ROBOTIC TAPP INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR: LESSONS LEARNED FROM 97 CASES

Robotic TAPP inguinal hernia repair: lessons learned from 97 cases

ABSTRACT Objectives: minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair has proven advantages over open procedures including less pain and earlier return to normal activity.Robotic surgery adds ergonomics, a three-dimensional high definition camera and articulating instruments overcoming some laparoscopic limitations.We aimed to report the outcomes of the e

Neither Scale of Response Nor Threshold in Habitat Availability Is Conserved Across Species of Forest-Dwelling Songbirds Responding to Habitat Loss

Thresholds can be an effective tool in conservation planning, as they can form a defensible target for habitat conservation or restoration.Generalized thresholds must be used with caution, however, as threshold responses may vary with species and spatial scale.The objectives of this study were to identify the scales at which forest-dwelling birds r

Analysis of spatial genetic variation reveals genetic divergence among populations of Primula veris associated to contrasting habitats

Abstract Genetic divergence by environment is a process whereby selection causes the formation of gene flow barriers between populations adapting to contrasting environments invertatop squeeze bottle and is often considered to be the onset of speciation.Nevertheless, the extent to which genetic differentiation by environment on small spatial scales

A randomized controlled trial comparing trauma-focused treatment with and without concurrent personality disorder treatment in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid borderline personality disorder

Introduction Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) often co-occur.There is growing motivation among clinicians to offer trauma-focused treatments, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to patients with PTSD and comorbid BPD.However, a large subgroup of these patients does not sufficie

Aggression and anxiety: social context and neurobiological links

Psychopathologies such as anxiety- and depression-related disorders are often characterized by impaired social behaviours including excessive aggression and violence.Excessive aggression and violence likely develop as a consequence of generally disturbed emotional regulation, such as abnormally high or low levels of anxiety.This suggests an overlap
