Performance of Two Different Flight Configurations for Drone-Borne Magnetic Data.

The compensation of magnetic and electromagnetic interference generated by drones is one of the main problems related to drone-borne magnetometry. The simplest solution is to suspend the magnetometer at a certain distance from the drone. However, this choice may compromise the flight stability or introduce periodic data variations generated by the oscillations of the magnetometer.

International consensus conference on open abdomen in trauma.

Background: A part of damage-control laparotomy is to leave the fascial edges and the skin open to avoid abdominal compartment syndrome and allow further explorations. This condition, known as open abdomen (OA), although effective, is associated with severe complications. Our aim was to develop evidence-based recommendations to define indications for OA, techniques for temporary abdominal closure, management of enteric fistulas, and methods of definitive wall closure.

Use of floseal hemostatic matrix for control of hemostasis during laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis: a multicenter historical control group comparison (the GLA study gelatin matrix for acute cholecystitis).

Background: In patients with acute cholecystitis undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, bleeding is a common complication that can reduce procedural visibility and worsen outcome. Insufficient hemostasis can also lead to postoperative bleeding that can, in rare cases, be fatal. Topical hemostatic agents are used to ensure adequate hemostasis during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
