There is a currently a general trend towards organ-preserving surgery, and urology is no exception. Specifically, nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) has gained general acceptance for T1a renal cell carcinoma (guidelines recommendations). Moreover T1b, T2 and even T3 stage tumors have been included on the nephron sparing list at some centers. An unresolved issue is that of positive surgical margins (PSM), not only their detection but also the implications for follow up and treatment. This paper highlights data available on risk factors for PSM, their clinical relevance, and possible therapeutic consequences. From the surgeon's viewpoint, NSS is a daring and risky surgical procedure. Urological guidelines stress the importance of NSS, and thus the trend is moving in that direction. Unresolved, however, is the problem of PSM. Trifecta, MIC, and pentafecta are applicable concepts which attempt to define the optimal endpoint of NSS, but further elaboration is necessary. Specifically, research needs to focus less on the concept of definitive margins and more on their identification and avoidance. Although some studies suggest that PSMs do not influence overall survival rate, the basic idea of preserving tissue that is not cancerous leads to further medical, social, and psychological considerations.

“…The studies indicate that more than 86 % of the exergy loss from the whole unit comes from the furnace, a feed heater. A rigorous model of the CDU was developed for the study of its dynamics [11] and heat integration [12]. For the optimization of the sulfur-removal process from crude oil, a detailed model of the sweetening column was developed, and its performance was demonstrated [13].…”

An Energy‐Efficient Crude Distillation Unit with a Prefractionator

An energy‐efficient crude distillation unit (CDU) was proposed, and its performance was evaluated and compared with that of a conventional CDU. The problem of the large energy demand associated with the single‐column operation of a conventional CDU was solved with a two‐column operation – a prefactionator and a main column – in the proposed CDU. The two‐column operation reduces feed‐tray mixing, and thus raises the thermodynamic efficiency of the CDU. The proposed unit has reduced heating and cooling duty compared with that of the conventional unit. The proposed unit also has fewer investment and utility costs. Vapor and liquid flow connections between the two columns are readily available by adjusting the difference in column operating pressure.

“…The prevalence of psoriasis varies by country, varying between 0.09% and 11.4% [1,2]. The death of these patients generally does not occur because of psoriasis, but rather because of associated co-morbidities, especially cardiovascular events [3][4][5]. Globally, in 2016 stroke was ranked as the second cause of death (10.2%) after ischemic heart disease.…”

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory systemic disorder that associates many cardiovascular comorbidities. The association between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease is a complex one, which implies many risk factors, such as age, gender, heredity, smoking, alcohol and stress. The prognosis of patients with psoriasis may be improved by identifying and reduction of these cardiovascular risk factors. The objective of our study was to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among patients with psoriasis from Bucharest and Ilfov county, Romania. 634 individuals from the general population were initially included. From these individuals, 208 patients with psoriasis have been selected for inclusion in our observational study. The patients were selected from Elias Emergency Hospital of Bucharest, Romania, and through the family doctors praxis, between 2010-2017. Of the 634 individuals from the general population, 208 patients (33%) were identified as patients with a diagnosis of vulgar psoriasis, confirmed by the dermatologist, forming the study group. The presence of risk factors is consistent with the presence of cardiovascular disease (23%) in the studied group. Patients with psoriasis, without cardiovascular diseases, have an increased risk of developing them throughout their lives. Patients with psoriasis have a very high risk of developing life-long cardiovascular disease, because of a multitude of risk factors associated with psoriasis. Intervention on modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease can be mediated by a family doctor, who can monitor the development over time and may also intervene early when appropriate.
