Objective: To describe our experience using polymer clips (Hem-o-lok®) for renal vessel control in laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN).
 Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive analysis from database of all minimally invasive nephrectomies (hand-assisted pure laparoscopic) performed 2008 to 2020 institution. included patients who underwent LLDN vascular art...

An experiment is presented to induce a set of polysemous basic type alternations (such as ANIMAL-FOOD, or BUILDING-INSTITUTION) by deriving them from the sense alternations found in an existing lexical resource. The paper builds on previous work and applies those results to the Italian lexicon PAROLE SIMPLE CLIPS. The new results show how the set of frequent type alternations that can be induce...

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a safe and effective procedure for patients with achalasia [1]. Mucosal perforation is an inadvertent complication that is difficult or impossible to treat with standard clips [2]. Over-the-scope clips, endoluminal suturing devices, and fully covered stents have been used successfully [3,4]. Cyanoacrylate is used as a sealant because of its rapid solidificat...

A synopsis of the types of vascular clips (malleable clips, screw clips, and spring clips) used by neurosurgeons during this century is presented. A review of the pertinent literature is included.

This paper presents the application of inheritance to the formal taxonomy (is-a) of a semantically rich Lexical Resource (LR) based on the Generative Lexicon theory, SIMPLE-CLIPS. The aim is to lighten the representation of its semantic layer by reducing the number of encoded relations. A prediction calculation on the impact of introducing inheritance as regards space occupancy is carried out, ...
