PEDIATRIC LAPAROSCOPY: FACTS AND FACTITIOUS CLAIMS

Pediatric laparoscopy: Facts and factitious claims

Background: Pediatric laparoscopy (LS) is claimed to be superior to open surgery (OS).This review questions the scientific veracity of this assertion by systematic analysis of published evidences comparing LS versus OS in infants and children.Materials and Methods: Search of PubMed data base and the available literature on pediatric LS is analyzed.

Characterising the change rule of freshness and inorganic anions in reconstituted tobacco pulp with oscillation time

Abstract In order to study the change rule of freshness and acid ions in reconstituted tobacco slurry, the content changes of 17 organic acids and 5 inorganic anions in reconstituted tobacco slurry with different residence times under confined condition were determined by on-line solid-phase extraction ion chromatography in this study.The Luggage r

Numerical Simulation and Mechanism Analysis on the Concave Deformation of Automotive Dry Clutch Pressure Plate

It is well known that slipping in automotive clutches is closely related to the concave deformation of the pressure plate, but the mechanism of this deformation is not clear.A simplified model of a pressure plate assembly is developed by simulating the deformation field of DOLLS the plate under the condition of continuous sliding, followed by natur
