An Analysis of Laparoscopic and Robotic Minimally Invasive Surgeries: Surgeon Experience, Learning, and Task Performance

Journal of Operations Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study examines the transfer of learning in the context of different surgical methods used to complete surgical procedures. Surgeons' total experience is characterized by the procedure (i.e., focal or different) and the surgical technology or method used (i.e., laparoscopic‐assisted minimally invasive surgery [LAS] or robot‐assisted ...

Probiotic consumption reduces alveolar bone loss and kidney damage in pregnant rats with experimental periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 (B. lactis HN019) is a probiotic bacterial strain with immunomodulatory properties. Its benefits have been observed in healthy and systemically compromised animals with periodontitis (PD). Our objective was to investigate the local and systemic effects of the systemic administration of B.

Periodontitis and high phosphate intake alone or in combination adversely affect the kidney

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis and high phosphate (HP) intake can negatively affect the kidney in the presence of renal disease. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of periodontitis or HP intake, either alone or concurrently, on the periodontal tissue and the kidney under normal renal conditions.

[Laparoscopic nephrectomy].

Archivio italiano di urologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale [di] Societa italiana di ecografia urologica e nefrologica, 1993
Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a new procedure in which the entire kidney is removed introducing it in an Endopouch and, after morcellation pulled out through a 12 mm port. After an initial experimental experience, in our Institute we have performed one laparoscopic nephrectomy for left pyelonephritic kidney and ureteral reflux. The operation required the
