To View the Full Program, Please Visit: www.orlive.com Join colorectal surgeons Michael Stamos, MD, FACS, FASCRS, of the University of California Irvine Medical Center, and James W. Fleshman, MD, FACS, FASCRS, of the Washington University School of Medicine, as they highlight the use of Advanced Energy in Colorectal surgery. The advent of NOTES (Natural Orifice Trans En Surgery) and LESS (Laparo Endoscopic Single Site Surgery) has re-invigorated the surgical community to a degree unseen since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy some two decades ago. While NOTES has great potential, widespread use is probably a decade or more away, barring an as yet unforeseen technologic breakthrough. LESS, on the other hand, holds great promise as a current approach, not just for the future. However, aspects of LESS approaches for colorectal resection are problematic due to the complexity of colorectal procedures. With this in mind, we have approached the operation using a variation of LESS which we have termed no visible scar colectomy. This technique and surgical approach will be discussed. |

The PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test can help to detect prostate cancer. We interviewed 42 men and 1 man’s wife about their experiences of PSA testing. This video contains extracts from those interviews. For more, please visit www.healthtalkonline.org
www.healthdialog.com The PSA test is a blood test that looks for elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen, which could lead to a diagnosis of prostate cancer. For men considering having a PSA test, it is important to fully understand how the test works and the implications of the test results. This video was jointly produced by Health Dialog and the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making. |
Another explosion at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant – 14 March, 2011 Posted: 24 Oct 2011 08:16 PM PDT
Troubles continue at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear-power complex since earthquake and tsunami crippled its cooling systems. Japan’s nuclear safety agency says an explosion has been heard at Unit 2 of the country’s stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear-power plant. An agency spokesman said on national television that the explosion was heard at 6:10am local time (21:10 GMT) on Tuesday. The troubles at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant began when a massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan’s northeast on Friday knocked out power, crippling cooling systems needed to keep nuclear fuel from melting down. A second explosion rocked the complex on Monday, sending a plume of smoke into the air but the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that the reactor had not been damaged. The World Health Organisation said there was a minimal public heath risk. However, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), the power company that runs the nuclear plant, said later on Monday that fuel rods at one of the reactors had become fully exposed again, meaning the water being pumped in to cool the reactors is evaporating due to the heat. Japanese nuclear officials worked to quell concerns and announced the distribution of 230000 units of stable iodine. Iodine can be used to help protect against thyroid cancer in the case of radioactive exposure. Yukio Edano, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, said that a large-scale radiation leak was unlikely. He said the reactor’s inner containment vessel holding the … |
