Purpose: It is unknown how use and outcome of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) compare between high-volume centres (HV) low-medium volume (LMV). This study aimed to LLR according surgical difficulty in three leading European HV twenty Dutch LMV. Method: An international, retrospective multicentre cohort including data from LMV January 2011 December 2016. are defined by performing >50 annually...

Abstract Reconstructing a discrete object by means of X-rays along finite set U (discrete) directions represents one the main task in tomography. Indeed, it is an ill-posed inverse problem, since different structures exist having same projections all lines whose range . Characteristic ambiguous reconstructions are special configurations, called switching components, understanding issue tomograp...

Background Lack of habituation of visual evoked potentials (VEP) is a common finding in migraine patients between attacks. Previous studies have suggested an electrophysiological familial aggregation pattern associated with migraine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of a positive familial history of migraine on VEP amplitude and habituation. Methods We recorded six blocks of ...

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a gait-altering orthopedic deformity, somewhat more prevalent in women, which often affects both limbs. Although surgery commonly applied treatment, there no consensus the literature on how invasive HV correction spatiotemporal gait parameters, or quickly improvement can be expected. We investigated parameters female patients who underwent bilateral surgical of...

The pectic enzymes produced in vitro by 8 isolates (5 Highly virulent and 3 Weakly virulent) of Fusarium oxysporum , were detected by spectrophotometry, and characterized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with substrate-containing gels (zymogram). Analysis of the polygalacturonase (PG) isozyme banding patterns (zymogram) identified two distinct phenotypes among the isolates from chickpea (C...

A newly developed phenoxyalkylamine derivative, 2-isopropyl-5-[3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propylamino]-2-(3,4, 5-trimethoxyphenyl)-valeronitrile fumarate (HV-525), was investigated in intact dogs and in isolated dog atria perfused with anesthetized donor dog's arterial blood. When 0.3 mg/kg of HV-525 was intravenously administered to the donor dog, a depressor effect without significant changes in hea...

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of high-volume continuous renal replacement therapy (HV-CRRT) on procalcitonin (PCT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 in acute pancreatitis complicated by acute renal failure. Eighty-six patients with acute pancreatitis complicated with acute renal failure were selected from September 2014 to Septemb...
