Ethical Dilemma: Is it Worthwhile Operating an End-Stage Pancreatic Cancer Patient with Acute Mesenteric Artery Ischemia? [Moralinėdilemma-ar verta operuoti paskutinės stadijos kasos vėžiu sergantį pacientą, kuriam pasireiškė ūminė mezenterinė išemija?]
No full textPancreatic cancer is as an aggressive malignancy with low survival rates. We present the first case of an operation of acute mesenteric ischemia performed in a patient with end-stage pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Through this case, we also discuss raising concerns regarding the management of severe complications such as acute mesenteric ischemia in patients with progressed pancreatic carcinoma. How ethical is to leave patients untreated? The decisions for management of patients with advanced disease are strongly based on the expected quality of life, ethical principles, different religions and spiritualities, and the burden of healthcare cost. © 2021 Christos Damaskos, Nikolaos Garmpis, Anna Garmpi, Vasiliki E.

All that Glitters is not Cholecystitis. A Rare Presentation of Acute Pericarditis Mimicking Cholecystitis and Review of the Literature [Ne viskas, kas blizga, yra ūminis cholecistitas. Retas ūminio perikardito, imituojančio cholecistitą, atvejis ir literatūros apžvalga]
No full textAcute pericarditis is the most common inflammatory disorder of the pericardium, responsible for approximately 5% of visits to the emergency departments, concerning chest pain without myocardial infarction. We report a case of a 41-year-old man who presented to our hospital, complaining about retrosternal and epigastrium pain. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed pericardial effusion while the electrocardiogram and laboratory findings revealed acute pericarditis. An abdominal ultrasound revealed gallbladder edema. The pericardial effusion was treated with pericardial catheter insertion, diuretics, and nonsteroidal anti-in-flammatory drugs. This case shows that acute pericarditis can be clinically presented with many ways, one of them being gallbladder edema. Furthermore, in this case-based review we present all cases of simultaneous appearance of pericarditis and acalculous cholecystitis or gallbladder edema. © 2022 Anna Garmpi, Christos Damaskos, Nikolaos Garmpis, Vasiliki E.

Abdominal pain caused by a giant liver hydatid cyst and the management of the residual cavity in a tertiary public hospital in Greece
No full textDiagnosis and treatment of liver hydatid cysts may be challenging. Many surgical techniques have been proposed for the treatment of liver hydatid cysts, but the problem of the residual cavity still remains controversial and challenging, especially in giant liver hydatid cysts which are rare entities that have not been widely described in the literature so far. Capitonnage, external tube drainage and omentoplasty are the most commonly used techniques. Herein, we report the case of a 70-year-old man with a mild upper quadrant pain that proved to have a giant liver hydatid cyst, 21*14 cm2, occupying the entire right lobe of the liver. We describe a successful surgical approach with cyst unroofing and careful evacuation of the multiple daughter cysts by aspiration, and the effective management of the residual cavity by the combination of all three aforementioned techniques. © Athanasios Syllaios et al

Peak power reduction algorithms in asymmetric digital subscriber line modems
No full textThesis (M.Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2000.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 94-96).This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.This thesis investigates peak-to-average ratio (PAR) reduction techniques for multicarrier modulation systems, such as discrete multitone (DMT) modems and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) terrestrial broadcast transmitters. Through simulation and test implementation on a state-of-the-art programmable ADSL development platform, this thesis pursues a suitable solution for minimizing PAR given the resources of a programmable platform. This solution is integrated as a prototype implementation into a fully-functional ADSL modem and optimized for maximum PAR reduction performance within modem complexity constraints.by Athanasios Dimitri Dousis.M.Eng
Homophobic Statements, a Bishop, and the Limits of Freedom of Expression. An In-Depth Commentary on ECtHR 31.08.2023, Amvrosios-Athanasios Lenis v. Greece, no. 47833/20

ABSTRACT: The decision of the ECtHR of 31.08.2023, Amvrosios-Athanasios Lenis v. Greece (no. 47833/20), is a further step toward an increasingly dense jurisprudence on “hate speech” and the limits of freedom of expression. The public proclamation of religious doctrines that are in conflict with the values of the contracting States enshrined in the ECHR is protected to a certain extent by the fundamental right of freedom of religion and belief. However, the qualification of a statement as religious does not justify “hate speech.” The AUTHOR shows the tension between freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and protection against discrimination, and analyzes the decision against the backdrop of Article 17 of the ECHR (prohibition of abuse of rights).

The Procedure and Reasoning of the Court - 4.1 The ECtHR’s Preliminary Considerations on Fundamental Rights - 4.2 Legal assessment - 4.3 Some Remarks on (the Non-Invoked) Article 9 of the ECHR - 5.

A Study of Anomalous Conduction in n-Type Amorphous Silicon and Correlations in Conductivity and Noise in Gold Nanoparticle-Ligand Arrays
No full textThis work explores two very different structural systems: n-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) suspended in a matrix of organic ligands. For a-Si:H, examination of the gas-phase concentration of dopant (1-6% PH3/SiH4) and argon diluent effects includes the temperature dependent conductivity, low-frequency electronic noise, and Raman spectroscopy to examine structure. It is found that a-Si:H samples grown with high dopant concentration or with argon dilution exhibit an anomalous hopping conduction mechanism with an exponent of p=0.75. An experimental approach is used to determine correlations between conduction parameters, such as the pre-exponential factor and the characteristic temperature, rather than an analysis of existing models to explain the anomalous conduction. From these results, the anomalous conduction is a result of a change in the shape of the density of states and not a shift of the Fermi level with dopant. Additionally, it is found that argon dilution increases the carrier mobility, reduces the doping efficiency, and causes a degradation of the short-range order. With AuNPs, a comparison of temperature dependent conductivity and low-frequency noise shows that the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) is independent of the length of interparticle distance while the noise magnitude decreases
La tomba III di Haghios Athanasios e il valore semantico dell'incarnato
No full textThe tomb III at Haghios Athanasios stands out among the Macedonian tombs for the exceptional painted decoration of the temple-like façade. Excavated in the '90s by M. Tsimbidou-Avloniti it has been published by the scholar in full detail and the iconographic program of the monument has been the object of many publications. This article re-examines the different ways of reproducing the skin color (το ανδρείκελον) in the figures of the miniature frieze and in the megalographic figures beside the door. The realistic rendering of the megalographic figures of armed men in Macedonian attire, showing their sorrow for the lost of an etairos, is contrasting with the pale color of the participants to the symposion in the frieze above the door, a scene whose illusionistic overtone has been yet perceived by the critics. This symposion is articulated in three scenes and it can be interpeted as a necrodeipnon, but in the same time as a celebration of the Macedonian banquet style, centered on the royal court. The author suggests that the first figure on the right of the frieze, related to the group of armed men looking towards the banqueters feasting in the center of the frieze, can be read as the dead himself, for the particular rendering of his ανδρείκελον, showing the typical ochròtes or necròdes face color, according to the contemporary medical lexicon. The pathetic stance assumed by the same figure, the sole in the group which is not bearing arms, seems to confirm his role in the context of the scene
