Total and segmental liver volume variations by Abdalla, Eddie

“…This reproducible, noninvasive procedure is necessary because significant interpatient variation is believed to exist in the relative contributions of the hepatic segments to TLV.11 CT volumetry accurately predicts TLV on the basis of body surface area or body weight,12 which may achieve the true goal of preoperative CT volumetry of the liver, that is to estimate the individual patient's hepatic metabolic demands after resection or transplantation.7 Complications associated with technical aspects of liver surgery are decreasing, and focus has concurrently shifted to analysis of postoperative complications after major hepatic resection and liver transplantation on the basis of liver remnant volume and graft volume.3., 4., 6., 7., 8. and 13. …”

Application of the electric resistance tomographic technique to investigate its efficacy in cuttings transport in horizontal drilling scenarios by Muhammad Saad Khan (16724634)

“…The results highlighted that the ERT technique is useful in situ tool for detecting solid particles in various cuttings transport scenarios (different drilling fluids, mass flow rates, and eccentricities). The findings also revealed that an increase in the liquid flow rate influenced cuttings transport. …”

Cortical versus cancellous screws in treating medial malleolar fractures by Yammine, Kaissar

“…Objectives The aim of this study is to systematically collate comparative clinical and biomechanical evidence on the effectiveness and complications of the PT versus FT screw constructs in the treatment of medial malleolar fractures. Results Based on 7 studies (8 subgroups), similar weighted healing rates were found from pooling 3 clinical studies with the time to heal outcome significantly shorter following FT compared to FT screws. …”
