چکیده
Background: for advance grades of symptomatic hemorrhoids (grade III and IV) the author has innovated a procedure called radiofrequency ablation and fixation of hemorrhoids. The procedure is performed as a day care surgery. Patients and methods: the surgical technique and clinical follow-up of patients operated by this technique are presented. An Ellman dual frequency radiofrequency generator was used for ablation, which was followed by suture fixation of the hemorrhoids. Patient satisfaction score was assessed using a visual analogue scale. The results of this procedure are presented and are compared with the results of published data of stapled hemorrhoidopexy and Doppler guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation procedures. Results: between 1998 and 2005, 2,376 patients were operated with this technique. Patient’s mean age was 34 years and 1,438 patients were males. The postoperative complication rate was 3.5%, which included secondary bleeding, retention of urine and perianal thrombosis. The recurrence rate was less than 1.5%. The satisfaction score was 9.2 on VAS. Conclusions: radiofrequency ablation and fixation of hemorrhoids is a technique that results in less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, and early return to normal activity. It seems to be a better alternative to stapled hemorrhoidopexy or Doppler guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation with regard to effectiveness and symptomatic relief on long term.

Models of Polarized and Variable Radio Emission for IDV Source 0917 + 624
We examine the power spectra of IDV and show the information, which is to be gained by wavelet analysis of light curves of the quasar 0917+624. Results for total and polarized flux at 11 cm are shown. Both interstellar scattering and intrinsic models have difficulties in explaining the 1 day period variations. A theoretical model for the time averaged emission is presented, which provides the b...
متن کاملPartial Updates: Exploration
The partial update problem for parallel abstract state machines has manifested itself in the cases of counters, sets and maps. We propose a solution of the problem that lends itself to an eÆcient implementation and covers the three cases mentioned above. There are other cases of the problem that require a more general framework.

متن کاملDimension of the Lisbon voting rules in the EU Council: a challenge and new world record
The new voting system of the Council of the European Union cannot be represented as the intersection of six or fewer weighted games, i.e., its dimension is at least 7. This sets a new record for real-world voting bodies. A heuristic combination of different discrete optimization methods yields a representation as the intersection of 13 368 weighted games. Determination of the exact dimension is...
