Laparoscopic versus open ventral hernia repair: longitudinal outcomes and cost analysis using statewide claims data.
Surg Endosc
March 2016
Department of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: There is still considerable debate regarding the best operative approach to ventral hernia repair. Using two large statewide databases, this study sought to evaluate the longitudinal outcomes and associated costs of laparoscopic and open ventral hernia repair.
Methods: All patients undergoing elective ventral hernia repair from 2007-2011 were identified from inpatient discharge data from California and New York.
Medical waiver experience at U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command, 1992-2003.

December 2004
U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, Brooks City-Base, TX 78235, USA.
Introduction: Strict physical standards are applied to military applicants and service members, but these standards can be waived on a case-by-case basis when a member is felt to be capable of continued service in spite of their infirmity. Knowledge of the waiver experience at the unit or major command (MAJCOM) level could yield important operational risk management insight. The present study examined the waiver experience at Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) from 1992 through 2003.

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons may give origin to ascending branches that terminate in the dorsal column nuclei (DCN); uncertainties still exist with regard to the proportion of these neurons in different DRGs and to the type of these neurons. The percentage and size of neurons that project to the DCN were determined in a large number of DRGs by means of the retrograde transport of colloidal gold-labeled wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to enzymatically inactive horseradish peroxidase (WGAapoHRP-AU). A total of 16,239 neurons was tallied in 80 DRGs from nine rats; 3,240 (20%) of these were retrogradely labeled by the tracer injected in the DCN.
