A graph easy set of mute lambda terms
No full textAmong the unsolvable terms of the lambda calculus, the mute (or root-active) ones are those having the highest degree of un-definedness. In this paper, we define an infinite set S of mute terms, and show that it is graph-easy: for any closed term t of the lambda calculus there exists a graph model equating all the terms of S to t
Long-Term Outcomes of the Implant of a Periurethral Constrictor for Stress Urinary Incontinence Following Radical Prostatectomy
No full textOBJECTIVES:
To assess morbidity, effectiveness and quality of life (QoL) of implant of Silimed periurethral constrictor (PC) in a consecutive series of patients who had stress urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:
A prospective non-randomized study designed on patients who underwent implant of Silimed PC. Primary end point was postoperative morbidity and secondary end points were effectiveness of implant and QoL. We performed a sub-analysis of men who received previous radiation and we compared the subpopulation with radiation-naïve patients.
RESULTS:
Nineteen patients (31.6%) received pelvic radiation therapy prior implant. All procedures were completed successfully with median operative time of 55 (IQR 50-62.5) min. We recorded 47 (78.3%) postoperative complications in 30 men. Twenty-three men (38.3%) developed urethral erosion at median follow-up of 27.5 (IQR 21-35) months, and 1 man (1.9%) had rectourethral fistula at 2 months. Risk of urethral erosion increased significantly among patients who received radiation (63.1 vs. 26.8%; p < 0.001). In 12 cases (20%), we recorded malfunctioning of the reservoir requiring replacement.
CONCLUSION:
The implant of Silimed device is not safe due to a high risk of urethral erosion. Careful patient selection and detailed counseling are mandatory when considering the implant of PC in adult patients
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Major surgery (radical cystectomy with urethrectomy) in a patient with von Willebrand's disease type I. Reliability and limits of hemocoagulative tests
No full textPatients with bleeding disorders frequently need medical or surgical care. The case is reported of a man with von Willebrand's disease type I undergoing radical cystectomy with urethrectomy for multicentric bladder cancer with neoplastic involvement of prostatic urethra, who developed serious bleeding complications which can not be predicted with conventional coagulation in laboratory. The use of the thromboelastograph (TEG) in the critical postoperative period was decisive. The tracing alterations allowed to assess the clotting disorder, constantly counterbalancing the baseline deficit and the blood loss
