LOW TRANSVERSE INCISION FOR LATERAL NECK DISSECTION IN PATIENTS WITH PAPILLARY THYROID CANCER: IMPROVED COSMESIS

Low transverse incision for lateral neck dissection in patients with papillary thyroid cancer: improved cosmesis

Abstract Background Various incisions and approaches have been developed for lateral neck dissection.The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical and cosmetic outcomes of a single low transverse incision with the hockey stick incision for lateral neck dissection (LND) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods We retrospect

Microwave Power Limiter Having H-Shaped Slot Structure With Enhanced Plasma Discharge by Electrostatic Potential

A microwave power limiter with an H-type slot structure is proposed as a waveguide structure that blocks high-power microwaves through plasma discharge.At an operating frequency of 5.75 GHz, the electric field is concentrated in Trail Cans the discharging electrode gap; when high power is applied, the plasma limiter discharges, and low power is tra

3D based on 2D: Calculating helix angles and stacking patterns using forgi 2.0, an RNA Python library centered on secondary structure elements. [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

We present forgi, a Python library to analyze the tertiary structure of RNA secondary structure elements.Our representation of an RNA molecule is centered on secondary structure elements (stems, bulges and loops).By fitting a cylinder to the helix axis, these elements are carried over into a coarse-grained 3D structure representation.Integration wi
