BackgroundLaparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is the standard of care for localized small renal cancer.The most critical step in this form of surgery is to localize the renal artery.In the present study, we describe a novel technique that uses the left lumbar vein (LV) to access the left renal artery during LPN.Materials and methodsThis was a re

Himalayan Alpine pasture occurs at high altitude mountains Water Timer in between the tree line and perpetual snow line.These constitute one of the important land cover.These pastures contain very good grasses and medicinal plants thus traditionally tribal people depend on these pastures for grazing their animals during summer.75% of the total alpi

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) configuration is considered to have the potential of providing significant advantages when compared to conventional aircraft designs.At the same time, numerous studies have reported that technical challenges exist in many areas of its design, including stability and control.This study aims to create a novel BWB design to

Abstract Biting to obtain attached benthic prey characterizes a large number of fish species on coral reefs, and is a feeding mode that contributes to important ecosystem functions.We use Playstation Extension Lead high-speed video to reveal the mechanisms used by a surgeonfish, Acanthurus leucosternon, to detach algae.After gripping algae in its j

Abstract Dynamic contrast-enhanced quantitative first-pass perfusion using magnetic resonance imaging enables non-invasive objective assessment of myocardial ischemia without ionizing radiation.However, quantification of perfusion is challenging due to the non-linearity between the magnetic resonance signal intensity and contrast agent concentratio
