Safe endobag morcellation in a single-port laparoscopy subtotal hysterectomy
No full textRecently, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published an alert about the risks of
uterine tissue morcellation during laparoscopic procedures. In particular, the possible risk of
spreading an undiagnosed malignant tumor was emphasized. From then on, a fervent debate in
the media has led major scientific societies to express their position on the matter. We present a
safe endobag abdominal morcellation in a single port-access laparoscopy subtotal hysterectomy.
The endobag abdominal morcellation is feasible and safe; consequently, the development of
devices dedicated to intracavitary morcellation in a closed system has been encourage
The implant-prosthetic rahabilitation in free vascularized bone flaps.A clinical study.
No full textObjectives. Oromaxillo mandibular reconstruction using free bone flaps is nowadays a safe technique with a satisfying rate of success (95%) due to the self flap vascularization. Materials. Between April 1996 and May 2006, 153 patients underwent oncological surgery and immediate reconstruction using bone free flaps. Among those patients, we present only 11 patients (7,2%), because they received reconstruction with bone free flaps and dental rehabilitation using osteointegrated implants. Results and conclusions. We analyze them under the aesthetic and functional point of view, using particular tests to evaluate deglutition, mastication, speech, self-esteem, and implant success. The use of free flaps after oncologic surgical demolition is indicated in case of soft tissue and/or bone defects. Maxillo-mandibular reconstruction is more complete if the patient receives dental prosthetic rehabilitation using osseointegrated implants and, for this reason, bone free flap is the best solution

Oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of a submandibular gland: a case report and review of the literature.
Full text linkThis report describes the first recognized case of oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of a submandibular gland, and emphasizes the role of immunohistochemical study in the correct diagnosis of this tumour. This is only the second case in which this tumour has appeared as a completely cystic lesion. A review of the literature was carried out to clarify the clinical and pathological features of this rare malignancy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
