Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy(SG) as a bariatric procedure was introduced by Marceau, where-in he modified Scopinaro’s bilio-pancreatic division by adding a longitudinal gastric resection. [1] Although initially introduced as a first-stage procedure, Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy(LSG) has gained popularity as a primary restrictive bariatric procedure. The ASMBS,in it’s updated position statement on sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as a bariatric procedure, recognises SG as an acceptable primary…
Ever since I can remember, I've been very involved in athletics. Growing up, I played for every recreation league softball, basketball, volleyball, and soccer team offered.

There are those who live for the sun and can spend hours out soaking up the feeling of warmth. Then there are those who prefer to stay inside and escape from the powerful UV rays that come in contact with their body. Both types of people are at fault in the way in which they are using the sun. Those who spend too much time outside may develop skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common cancer; about 3.5 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer are diagnosed each year. Another 73,000…
Nanoparticles (NPs) have piqued the interest of scientists because of their distinct physical, chemical and biological properties when compared to bulk material. These differences in characteristics can be attributed to the high surface-to-volume ratio (SA:V) of NPs compared to bulk material. Since NPs have a higher SA:V than bulk material, they are more reactive than their bulk counterparts; therefore, the surface characteristics of NPs can be easily manipulated. (Xuefei et al, 2014) Metal NPs…

Sulfamethazine remediation potential of Arabidopsis thaliana root ABSTRACT The use of antibiotics in animals either as a growth promoting or as a disease treating agent has become a worldwide trend. Antibiotics being stable bioactive compounds are not fully absorbed into the animal system and are released into the environment through animal manure. This study aims to discern the effect of one such veterinary antibiotic, sulfamethazine, on Arabidopsis thaliana root and also the possible…
Technicians will use Across Forest Migration to export the GPO and import it into the new Windows 8 production environment. After GPO migration, users will authenticate to the HACKM domain and therefore will not be required to use a Microsoft account with the new Windows 8 systems. Data Backup & Restore Data protection is crucial for HACKM continuity after the migration. Technicians will: 1. Identify the critical data that needs to be archived 2. Archive this data to dedicated backup servers…
General Motors firebird has 4 installments of the car. That was released through 1953 – 1964 it was created to go 200 mph. In 1956 the General Firebird II was on display at the Motorama to show customer the new model of the car. The Firebird was made titanium metal that made the car strong.
