Internal Energy02:00

Internal Energy

36.6K
The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

Internal Energy01:29

Internal Energy

6.9K
The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the molecules or entities in the system. The kinetic energy of an individual molecule includes contributions due to its rotation and vibration, as well as its translational energy. The potential energy is associated only with the interactions between one molecule and the other molecules of the system. Neither the system's location nor its motion is of any consequence as far as the internal...

Internal Receptors01:31

Internal Receptors

74.3K
Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

Measurement: Standard Units03:38

Measurement: Standard Units

78.2K
Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Standard Enthalpy of Formation02:37

Standard Enthalpy of Formation

49.0K
Enthalpy changes are typically tabulated for reactions in which both the reactants and products are at the same conditions. A standard state is a commonly accepted set of conditions used as a reference point for the determination of properties under other different conditions. For chemists, the IUPAC standard state refers to materials under a pressure of 1 bar and solutions at 1 M and does not specify a temperature. Many thermochemical tables list values with a standard state of 1 atm. Because...

International System of Units01:29

International System of Units

4.8K
The International System of Units, known as the SI system, is a universally accepted measurement system recognized and used worldwide. The SI system is based on a set of three base units considered absolute, and their values do not change with location. These base units are meters, kilograms, and seconds.
Prefixes are used to define both larger and smaller quantities in the SI system. For example, milli, micro, and nano define smaller quantities, while kilo, mega, and giga are used to define...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Robotic Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Robust quality control is crucial for adopting new surgical techniques like robotic Whipple.
  • International consensus prioritizes establishing benchmark values for robotic Whipple procedures.
  • Benchmarking is a proven method for evaluating surgical performance and ensuring patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the first international benchmark values for key outcome parameters in robotic Whipple surgery.
  • To provide a standardized framework for assessing the quality and safety of robotic Whipple procedures globally.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of consecutive robotic Whipple patients (2020-2023) from 12 international reference centers with ≥1 year follow-up.
  • Reference centers met criteria for high caseload (≥15 cases/year), scientific activity, and prospective data collection.
  • Benchmarks established for 13 outcome parameters, excluding specific complex cases (e.g., neoadjuvant therapy, arterial resection).

Main Results:

  • A cohort of 418 patients from 12 centers defined benchmarks: conversion rate ≤4.3%, transfusion rate ≤2.1%, 6-month mortality ≤2.2%, major complications ≤23.2%.
  • Key complication benchmarks include pancreatic fistula (grade B/C) ≤23.6% and hemorrhage (grade B/C) ≤12.7%.
  • Higher surgical difficulty correlated with increased morbidity; higher center caseload linked to reduced pancreas-specific complications.

Conclusions:

  • This study presents the first international benchmarks for robotic Whipple surgery.
  • Robotic Whipple demonstrates oncologic outcomes and morbidity comparable to open surgery.
  • These benchmarks facilitate quality assessment and support the safe adoption of minimally invasive Whipple procedures.
