Interstitial brachytherapy for bladder cancer with the aid of laparoscopy

Since 2009, 40 patients with a T1/T2 bladder cancer have been treated at ARTI with interstitial brachytherapy via laparoscopy. Under general anesthesia, the tumor area is implanted under cystoscopic control with the aid of a laparoscope, and instruments are attached to the Da Vinci robot. Mapping is then done via a simulator photo and a CT scan. With this method, the patient has fewer complications and the average hospitalization time is halved, while a consistent quality of the implant is maintained. This method also shows a major reduction in the number of problems that can be attributed to the accessibility of the catheter

On the Owen Set of Transportation Solutions

This paper presents an axiomatic characterization of the Owen set of transportation games. In the characterization we use six properties including consistency (CONS2) and splitting and merging (SM) which are firstly proposed and defined for this setup in the present paper.
