Perineal hernias are uncommon complications following laparoscopic abdominoperineal operations. There is still very little known about perineal hernia. There are only few case reports to describe the repair of postoperative hernias after laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection (APR) in the literature. Here we present one patient with a perineal hernia after laparoscopic abdominoperineal resecti...

Seagrass are important marine habitats that function as nursery grounds for juvenile fish. Human activities and other natural factors have contributed to their decline, this has compromised role nurseries, specifically in non-continuous patchy seagrass beds. In study, fish abundance from tropical beds of Watamu were examined, while testing the hypothesis cover seasonality influenced abundancean...

Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera Kutaraja merupakan pelabuhan perikanan terbesar dengan tipe A yang terletak di kota Banda Aceh, alat tangkap purse seine umumnya menangkap spesies pelagic schooling, artinya ikan ini harus membentuk gerombolan. Faktor produksi dipilih dalam penelitian adalah ukuran kapal, tenaga mesin, panjang jaring, lebar jumlah awak bahan bakar, lampu dan lama operasi. Penelitian...

Purse seine merupakan alat penangkap ikan yang digunakan untuk menangkap pelagis bergerombol (schooling fish). Salah satu sumberdaya perikanan memiliki nilai ekonomis penting di Indonesia adalah pelagis. Ikan kecil menjadi paling banyak ditangkap dijadikan konsumsi masyarakat dari berbagai kalangan. Informasi proporsi jenis dan produksi hasil tangkapan suatu tangkap dibutuhkan sebagai dasar pen...

Objective Prevalence of type 2 diabetes varies by region and ancestry. However, most guidelines for the prevention of diabetes mellitus (DM) are based on European or non-Hispanic white populations. Two ethnic minority populations-Mexican Americans (MAs) in Texas, USA, and South Indians (SIs) in Tamil Nadu, India-have an increasing prevalence of DM. We aimed to understand the metabolic correlate...

OBJECTIVE Neochordae implantation is a standard method for treatment of mitral valve prolapse. We describe a transcatheter technology enabling transapical endovascular chordal implantation. METHODS Six adult pigs were anesthetized. Two 10F sheaths were introduced in the femoral vessels for monitoring and intracardiac echo. After midline sternotomy, the pericardium was opened, the apex was pun...

The main target species of Japanese purse seine operating in the tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean is skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), which account for nearly 98 % of their total catch in weight and the remaining is bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) according to the catch based on logbook data. The recent study of the vertical distribution of the...

A 77-year-old male with severe aortic stenosis, prior coronary artery bypass graft, recurrent infective endocarditis, and chronic Q fever (taking hydroxychloroquine and doxycycline) underwent a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) by the transapical (TA) approach via left thoracotomy. A 29-mm Edwards SAPIEN XT valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) was successfully deployed u...

Although overfishing has been recognized as responsible for the decline of major fish stocks, it has been less easy to demonstrate its indirect and detrimental effects on marine mammals, particularly dolphins. Competition with fisheries for the same food resources has been hypothesized to have led to the decline of several species of dolphins, including the endangered Mediterranean short-beaked...

Abstract. In competitive electric reserve markets, the suppliers face the optimal allocation problem of their reserve capacities in order to purse their profit maximizing. Under this background, we develop a capacity allocation model as nonlinear programming. Nonlinear complementarity method is utilized to search for the optimal solution. And smoothing technique is applied to get a system of sm...
