TOTAL MESORECTAL EXCISION: EVALUATING THE EVIDENCE

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1997
The present paper reviews information from pathological and clinical studies examining the role of total mesorectal excision (TME) in the treatment of rectal cancer. The pathological studies provide information about the spread of rectal cancer within the mesorectum, and the adequacy of excision obtained with conventional surgery and TME.

An Evidence-Based Review of Total Body Irradiation

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 2015
The purpose of this literature review is to investigate clinical treatment methods of total body irradiation within the context of a clinical department adopting a paediatric cohort with no existing technique. An extensive review of the literature was conducted using PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Clinicians Knowledge Network.

‘Total evidence’ in phylogenetic systematics

Biology & Philosophy, 2008
Taking its clues from Popperian philosophy of science, cladistics adopted a number of assumptions of the empiricist tradition. These include the identification of a dichotomy between observation reports and theoretical statements and its subsequent abandonment on the basis of the insight that all observation reports are theory-laden. The neglect of the

Total‐evidence approach reveals an extinct lineage of Paederinae rove beetles from Cretaceous Burmese amber

Palaeontology, 2019
The fossil record contains vital information about the evolution of lineages and is a source of data that cannot be reconciled other than by the direct observation of morphologies.

Total Knee Replacement and Chemical Thromboprophylaxis: Current Evidence

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2011
Thromboembolic disease remains one of the most devastating and potentially lethal complications after elective total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. Studies have shown that 40-85% of patients undergoing TKR will develop venographically confirmed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) if they are not given any type of post-operative thromboprophylaxis and ...

Unravelling interspecific relationships among highland lizards: first phylogenetic hypothesis using total evidence of the Liolaemus montanus group (Iguania: Liolaemidae)

, 2020
The South American lizard genus Liolaemus comprises > 260 species, of which > 60 are recognized as members of the Liolaemus montanus group, distributed throughout the Andes in central Peru, Bolivia, Chile and central Argentina.

Outcomes of total ankle replacement – Current evidence

Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma
Total ankle replacement surgery is gaining popularity and is beginning to establish itself as a viable alternative to arthrodesis in the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis. Only a few studies exist directly comparing these 2 techniques. Also lacking are the long-term outcome studies of ankle replacement surgery.

Total evidence or taxonomic congruence? A comparison of methods for combining biological evidence

Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, 2020
Phylogenetic inference proposes an evolutionary hypothesis for a group of taxa which is usually represented as a phylogenetic tree. The use of several distinct biological evidence has shown to produce more resolved phylogenies than single evidence approaches.

Reconstructing biogeographic temporal events in the evolution of the livebearer fish genus Jenynsia based on total evidence analysis (Cyprinodontiformes: Anablepidae)

Systematics and Biodiversity, 2019
The current distribution of the Neotropical ichthyofauna has been widely affected by the main geological events that occurred in South and Central America. However, robust biogeographic information is still scarce or absent for most fish families.

Reconstructing the Evolution of Giant Extinct Kangaroos: Comparing the Utility of DNA, Morphology, and Total Evidence

Systematic Biology, 2018
Combined “total evidence” analysis of molecular and morphological data offers the opportunity to objectively merge fossils into the tree of life, and challenges the primacy of solely DNA based phylogenetic and dating inference, even among modern taxa. To
