Ethnic Considerations in Facial Plastic Surgery.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR TABLE-TOP FELs∗

Refinements in laser technology (few-cycle pulse generation, chirped pulse amplification) combined with supercomputer-based plasma simulations have brought the discipline of relativistic laser-matter interaction to a new level of predictability. This was recently demonstrated by the generation of brilliant electron bunches with energies on the 0.1-1-GeV-scale. Our plan is to utilize such lasera...

Considerations for orthognathic surgery during growth, part 1: mandibular deformities.

Management of the growing patient with mandibular dentofacial deformities presents a unique and challenging problem for orthodontists and surgeons. The surgical procedures required for correction of the deformity may affect postsurgical growth and dentofacial development. Further, facial growth may continue postoperatively and negate the benefits of surgery performed, resulting in treatment out...

Anesthetic considerations for robotic surgery

Recently, demand for minimally invasive surgery has increased greatly. As a result, robot-assisted techniques have gained in popularity, because they overcome several of the shortcomings of conventional laparoscopic techniques. However, robotic surgery may require innovations with regard to patient positioning and the overall arrangement of operative equipment and personnel, which may go agains...

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for gastrointestinal surgery, part 1: pathophysiological considerations

BACKGROUND The present article has been written to convey concepts of anaesthetic care within the context of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programme, thus aligning the practice of anaesthesia with the care delivered by the surgical team before, during and after surgery. METHODS The physiological principles supporting the implementation of the ERAS programmes in patients undergoing...
