In view of the fact that the question of the use of one or another type of surgical intervention for malignant neoplasms of the shoulder of the scapular region has not yet been fully clarified (which is partly overtaken by the comparative rarity of this disease), and that each insufficiently radical operation leads in these cases to a serious outcome, while on the contrary, a timely radical operation gives good results, surgeons are forced to report the corresponding individual cases, so that in the future, on the basis of statistical data, they can build correct conclusions.

AbstractObjective:To demonstrate the use of an optical surface scanner, with associated software, in the assessment of rhinoplasty patients, and to discuss the possible clinical applications of this technology in the future.Design:Case study analysis of pre- and post-operative scans of a patient undergoing septorhinoplasty at Whipps Cross University Hospital, London, UK.Subject:A 21-year-old man undergoing septorhinoplasty underwent pre-operative optical surface scanning of his face. The scans were repeated at one week and one year post-operatively. Software developed at University College London was then used to analyse the scans.Results:The scans clearly showed that the man's dorsal hump had been well reduced and the nose straightened, with a resulting 1600 mm3 gain on the right side and a 1000 mm3 loss on the left side of the nose. Tip projection had also been achieved.Conclusion:This technique allowed objective quantification of facial features and analysis of change. It may well prove useful in the future in predicting change following surgical intervention.

The main objective of health science is to provide better health to every human being. Indian system of medicine commonly known as Ayurveda has a holistic approach towards the disease and provides treatment without affecting the other parts of the body. Similarly, it is effective in preventing an individual from getting diseased in the future. In Ayurveda, diseases can be classified into two basic categories such as -ailments treated or managed by Shodhan therapy and the ailments treated by surgical intervention. Further, it’s suggested that in conditions where surgery is indicated, one can try Shodhan or Panchkarma therapies before performing surgery or/ if the patient is not fit for surgery or not willing to undergo a surgical procedure. Similarly, Acharya has specified that physician should not advocate Surgery in diseases which can be treated by Shodhan and Shaman therapies (conservative management). Panchakarma is a combination of five procedures of purification- Vamana (Emesis), Virechana (Purgation), Niroohavasti (Decoction enema), Nasya (instillation of medicine through nostrils), and Anuvasanavasti (Oil enema). These procedures aim at plucking away the deep-rooted imbalances in the body.

Patients with chronic damage to the ears have been visiting our outpatient clinics for years without results, undergoing all kinds of therapeutic interventions and, in the end, lose all hope of a cure. It remains, as ultimum refugium, surgical intervention in the form of a radical operation, but the latter does not give us confidence that we will free the patient from his suffering. Therefore, the attention of otiatrists has long been directed towards finding new ways to treat chronic suppurative otitis media.

This paper examines the correlation between strong wind and the frequency of small leisure craft grounding by analysing the available data on maritime accidents in the Adriatic. The primary goal of this study was to verify the hypothesis from prior research that strong wind is the prime cause of groundings in certain areas of the Adriatic. Contrary to the conclusions of the prior research, the new analysis indicates a far more uniform spatial distribution of wind-caused grounding accidents across all the examined areas of Croatian Adriatic waters. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that most grounding accidents occur in light wind conditions, suggesting that groundings can predominantly be attributed to factors other than strong wind. Several important drawbacks of the analysis stemming from the lack of accurate data on accidents in Croatian waters are discussed and suggestions given for the improved collection thereof that would greatly contribute to the future research on this topic. The inability to determine the exact causes of particular accidents from available data makes it impossible to accurately establish the number of grounding accidents caused by strong wind. In the future, more detailed statistical data could improve our understanding of the correlation between adverse weather conditions and recreational vessel accidents in the Adriatic.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occupies one of the leading places in the world for morbidity among malignant neoplasms of the genitourinary system. The frequency of occurrence of bilateral RCC according to different authors is 2–6% of the total population of patients with RCC. Currently, the only effective method of treatment of bilateral RCC is surgical treatment. Patients with bilateral RCC are at high risk of dev eloping of local recurrence or progression of the disease after organ-preserving surgeries, which is why the surgeon is faced with a choice between a high risk of developing renal failure or relapse and/or progression of the disease, depending on the extent of the surgical intervention. According to the literature, in patients with bilateral RCC there was an increase in the incidence of papillary variant of RCC up to 19% and the presence of multifocal lesion. Surgical treatment of bilateral RCC is the only effective method to achieve satisfactory oncological results at a low incidence of complications. The m ost justified option for the treatment of bilateral RCC is the implementation of bilateral organ-preserving treatment, which allows achieving the optimal functional results. This article presents a clinical case of successful surgical treatment of a patient with bilateral RCC with multiple tumors.

The Final Examination for Fellowship of the Faculty of Anaesthetists, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons has been functioning since 1956. A description of its development and an analysis carried out on the examinations in 1969 and 1970 are contained in the paper by Fisk et al. 1 Since that time the examination process has been continually monitored and refined, although the basic structure has remained much the same for the last twenty years. This report presents an analysis and interpretation of data for 1025 candidates who presented themselves for the examinations from May 1980 until October 1987. Recent development within the Faculty is described to indicate the influence these events have had upon the training and examination of candidates for the Fellowship, and statistical data is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the examination process. Recommendations include possible directions that could be taken to enhance both the training and examination of candidates for the Fellowship examination in the future.

According to official statistical data, people with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) occupations and students with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM degree courses. This chapter surveys official reports produced by British and American authorities, as well as a number of media sources, in order to substantiate this claim. The authors' aim is to uncover the reasons behind disabled students being underrepresented in STEM courses and to sketch the vision for the future of disabled young people who may be interested in perusing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Technique of chest reconstruction after sternum resection in its metastatic lesion is presented. This technique includes three methods of reconstructive surgery. For pleura defect closure greater omentum on a vascular pedicle is used. Bony frame is reconstructed using special fast hardening plastic plates. These plates are produced during surgical intervention. Whole construction is covered by vascularized thoraco-dorsal muscular-cutaneous flap. The application of that technique enabled to successfully perform radical operation in 3 with severe metastatic lesions.
