background port site complications following elective surgery are rare and port site infections remain the most common short long term complications. objectives the study was conducted to analyze port site complications occurring in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis. patients and methods ninety patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were r...

This study investigates the valorization of dredged sediments containing high and low organic matter (OM) content with alkali-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) conventional hydraulic binders (HB). The objective is to develop a sustainable material necessary qualities for road construction. Research conducted on from French port Cherbourg (CHER-ALL sediments) dam in Maurienne...

ABSTRACT Following the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council began Long-Term Environmental Monitoring Program (LTEMP) in 1993 to track hydrocarbon chemistry of recovering sediments and mussel tissues along path (PWS) across Northern Gulf Alaska (NGOA) region. The program also samples sites near Alyeska Marine Terminal (AMT) within Port Vald...

Abstract Pollen and plant macrofossils are often well-preserved in coastal sediments, providing a palaeoenvironmental record of sea-level landscape change. In this study, we examine the pollen macrofossil assemblages well-dated saltmarsh sediment core from southwest Newfoundland, Canada, to establish recent vegetation land use change, increase knowledge anthropogenic activities area develop chr...

Bacterial extracellular proteases are important for bacterial nutrition and marine sedimentary organic nitrogen degradation. However, only a few proteases from marine sedimentary bacteria have been characterized. Some subtilases have a protease-associated (PA) domain inserted in the catalytic domain. Although structural analysis and deletion mutation suggests that the PA domain in subtilases is...

Viruses profoundly influence benthic marine ecosystems by infecting and subsequently killing their prokaryotic hosts, thereby impacting the cycling of carbon and nutrients. Previously conducted studies, based on different methodologies, have provided widely differing estimates of the relevance of viruses on benthic prokaryotes. There has been no attempt so far to compare these independent appro...

The understanding of the sedimentary dynamics is important in characterization impacts caused by dredging and this knowledge becomes decisive for their discernment. aim article was to analyze plume dispersion sediments Port Maceió. analyzes were carried out three sampling campaigns, before, during after port works, which collection points discard areas plotted. suspended particulate material (S...

peripherally inserted venous ports fracture with embolization in patients who received chemotherapy is a serious and rare complication,and few cases have been reported in children. we report a successful endovascular technique using a snare for retrieving broken peripherally inserted venous ports in a child for chemotherapy. catheter fragments may cause complications such as cardiac perforation...

evidence acquisition a systematic literature searching of databases medline, embase, and google scholar was done from 1982 and updated in december 2015. search terms were “cholecystectomy”, “laparoscopic cholecystectomy”, “four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy”, “single-incision laparoscopic surgery”. context laparoscopic approach with its several techniques has become the standard method for ...
