nor simply of reading English medical books, but it was the result of careful and actual observations of the effects of the American drug on patients treated in the Lahore College Hospital. Here I found that, though the gastric sufferings of a majority of patients after taking ipecacuanha were often great in spite of all precautious taken to prevent them, they were more than amply compensated b...

Retroperitoneoscopic partial nephrectomy (RPN) is one of the standard methods for treating T1-stage renal carcinoma, which has a narrow operational space and a difficult surgical procedure. The aim of this study was to examine the safety and feasibility of renal-rotation techniques in RPN. Between April 2012 and June 2014, the renal-rotation technique in RPN was performed in 22 male and 16 fema...

(1) i punti di W sono rappresentabili via l coordinate ~ A = (A1, . . . , Al) ∈ R, dette azioni, e l angoli ~ α = (α1, . . . , αl) ∈ [0, 2π] nel senso che i punti (~ p, ~q) ∈ W possono essere rappresentati, a mezzo di una trasformazione analitica di coordinate ~ p = ~ P ( ~ A, ~ α), ~q = ~ Q( ~ A, ~ α) con ( ~ A, ~ α) ∈ U × T l ove U ⊂ R è un dominio chiusura di un aperto connesso e limitato e ...

Older adults are adopting the Internet in increasing numbers today. At the same time they are also experiencing uncertainties about their safety and information privacy on this medium. Several media reports have shown a rising number of incidents involving older Internet user, that indicate lack of awareness of Internet-related security and privacy issues. This conceptual paper provides a frame...

PURPOSE To determine the feasibility and safety of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN), we compared the operative outcomes of patients who had undergone RPN with those of patients who had undergone laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between February 2009 and June 2010, 13 patients underwent transperitoneal RPN (group 1) and 14 patients underwent transperitoneal LPN (g...

INTRODUCTION For the treatment of renal tumors, minimally invasive nephron-sparing surgery has become increasingly performed due to proven efficiency and excellent functional and oncological outcomes. The introduction of robotics into urologic laparoscopic surgery has allowed surgeons to perform challenging procedures in a reliable and reproducible manner. We present our surgical technique for ...
