OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between age and tumor characteristics and to evaluate oncologic results after radical cystectomy in bladder cancer with respect to age. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed 460 patients retrospectively who underwent radical cystectomy. Patients were divided into two groups according to age: ≥70 (Group 1), and <70 (Group 2). We comp...

Semiheaps are ternary generalisations of involuted semigroups. The first kind of semiheaps studied were heaps, which correspond closely to groups. We apply the radical theory of varieties of idempotent algebras to varieties of idempotent semiheaps. The class of heaps is shown to be a radical class, as are two larger classes having no involuted semigroup counterparts. Radical decompositions of v...

BACKGROUND To determine the effect of prostate weight on the preoperative and postoperative outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with a posterior approach to the seminal vesicle. METHODS This retrospective study examined prospectively collected data on 219 robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomies performed from May 2011 to February 2013. Patients were d...

This paper looks at the special characteristics of radical inventions. It tries to identify those variables that differentiate radical inventions from non-radical inventions. Since radical inventions are very important for the economy as a whole and for the individual firm performances, understanding what makes radical inventions differ from non-radical inventions is very important. For our res...

An N-halamine precursor 2-(3-(6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)ureido)ethyl methacrylate (SCMHBMA) was synthesized and grafted on cotton fabrics via atom transfer radical polymerization for antibacterial function after chlorination. The preparation chlorinated (Cotton-g-PSMA-Cl) were characterized with FTIR, XPS, SEM, TGA. properties of prepared Cotton-g-PSMA-Cl, including thermal prope...

The Salafist community, which is marginalized from mainstream media in Indonesia, represents the ideology of Salafus Salih through mediatization religion. Salafists originally preached traditionally but later utilized radio and television then websites social media. This ideological representation religion increases number followers so that they can reproduce formations to maintain status quo. ...
