A Simplified Leucotome

چکیده
Freeman and Watts recommended the use of a Killian's nasal elevator in the performance of pre-frontal leucotomy in mental disorders. A combined suction and cutting instrument was first described by McGregor and Crumbie (1942). This instrument was used by Rao and Govindaswamy (1944) in a series of cases, and during operation in one case, the rotating blade slipped inside the brain from its mounting, and the instrument had to be withdrawn from the substance of the brain with the blade open, after an extensive resection of the skull; the laceration to the brain and dura mater was

Monte Carlo characterization of photoneutrons in the radiation therapy with high energy photons: a Comparison between simplified and full Monte Carlo models
Background: The characteristics of secondary neutrons in a high energy radiation therapy room were studied using the MCNPX Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: Two MC models including a model with full description of head components and a simplified model used in previous studies were implemented for MC simulations. Results: Results showed 4-53% difference between full and wit...
متن کاملa Simplified Model of Distributed Parameter Systems
A generalized simplified model for describing the dynamic behavior of distributed parameter systems is proposed. The various specific characteristics of gain and phase angle of distributed parameter systems are investigated from frequency response formulation and complex plane representation of the proposed simplified model. The complex plane investigation renders some important inequality cons...
متن کاملSimulation of Simplified Computational Model of Jacket Structure with Timoshenko Cantilever Beam and Experimental Signature
Today many complex models, typically finite element models, have been employed in the analysis of jacket offshore structures. However, these comprehensive models are not readily adopted in engineering practice, especially during the preliminary design stage. As the dynamic analysis of jacket platforms is very complicated, it will be very advantageous to make a simplified computational method to...
