tools and home utility applications. However, a major disadvantage of SRM is vibration pro...

during fixation of a femoral neck fracture in a 23-year-old male patient with cannulated screws, a broken guide wire fragment inadvertently advanced through the hip joint and protruded into the pelvis. a second surgical approach was needed to remove the broken fragment from the pelvis. awareness of such a potentially devastating complication will make surgeons more cautious during implementatio...
