A simply connected surface of general type with p_g=0 and K^2=2
In this paper we construct a simply connected, minimal, complex surface of general type with p_g=0 and K^2=2 using a rational blow-down surgery and Q-Gorenstein smoothing theory.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures.

High‐Risk Comorbidity Combinations in Older Patients Undergoing Emergency General Surgery
Over a million older patients in the United States are admitted yearly for emergency general surgery (EGS) conditions. Seven procedure types dominate: colon, small bowel, gallbladder, ulcer disease, adhesiolysis, appendix, and laparotomy operations.

Dwyer's filtration and topology of 4-manifolds [PDF]
Topological 4-dimensional surgery is conjectured to fail, in general, for free fundamental groups. M. Freedman and P. Teichner have shown that surgery problems with an arbitrary fundamental group have a solution, provided they satisfy a certain condition on Dwyer's filtration on second homology. We give a new geometric proof of this result, and analyze

Risk stratification tools in emergency general surgery
The use of risk stratification tools (RST) aids in clinical triage, decision making and quality assessment in a wide variety of medical fields. Although emergency general surgery (EGS) is characterized by a comorbid, physiologically acute patient ...

Clinical Outcome and Recurrence of Open versus Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication in the Republic of Kazakhstan during 2010-2021 [PDF]
Background: Surgical treatment of recurrent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) negatively affects patients’ quality of life (QoL). Determination of risk factors is essential when considering a surgical approach.

The Laplacian on hyperbolic 3-manifolds with Dehn surgery type singularities [PDF]
We study the spectrum of the Laplacian on hyperbolic 3-manifolds with Dehn surgery type singularities and its dependence on the generalized Dehn surgery coefficients.

Past, present, and future of Emergency General Surgery in the USA
Emergency General Surgery (EGS) patients represent a unique group of acutely ill surgical patients at high risk for death and complications. Since the inception of EGS as a surgical subspecialty in the early 2000s, there have been significant ...

Multimodal management strategies for chronic pain after spinal surgery: a comprehensive review [PDF]
“Chronic pain after spinal surgery” (CPSS) is a nonspecific term for cases in which the end result of surgery generally does not meet the preoperative expectations of the patient and surgeon.
