Effects of electrode morphology on the performance of BPSH and PATS ionic polymer transducers by Akle, Barbar J.

“…The performance of the transducers fabricated with the novel electroding technique exceeds the performance of those fabricated with the impregnation-reduction method by a factor of between 2 and 5. Transducers fabricated with the impregnation-reduction method generally produce 200 to 500 microstrain/V while the ones fabricated with the new process exhibited free strain values of greater than 1550 microstrain/V at low frequencies.…”

Surgical Strategies for Synchronous Colorectal Liver Metastases in 156 Consecutive Patients by Bouquet, Antoine

“…The main limitation of this strategy is that it can be offered only in selected patients with synchronous disease,5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 and it is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications when major liver resection is combined with resection of the primary tumor.11, 12 and 13 Recently, a “reverse strategy,” in which preoperative chemotherapy is followed by resection of the CLM and then by resection of the colorectal primary at a second operation, has been proposed for patients with advanced synchronous CLM, and in particular, for patients in whom the primary is located in the rectum.14 The rationale for the reverse strategy is 2-fold: primary-related complications (such as bleeding, obstruction, or perforation) are rare in patients with stage IV colorectal cancer receiving combination chemotherapy15 and 16 and treatment of the metastatic disease is not delayed by local therapy for the primary tumor (surgery, and in the case of rectal cancer, radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy) or by complications of surgical treatment of the primary tumor. …”
