INCIDENCE OF CLINICALLY RELEVANT POSTOPERATIVE PANCREATIC FISTULA IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING OPEN AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE PANCREATODUODENECTOMY: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY

Purpose: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains a devastating complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).Minimally invasive PD (MIPD), including laparoscopic (LPD) and robotic (RPD) approaches, have comparable POPF rates to open PD (OPD).However, we hypothesize that the likelihood of having a more severe POPF, as defined as clinically rele

The presence of EDTA in wastewaters originating from photovoltaic Schisandra (Schizandra) (PV) process may cause significant environmental impacts.The aim of this work was the treatment of the effluents, resulting from the baths of the PV process, by a photocatalytic process based on TiO2 silver doped (Ag-TiO2) and using synthetic solutions contain

Abstract In this paper, we will make an attempt to clarify the relation between three-dimensional euclidean loop quantum gravity with vanishing cosmological constant and quantum field theory in the continuum.We will argue, in particular, that in three spacetime dimensions the discrete spectra for the geometric Floor Mounts boundary observables that

The sweet-basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) fruit/pericarp produces mucilage that engulfs the fruit and seed within minutes of hydration.Seed mucilage is produced by plant species that have adapted to arid, sandy soils.This study was conducted to determine how basil-seed mucilage improves ecological fitness.A second objective was to find ways to remove m
