Ann Glob Anal Geom (Dordr) 2016 7;50(3):209-235. Epub 2016 Apr 7.

Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna, Austria.

The aim of this paper is to generalize certain volume comparison theorems (Bishop-Gromov and a recent result of Treude and Grant, Ann Global Anal Geom, 43:233-251, 2013) for smooth Riemannian or Lorentzian manifolds to metrics that are only (differentiable with Lipschitz continuous derivatives). In particular we establish (using approximation methods) a volume monotonicity result for the evolution of a compact subset of a spacelike, acausal, future causally complete (i.e., the intersection of any past causal cone with the hypersurface is relatively compact) hypersurface with an upper bound on the mean curvature in a globally hyperbolic spacetime with a -metric with a lower bound on the timelike Ricci curvature, provided all timelike geodesics starting in this compact set exist long enough. As an intermediate step, we also show that the cut locus of such a hypersurface still has measure zero in this regularity-generalizing the well-known result for smooth metrics. To show that these volume comparison results have some very nice applications, we then give a proof of Myers' theorem, of a simple singularity theorem for globally hyperbolic spacetimes, and of Hawking's singularity theorem directly in this regularity.

Heart transplantation in Mexico. 2006-2019 productivity analysis and Pan American and Iberian comparison.

Authors:
Rubén Argüero-Sánchez Enrique M Olivares-Durán Omar Sánchez-Ramírez

Gac Med Mex 2022 ;158(2):90-97

Surgery Department, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City.

Introduction: In Mexico, heart transplants (HTs) have been performed since 1988.

Objective: To review Mexican productivity in terms of HT between 2006 and 2019 and compare it with that of American and Iberian Peninsula countries.

Methods: Mexican information was collected from HT waiting lists (WL) and from the HTs carried out annually in the period, and was expressed as rates per million population (pmp); 2019 information was compared with that reported at the Pan American and Iberian levels. Read More

Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, corporate member of Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Augustenburger Platz 1, Berlin, Germany.

Objectives: Pseudarthrosis after mandible reconstruction leads to chronic overload of the osteosynthesis and impedes dental rehabilitation. This study evaluates the impact of gap site on osseous union in mandible reconstruction using a new volumetric analysis method with repeated cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: The degree of bone regeneration was evaluated in 16 patients after mandible reconstruction with a fibula free flap and patient-specific reconstruction plates. Read More

Br J Radiol 2022 Jun 28:20220243. Epub 2022 Jun 28.

Endoluminal Therapy and Diagnosis Unit. Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre, Cáceres,, Spain.

Objective: To compare the technical efficacy and safety between prostatic artery occlusion (PAO) with ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) and prostatic artery embolization (PAE) with microspheres in a canine model.

Methods: 17 adult male beagles underwent PAO ( = 7) with Onyx-18 or PAE ( = 10) with microspheres (300-500 µm). After procedures, all dogs were inspected for procedure-related complications during 1 month follow-up. Read More
