Transanal total mesorectal excision with triangle rules: a road map to prevent injuries

[Extract] Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is presented as a promising new surgical technique for the approach to the distal rectum, providing the ability to perform a highquality resection, with technical advantages over the laparoscopic approach. However, the new surgical anatomy of the TaTME resection complicates surgical understanding and increases the risks of inadvertent injuries to important anatomic structures...info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Scalar Quantum Field Theory in Disordered Media

A free massive scalar field in inhomogeneous random media is investigated. The coefficients of the Klein-Gordon equation are taken to be random functions of the spatial coordinates. The case of an annealed-like disordered medium, modeled by centered stationary and Gaussian processes, is analyzed. After performing the averages over the random functions, we obtain the two-point causal Green's function of the model up to one-loop. The disordered scalar quantum field theory becomes qualitatively similar to a $\lambda\phi^{4}$ self-interacting theory with a frequency-dependent coupling

Theranostic applications of phage display to control leishmaniasis: Selection of biomarkers for serodiagnostics, vaccination, and immunotherapy

© 2015, Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical. All rights reserved. Phage display is a high-throughput subtractive proteomic technology used for the generation and screening of large peptide and antibody libraries. It is based on the selection of phage-fused surface-exposed peptides that recognize specific ligands and demonstrate desired functionality for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Phage display has provided unmatched tools for controlling viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, and allowed identification of new therapeutic targets to treat cancer, metabolic diseases, and other chronic conditions. This review presents recent advancements in serodiagnostics and prevention of leishmaniasis -an important tropical parasitic disease- achieved using phage display for the identification of novel antigens with improved sensitivity and specificity. Our focus is on theranostics of visceral leishmaniasis with the aim to develop biomarker candidates exhibiting both diagnostic and therapeutic potential to fight this important, yet neglected, tropical disease.Peer Reviewe

Cosmological Effects of Nonlinear Electrodynamics

It will be shown that a given realization of nonlinear electrodynamics, used as source of Einstein's equations, generates a cosmological model with interesting features, namely a phase of current cosmic acceleration, and the absence of an initial singularity, thus pointing to a way to solve two important problems in cosmology

Beyond Analog Gravity: The Case of Exceptional Dynamics

We show that it is possible to go beyond the simple kinematical aspects of the analog models of gravity. We exhibit the form of the Lagrangian that describes the dynamics of a self-interacting field $\phi$ as an interaction between $\phi$ and its associated effective metric $\hat{g}^{\mu\nu}.$ In other words the non-linear equation of motion of the field may be interpreted as the gravitational influence on $\phi$ by its own effective metric which, in our scheme becomes an active partner of the dynamics of $\phi.$Comment: This new version is an extended version of the previous one. All previous results are mantaine

Formal analogies between gravitation and electrodynamics

We develop a theoretical framework that allows us to compare electromagnetism and gravitation in a fully covariant way. This new scenario does not rely on any kind of approximation nor associate objects with different operational meaning as it's sometime done in the literature. We construct the electromagnetic analogue to the Riemann and Weyl tensors and develop the equations of motion for these objects. In particular, we are able to identify precisely how and in what conditions gravity can be mapped to electrodynamics. As a consequence, many of the gemometrical tools of General Relativity can be applied to Electromagnetism and vice-versa. We hope our results would shed new light in the nature of electromagnetic and gravitational theories.Comment: 9pages, submitted to General Relativity and Gravitatio
