abstract background: end-to-side esophagojejunostomy has almost always been associated with some degree of dysphagia. to overcome this complication we decided to perform an end-to-end anastomosis and compare it with end-to-side roux-en-y esophagojejunostomy. methods: in this prospective study, between 1998 and 2005, 71 patients with a diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma underwent total gastrect...

abstract background: the pancreatojejunostomy has notoriously been known to carry a high rate of operative complications, morbidity and mortality, mainly due to anastomotic leak and ensuing septic complications. objective: in order to decrease anastomotic leak and its attendant morbidity and mortality in operations requiring a pancreato-jejunal anastomosis, and also in order to simplify the ope...

abstract   background : although, different studies on end-to-side nerve repair, results are controversial. the importance of this method in case is unavailability of proximal nerve. in this method, donor nerves also remain intact and without injury. in compare to other classic procedures, end-to-side repair is not much time consuming and needs less dissection. overall, the previous studies in ...

Faults in computer networks may result in millions of dollars in cost. Faults in a network need to be localized and repaired to keep the health of the network. Fault management systems are used to keep today’s complex networks running without significant cost, either by using active techniques or passive techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on imperialist competitive alg...
