METHODS: The Norfolk Surgical Group Laparoscopic Surgery Registry identified all patients undergoing laparoscopic colon and rectal surgery. Retrospective chart review was performed for all patients undergoing elective sigmoid resection for a final diagnosis of diverticulitis and minimum follow-up of 12 months. Demographic data, indications for surgery, operative data, conversion rate, reason for conversion, complications, postoperative course (days to flatus and regular diet), and length of stay were identified. A telephone survey determined the incidence of recurrent diverticulitis. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the frequency of conversion over time, to determine risk factors for conversion, and to compare the laparoscopic-assisted and conversion groups with regard to postoperative days to flatus, regular diet, and discharge. RESULTS: From June 1992 to September 1997, elective laparoscopic-assisted sigmoid colectomy was attempted in 69 patients. Uncomplicated recurrent diverticulitis was the most common indication for surgery, occurring in 51 of 69 patients (75 percent). No deaths occurred. Complications were identified in seven patients (10.1 percent) including one wound infection and one incarcerated port-site hernia with small bowel obstruction. There were no anastomotic leaks or major septic complications. Conversion to laparotomy occurred in 18 of 69 patients (26 percent). Uncomplicated, recurrent diverticulitis was associated with conversion in 7 of 51 patients (14 percent), whereas complicated diverticulitis required conversion in 11 of 18 patients (61 percent). Logistic regression identified fistula and abscess as predictors of conversion (P=0.0009). Comparison of the laparoscopic-assisted sigmoid colectomy group with the conversion group revealed that postoperative days to regular diet were 3.5 and 5.2 (P=0.0004), respectively, and lengths of stay were 4.2 and 6.4 days (P〈0.0001), respectively. No difference was noted with regard to operative time or postoperative complications. Median follow-up was 48 (range, 13–76) months, and a single recurrence of diverticulitis has been identified. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic-assisted sigmoid colectomy for diverticulitis can be safely performed. Conversion appears to be associated with complicated diverticulitis (fistula or abscess), which may be better approached by laparotomy. Short-term follow-up indicates that recurrence is rare and suggests that laparoscopic-assisted sigmoid colectomy achieves adequate resection. Laparoscopic-assisted sigmoid colectomy offers benefits of decreased ileus and length of stay and may represent the procedure of choice for elective resection for uncomplicated sigmoid diverticulitis.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Tables give the recemmended values for the directions of the north poles of rotation and the prime meridians of the planets and satellites. Reference surfaces for mapping these bodies are described. The annexes discuss the guiding principles, given in the body of the report, present explanatory notes, and provide a bibliography of the rotational elements and reference surfaces of the planets and satellites, definitions, and algebraic expressions of relevant parameters.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1572-9478Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: PhysicsNotes: Abstract At present the fundamental lunar ephemeris is based on Brown's theory of the motion of the Moon with improvements based on the bypassing of Brown's Tables, the removal of the great empirical term, the substitution of the relevant constants of the IAU system of astronomical constants and the retransformation of Brown's series in rectangular coordinates to spherical coordinates. Even so this ephemeris does not represent adequately the recent range and range-rate radio observations, and it will be inadequate for use in the analysis of laser observations of corner reflectors on the Moon. Numerical integrations for these purposes have already been made at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but improved theoretical developments are also required; new solutions of the main problem are in hand elsewhere. Work at H.M. Nautical Almanac Office is aimed at obtaining improved values of the constants of the lunar orbit by a rediscussion of occultation observations made since 1943 and at the redevelopment of the series for the planetary perturbations using more precise theories of the motion of the Sun and planets. The techniques and preliminary results of exploratory numerical integrations were briefly described.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1987Staff ViewISSN: 1573-0956Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: GeosciencesPhysicsNotes: Abstract The cause- or causes-of the excitation of the Chandler wobble is one of the most intriguing problems in geophysics. As a result of one of the most valuable examples of an international programme, the positions of the pole have been determined since the late 19th century with remarkable accuracy. These data have always been accepted as of great importance in the study of the atmosphere, oceans and solid Earth. Recently, new techniques have greatly improved the accuracy with which the polar motion can be determined. Interpretation of the older data was made much more difficult because of their errors-for example the interesting suggestion that earthquakes were a cause of the excitation (by D. E. Smylie and L. Manshinha) could not be tested because their effects, if any, were lost in the noise. With the great improvement in the data it is now possible to suppose that comparable advances will be made in the theoretical interpretation. A discussion meeting at the Royal Astronomical Society on 8 May, 1987 on this topic was held and the following gives a short survey of this topic, consisting of brief summaries given by the speakers. This review is therefore a collective one which it is hoped will make more widely known these great technical advances and to fundamental interest of the phenomena of thepolar motion.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Humoral antibody responses were detected against type 1 HSV in every subject and against type 2 HSV in all but one subject; immuno-precipitating antibody responses were infrequently detected. There was no antibody reactivity against host-cell (MRC-5), foetal calf serum or rubella virus antigen. None of the vaccinated subjects developed clinical evidence of herpes genitalis.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
