Vanek tumor -endo-laparoscopic approach
:Vanek’s tumor was first reported in 1949 as a benign
gastrointestinal (GI) submucosal alteration, being more
prevalent at the stomach (70%) and ileum (20%). This
entity corresponds to 0.1% of all gastric polyps, and its
diagnosis is mostly incidental when searching for an
upper gastrointestinal bleeding cause. The authors present a case and iconography of a Vanek lesion
Energy for a Shared Development Agenda: Global Scenarios and Governance Implications
This report combines a global assessment of energy scenarios up to 2050, case studies of energy access and low-carbon efforts around the world, and a review of the technological shifts, investments, policies and governance structures needed to bring energy to all.
How can the world meet energy needs for human and economic development in a way that is compatible with sustainable development? What is required is nothing less than a massive transformation of energy systems and rapid turnovers of infrastructure and technology, all of which must be achieved while staying within climate and resource constraints.
Though the challenge is great, the energy and sustainability scenarios in this report show that it can be met. However, while these scenarios sketch out transformation pathways in broad strokes, the devil is in the detail. This study also explores how to successfully implement change, via case studies of energy transformation and reviews of policy mechanisms and governance frameworks.
Over the coming decade, policymakers around the world need to build a shared development agenda to address these challenges. It is hoped that this study will help to lay the foundations for such an effort
Minimally invasive treatment of gastric GIST by endo-laparoscopy
The gastrointestinal stromal tumor,s (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. Surgery is the primary therapeutic approach. Objective: To present the results of patients undergoing combined endo-laparoscopic (ELC) approach as a minimally invasive treatment for gastric GIST
