Total Voids in Concrete01:12

Total Voids in Concrete

516
Total voids in concrete encompass gel water volume, capillary pores, and entrapped air. Gel water (retained within the cement hydration products) and physically entrapped or adsorbed water are significant for the hydration process. For complete hydration, it's estimated that the space needed for the products of a cubic centimeter of cement doubles. Capillary pores constitute the unoccupied space within the hydrated cement paste, with their size largely influenced by the water-to-cement...

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy01:05

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

13.5K
Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy or TIRF is an advanced microscopic technique used to visualize fluorophores in samples close to a solid surface with a higher refractive index, such as a glass coverslip. TIRF only allows fluorophores in proximity to the solid surface to be excited. When light from a medium with a lower refractive index (such as air) hits the glass coverslip at a critical angle, the light undergoes total internal reflection stead of passing through the glass.

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

1.3K
Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the composition of materials. It is widely employed in chemistry, materials science, forensic science, and other fields where sample characterization is required. ATR has several advantages over traditional transmission IR spectroscopy, including the requirement of little to no sample preparation and the ability to analyze a wide range of samples.
The ATR process begins by directing a beam...

Mixtures of Gases: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures and Mole Fractions

44.4K
Unless individual gases chemically react with each other, the individual gases in a mixture of gases do not affect each other’s pressure. Each gas in a mixture exerts the same pressure that it would exert if it were present alone in the container. The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture is called its partial pressure.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Total thyroidectomy is standard for benign goiter but risks hypoparathyroidism and nerve injury. Partial thyroidectomy is reconsidered as an alternative to balance recurrence prevention and complication rates.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Benign goiter is a common endocrine disorder necessitating surgical intervention, particularly in iodine-deficient regions.
  • Current guidelines favor total thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter due to its efficacy in preventing recurrence.
  • However, total thyroidectomy presents significant risks, including hypoparathyroidism and inferior laryngeal nerve damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the extent of thyroid surgery for benign thyroid disease.
  • To analyze the impact of surgical protocols on complication rates.
  • To evaluate patient- and surgeon-specific risk factors influencing surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies comparing different extents of thyroidectomy for benign goiter.
  • Analysis of complication rates (hypoparathyroidism, nerve injury) associated with various surgical approaches.
  • Examination of risk factors influencing surgical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Total thyroidectomy is effective in preventing goiter recurrence.
  • Significant risks of hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury are associated with total thyroidectomy.
  • Partial or less-than-total thyroidectomy is being re-evaluated as a safer alternative.

Conclusions:

  • The choice of thyroid surgery extent for benign disease requires balancing recurrence risk against potential complications.
  • Partial thyroidectomy may offer a viable alternative to total thyroidectomy, reducing morbidity.
  • Further research into patient and surgeon factors influencing complication rates is warranted.
