Concurrent and Overlapping Surgery

Concurrent Crashing and Overlapping in Product Development

This research addresses two common tools for reducing product development lead times: overlapping of development stages and crashing of development times. For the first time in the product development literature, a formal model addresses both tools concurrently, thus facilitating analysis of the interdependencies between overlapping and crashing. The results exhibit the necessity of addressing ...

Scalable Implementations of MPI Atomicity for Concurrent Overlapping I/O

For concurrent I/O operations, atomicity defines the results in the overlapping file regions simultaneously read/written by requesting processes. Atomicity has been well studied at the file system level, such as POSIX standard. In this paper, we investigate the problems arising from the implementation of MPI atomicity for concurrent overlapping write access and provide two programming solutions...

Induction chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiation and surgery for Pancoast tumour.

The traditional treatment of Pancoast tumour with local approaches (surgery, radiotherapy or a combination of both) leads to a poor outcome due to the high rate of incomplete resection and the lack of systemic control. The aim of the present prospective feasibility study was to determine whether a trimodality approach improves local control and survival. Patients with stage IIB-IIIB Pancoast tu...

Concurrent coronary and carotid artery surgery: an open debate.

number of no-touch aorta technique and off-pump surgery was lower than expected. Moreover, no explanation was given about surgical approach to 17 patients with aortic dilatation, as it seems that dilated ascending aorta was not substituted. This study confirms that concurrent CEA and CABG can be performed with acceptable mortality and morbidity, but it represents only one of the surgical option...
