Interrogating and Conceptualizing the Legacy of Thatcherism
Authors: Hay Colin , Farrall Stephen
Published: February 2015

This chapter reflects on the debates surrounding Thatcherism with the benefit of hindsight. Most commentators seem to accept that Thatcherism is now a historic concept—referring, if not exactly to the period 1979–90, then certainly to events now largely concluded. This allows us a degree of historical perspective that was previously unavailable. Current assessments by political scientists of the rise of ‘New Labour’ and of the development of the British state in the post-war period have had to grapple with this period (and, indeed, 1997). But there are other reasons for returning to Thatcherism and perhaps even for preferring the term ‘Thatcherism’ to the more recent ‘neo-liberalism’. ‘Thatcherism’—however hard it remains to offer a strict definition—embraced more than just neo-liberal ideas. Thatcherism combined both neo-liberal and neo-conservative strands and was often at its more radical and consequential when it identified policy targets which combined elements of both.
Commentary
Authors: Jackson Peter M.
Published: February 2015

Thatcher’s economic legacy is represented by a distinctive rupture with the past in terms of the framework within which economic policy is designed. Thatcherism was a counter-revolution to the post-war Keynesian revolution. Whilst this framework has evolved post Thatcher there has not yet been a further counter-revolution that has returned economic policy making to its pre-Thatcher ways. Moreover, Thatcherism paid greater attention to micro-economic details of policy which had been absent from most Keynesian discussions.
Commentary
Authors: Taylor-Gooby Peter
Published: February 2015

Why is it so hard for the Left to produce a coherent, progressive and practicable response to the crisis, when the Coalition’s strategy is so obviously failing? It is hard for electable and effective policy to be inclusive and generous, since the British public is tax averse and suspicious of the poor. The Coalition strategy, by contrast, rests on private enterprise-led recovery, work-ethic values and policies that exclude less deserving groups and is much cheaper. The chief current response from the Labour leadership is to accept the Coalition austerity programme and fit its own priorities within it. This chapter analyses a range of policy programmes suggested by commentators on the centre-left. It argues that any progressive strategy must develop a programme that builds solidarity over time and shifts public discourse in a direction that will make inclusive and generous policy possible, and discusses how this might be done.
Impact of Modified Inlets on Residence Times in Baffled Tanks
Authors: Carlston Jeremy S. , Venayagamoorthy Subhas Karan
Published: February 2015

Sharp inlets, although prevalent, tend to reduce mixing efficiency in hydraulic contact tanks by affecting fluid and scalar transport throughout the entire system. Superior inlets are often not an option because of the prohibitive cost of upgrading preexisting tanks. To remedy this, seven inexpensive yet easily implemented attachments to a sharp inlet were tested on a full‐scale, baffled, prototypical contact tank. Cumulative residence time distributions of a conservative, passive scalar were obtained for each attachment to assess their performance. A study using computational fluid dynamics of the same tank with the various attachments was then performed to strengthen the empirical results by explaining them from a hydrodynamic perspective. Six modifications improved mixing efficiency as estimated by the baffling factor parameter. Five of these modifications produced gains of roughly 30% over the unmodified scenario, whereas the horizontal tee attachment resulted in an increase of over 70%.
On a Piece of Paper an a Pair of Scissors

We discuss the problem of splitting a given geometrical plane figure in two regions of equal area by drawing a line through a given point in the plane. We also discuss the possibility of splitting the figure into regions in proportions p% and (1 - p)% of the area of the given figure.
Geodetic exploration of strain along the El Pilar Fault in northeastern Venezuela
Authors: Reinoza C. , Jouanne F. , Audemard F. A. , Schmitz M. , Beck C.
Published: February 2015

We use Global Navigation Satellite Systems observations in northeastern Venezuela to constrain the El Pilar Fault (EPF) kinematics and to explore the effects of the variable elastic properties of the surrounding medium and of the fault geometry on inferred slip rates and locking depth. The velocity field exhibits an asymmetric velocity gradient on either side of the EPF. We use five different approaches to explore possible models to explain this asymmetry. First, we infer a 1.6 km locking depth using a classic elastic half‐space dislocation model. Second, we infer a 1.5 km locking depth and a 0.33 asymmetry coefficient using a heterogeneous asymmetric model, including contrasting material properties on either side of a vertical fault, suggesting that the igneous‐metamorphic terranes on the northern side are ~2 times more rigid than the sedimentary southern side. Third, we use a three‐dimensional elastostatic model to evaluate the presence of a compliant zone, suggesting a 30% reduction of rigidity in the upper 3 km at the depth of a 1 to 5 km wide fault zone. Fourth, we evaluate the distribution of fault slip, revealing a widespread partial creep pattern in the eastern upper segment, while the upper western segment exhibits a partially locked area, which coincides with the rupture surface of the 1797 and 1929 earthquakes. To supplement these models, we upgrade the previously published displacement simulation method using nonvertical dislocations with data acquired between 2003 and 2013. The localized aseismic displacement pattern associated with creeping or partially creeping fault segments could explain the low level of historic seismicity.
Biodegradation and Detoxification of BPA: Involving Laccase and a Mediator
Authors: Atacag Erkurt Hatice
Published: February 2015

Funalia trogii was used for the first time for the removal of bisphenol A (BPA), a well known endocrine disrupting compound. Biodegradation efficiencies of commercial pure laccase from Trametes versicolor, crude extract of F. trogii and the mixture of pure laccase from T. versicolor, and thermally inactivated crude extract of F. trogii were compared. BPA was completely removed by both the crude extract and with mixture whereas only 30% was removed with pure laccase. The results showed the presence of mediator molecules in the crude extract of F. trogii and also confirm the role of laccase in BPA biodegradation. A mediator molecule, butylhydroxytoluene, was detected by GC‐MS analysis of the crude extract of F. trogii. The results also proved unnecessity of enzyme isolation procedures for the enzymatic biodegradation of BPA. The BPA concentration was analyzed by HPLC and metabolites of BPA were characterized by GC‐MS. The results of both analyses were correlated and BPA was completely removed after 2 h of incubation time. The reaction maximum velocity and Km values obtained from Lineweaver–Burk plots of Michaelis–Menten equation were 7.43 mg L−1 min−1 and 66.35 mg/L, respectively. The acute toxicity of BPA and its products after 6 h incubation period was 98.9 ± 1.0 and 7.5 ± 0.4%, respectively. The results of this study point out the use of an alternative feasible method for the complete removal of BPA from polluted environments.
Increase of load‐carrying capacity of masonry with textile reinforced rendering / Erhöhung der Tragfähigkeit von Mauerwerk mit textilbewehrtem Putz
Authors: Papanicolaou Catherine (Corina) , Triantafillou Thanasis C. , Fabregat Pere Roca
Published: February 2015

Contemporary externally bonded structural upgrading schemes for masonry structures employ Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) systems (a technique that was extended from concrete to masonry structures) and technical textiles (structural fiber grids) embedded in inorganic matrices. The latter account for a multitude of systems depending on the type of grid – fiber material, bundle treatment (dry, coated or even impregnated), grid geometry, manufacturing method etc. – and matrix – binder (e.g. cement or lime), rheology etc. – resulting in the derivation of many different acronyms (FRCM, TRM, CMG, IMG or other – see for definitions below). The mechanical behavior of such systems and their interaction with different substrates may vary significantly (e.g. dry vs. impregnated fiber grids embedded in mortars). This paper aims to summarize all reported efforts to increase the load‐carrying and/or deformation capacity of unreinforced masonry walls against in‐plane loading and second‐order phenomena (eccentric compressive loading).
Local and distant acupuncture points stimulation for chronic musculoskeletal pain: A systematic review on the comparative effects
Authors: Wong Lit Wan D. , Wang Y. , Xue C.C.L. , Wang L.P. , Liang F.R. , Zheng Z.
Published: February 2015

One in four people suffers from chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Acupuncture points stimulation is increasingly used for pain relief for CMP. Commonly, a combination of local and distant points is used. However, the difference between the effects of local and distant point stimulation is unknown. This systematic review aimed to determine if there was a difference in effects between stimulating local and distant points, and the combination of both when compared with either alone. English and Chinese electronic databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials, where local or distant points were stimulated in adults with CMP. Pain intensity was the primary outcome measure. Nineteen were included in the qualitative analysis and 15 in the meta‐analysis. Local and distant point stimulation was more effective than their respective controls in pain reduction immediately after treatment. Three studies directly compared the stimulation of local and distant points and found no significant difference between the two. No studies compared combined local and distant point stimulation with either alone. Subgroup analyses showed that, local tender point stimulation was more effective than local acupuncture points. Local and distant point stimulation induces similar degree of acupuncture analgesia. The benefit of combining local and distant point stimulation is unknown. However, subgroup analyses suggested that local tender points could be important in the treatment of CMP for short‐term pain relief.
A review on vermicomposting of organic wastes
Authors: Ali Usman , Sajid Nida , Khalid Azeem , Riaz Luqman , Rabbani Muhammad Muaz , Syed Jabir Hussain , Malik Riffat Naseem
Published: February 2015

Generation of the huge amount of solid waste around the globe is a major ecological and technical problem. Vermicomposting may be the viable option to handle solid waste in an environmentally friendly way. This review provides a general overview of viability of vermicomposting processes as an ecofriendly approach. The integrated approach of composting and vermicomposting processes provides better results. Further, to optimize the process of vermicomposting, codigestion of organic wastes provides better opportunity for both microorganisms and earthworms to convert the organic fraction of solid waste under controlled environmental conditions. Feeding, stocking density, pH, C/N ratio, temperature, and moisture, by inference, seem to be the critical factors that influence the vermicomposting process. Furthermore, the end product of vermicomposting, the nutrient‐rich compost, could be used for biogas production. Hence, the management of solid waste and energy production can be achieved at the same time with no further costs. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 34: 1050–1062, 2015
Access to Emergency Contraception and its Impact on Fertility and Sexual Behavior
Authors: Mulligan Karen
Published: February 2015

Half of all pregnancies in the USA are unintended, suggesting a high incidence of either improper or nonuse of contraceptives. Emergency birth control (EBC) provides individuals with additional insurance against unplanned pregnancy in the presence of contraception failure. This study is the first to estimate the impact of switching EBC from prescription to nonprescription status in the USA on abortions and risky sexual behavior as measured by STD rates. Utilizing state‐level variation in access to EBC, we find that providing individuals with over‐the‐counter access to EBC leads to increase STD rates and has no effect on abortion rates. Moreover, individual‐level analysis using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth indicates that risky sexual behavior such as engaging in unprotected sex and number of sexual encounters increases as a result of over‐the‐counter access to EBC, which is consistent with the state‐level STD findings.

POCKETS FULL OF MISTAKES: THE PERSONAL CONSEQUENCES OF RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN A TORAJA VILLAGE
Authors: Hollan Douglas
Published: February 2015

This paper analyses the personal consequences of religious change in a Toraja village, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It describes how Toraja villagers traditionally define and respond to wrongdoing and then examines their ambivalent reactions to alternatives suggested by Christianity. The paper argues that studies which attempt to evaluate the relative costs and benefits of religious change should specify the subjectively perceived ‘fit’ between old and new religious conceptions and should examine the manner in which individuals use cultural symbols and institutions to order and make sense of their everyday experience.
THE INDONESIANIZATION OF WEST PAPUA
Authors: Gietzelt Dale
Published: February 2015

Even before the Republic of Indonesia gained control over the territory of West New Guinea (with the controversial U.N.‐supervised Act of Free Choice of 1969), the government had systematically tried to forge new identities for the indigenous peoples, as Indonesians rather than Melanesians. This acculturation process has aimed at incorporating the West Papuan population into the Indonesian nation‐state through the education system, the media, economic development and transmigration. The process, ‘Indonesianization’, is predicated on the assumption that inculcation of the Indonesian world‐view through contact with what are considered ‘more advanced’ and ‘civilized’ Javanese, will ultimately strengthen national unity and allow greater exploitation of the rich resources in the region. The influx of Asian newcomers, many of whom have taken over the administrative, commercial and industrial spheres in West Papua, has marginalized urban and rural Papuans from economic development. In consequence West Papuans are developing a sense of their own racial and cultural distinctiveness and asserting their rights to greater participation in decision‐making and self‐determination.
Cargoism in Irian Jaya Today
Authors: Giay Benny , Godschalk Jan A.
Published: February 2015

It appears that many people in Irian Jaya today are protesting against the manner in which they are, as they perceive it, being denied fundamental human rights, guarantees of social interaction based on fairness, and a reasonable share of economic benefits secured through ‘development’, and are searching for something that goes beyond this: a world in which they will enjoy health and a life of youthfulness; in which they will live with one another in peace and happiness, and have access to wealth without limit. In the past decade the number of ‘cargo’ movements has increased considerably and growing clouds of cargoism are spreading over the territory. In this essay we present data on activities from four areas in Irian Jaya. In the brief discussion that follows and in which we focus primarily on causal factors, we venture the thesis that in all these cases we have to do with (new) religious movements. The recurring combination of expectations based on traditional religious beliefs with feelings of political and economic discrimination may result in explosive situations. There will be little reason to assume that cargoism will decrease significantly.

Shamanism, Sorcery and Cannibalism: The Incorporation of Power in the Magical Cult of Buai1
Authors: Eves Richard
Published: February 2015

This article explores aspects of bodily belief and embodiment among the people of the Lelet Plateau of central New Ireland (Papua New Guinea). Far from being merely a surface upon which power relations are inscribed, as is suggested by some Western theory, the body, for the Lelet, is a central and active site for the appropriation of power. Power can be incorporated into the body through ingestion of substances, and acts of power over others can involve incorporation of their vital organs. Such acts of incorporation, whether to obtain power or to wield it, denote the significance of the boundaries of the body. I examine these conceptions of power as they occur in Lelet belief and in the practices of the shamanistic magical cult called Buai that has been imported from other parts of New Ireland and New Britain. This article examines the acts of incorporation and ideas of embodiment that are deployed in this cult and in the powerful forms of cannibalistic sorcery associated with it. I focus upon bodily practices through detailed ethnography in order to elucidate the complexity of the Lelet's understanding of their world.

The Robustness of Aboriginal Land Tenure Systems: Underlying and Proximate Customary Titles
Authors: Sutton Peter
Published: February 2015

While Aboriginal1 land use patterns may have been fragile in the face of colonisation, and severe limits were consequently placed on Aboriginal people's capacity to physically enact local traditional entitlements on many lands, the basis and key content of traditional title to such lands is not fragile but has generally been maintained with considerable robustness. In this paper I suggest that this robustness arises in a critical sense from the pre‐existing and widely continuing dual structure of traditional land tenure, which may be understood as consisting of an underlying title held within the relevant regional jural and cultural system, which underpins proximate entitlements enjoyed by small groups of individuals. There is scope within Australia's Native Title Act (1993) for the recognition of this system of customary law under the western legal concept of native title.

The Last Big Man: Development and Men's Discontents in the Papua New Guinea Highlands
Authors: Zimmer‐Tamakoshi Laura
Published: February 2015

Big Men achieve that status by making good things happen for others as well as for themselves. In the minds of many Papua New Guineans development promises a direct route to becoming Super Big Men and Women. Mostly, however, it produces inequality and conflict. This is striking in places peripheral to major developments and in situations where not everyone benefits (e.g. compensation to ‘local landowners' ‐ narrowly defined by mining companies ‐ and lucrative urban employment ‐ enjoyed only by the few, mostly male elite). Uneven development pits men and women, parents and children, and whole communities against one another as those less fortunate fail to match the generosities or competition of more prosperous exchange partners. In this article, I look at development through the eyes of one self‐proclaimed ‘last Big Man’. As a youth, Ruge participated in male initiation and worked for the colonial outsiders, hoping to manipulate both old and new systems. He married several wives in the tradition of past Gende leaders but chose one because she had been to school, knew the ways of Europeans and had a keen business sense. In spite of what looked like the right moves and a sincere concern for his followers, Ruge could not prevent his society from being ravaged by inequality or help a growing number of bachelors afford expensive brideprices as more and more village girls married wealthy strangers from other parts of Papua New Guinea. In the end, a clan brother killed Ruge in an argument over land, making Ruge a victim to capitalist development's indifference to local traditions of family, reputation, and leadership.

Wards, Words and Citizens: A.P. Elkin and Paul Hasluck on Assimilation1
Authors: McGregor Russell
Published: February 2015

This paper explores some of the ambivalences and contestations within assimilationist discourses in mid‐twentieth century Australia. It focuses on the writings of A. P. Elkin, using Paul Hasluck's utterances mainly insofar as they throw Elkin's arguments into sharper relief. While Hasluck's version of assimilation was based on the assumptions of liberal individualism, Elkin drew upon ideas of cultural progress and social anthropology (among other intellectual currents) to propound a less totalising form of assimilation, wherein the attainment of citizenship could be reconciled with the retention of Aboriginal identity and cultural distinctiveness. Even so, Elkin had misgivings about cultural diversity and insisted on the need for expert scientific management in attaining the recommended reconciliation.
The Return of the Ambush: ‘Raskolism’ in Rural Yangoru, East Sepik Province
Authors: Roscoe Paul
Published: February 2015

Over the last 15 years or so, ‘raskols’ have become a prominent feature of the cultural scene in Papua New Guinea and have prompted a number of academic studies, focussed mostly on urban crime. This paper documents and analyses a dramatic rise of raskolism in a rural setting, the Yangoru Subdistrict of the East Sepik Province. It seeks to describe how interactions between raskols and the population they exploit evolved, and it focusses on why Yangoru raskolism emerged when it did. Although a conjunction of rising material aspirations, failed economic programs, and the erosion of traditional and modern sanctions probably are important explanations, what seems critical to understanding this sudden rise in crime is the experience some young Yangoru men gained in raskol gangs in urban environments, experience that facilitated their recognition and exploitation of pre‐existing but hitherto unacknowledged weaknesses in the systems of control back home.
Tom's Tambu House: Spacing, Status and Sacredness in South Malakula, Vanuatu
Authors: Curtis Tim
Published: February 2015

This paper is based on video footage I filmed in South Malakula in April 1996. It explores the case of Tom Moses, a man who claims to speak with God. He has constructed a house on the outskirts of Milip village which he has declared tambu, or taboo/sacred. Around it he envisions a new living space, following directions given to him from God. I argue that Tom's enterprise can be understood in terms of a spacing—status—sacredness nexus. This nexus is grounded in a pre‐Christian Malakulan sociality revolving around men's houses, ancestral worship and grade‐taking rituals. This takes place with a lived Christianity which in many contexts is expressed as a departure from kastom. As such, I argue that this ‘spatial’ analysis can help us understand dimensions of local human relationships which purely discursive analyses sometimes eclipse.

Tobacco, Good and Bad: Prosaics of Marijuana in a Sepik Society
Authors: Lipset David
Published: February 2015

In the Murik Lakes at the mouth of the Sepik River, young men debated middle‐aged and senior men about the moral value of marijuana, and the moral status of their community as a whole, as they did. In part, their discourse had been absorbed into perduring, but shifting, genres that preceded the arrival of the drug. On the one hand, it had been assimilated into precapitalist views of trade and several dimensions of conflict discourse. On the other, it had given rise to a combined, partly market‐based, partly kinship‐based view of intertribal trade, as well as to a secular predilection for the drug's perceived effects. Marijuana talk, according to Lipset, comprised an important forum in which Murik men engaged one another, not conclusively, but open‐endedly, in uneasy, nervous dialogue about the increasingly limited efficacy of male agency in postcolonial PNG.
DREAMS, LAKI, AND MOURNING: A Psychoanalytic Ethnography of the Yagwoia ‘Inner Feminine’
Authors: Mimica Jadran
Published: February 2015

In the first part of this study (Oceania, 76/1) I presented the general cosmo‐ontological background of Yagwoia (Papua New Guinea) dreaming and the fundamental dialectics of the contra‐sexual self‐identity of a conjugal couple (Tilm and QANG) manifest in their oneiric encounters. The second part (Oceania, 76/2) was focused on the man, QANG, and the vicissitudes of his soul's power to affect gambling outcomes. I showed that Yagwoia gambling exhibits its true characteristic as an extension and modification of the male‐exclusive domain of hunting, warfare, and the ceaseless in‐/ex‐corporation of the cosmic life‐death flow. In this third and Final part I deal with the vicissitudes of his favourite wife's presence in his life following her death whereby she became a spirit of the dead. Here my focus is on the practice and intersubjective dynamics of mourning, a process which with singular force realises the Yagwoia life‐world as an indissoluble socius of the living and the dead. It is in this context that the ethnographer also comes to experience and appreciate the palpability of spirits as the real denizens of the Yagwoia world.

Declining Inequality in Brazil in the 2000s: What is Hidden Behind?
Authors: Clementi Fabio , Schettino Francesco
Published: February 2015

Ever since the late 1990s, personal income inequality has shown a steady decrease in Brazil. Most of the investigations dealing with this issue rely essentially on summary measures of inequality, which may not capture all the relevant aspects of income distribution. Using the Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios data for 2001–2012, this paper applies ‘relative distribution’ methods to analyse changes that have occurred along the entire Brazilian household income distribution. Despite substantial reduction in inequality, we are able to document also increasing income polarization, especially by the mid‐2000s. Similar patterns are detected for different socio‐economic groups defined by covariates measured on the households. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Support vector regression for near‐field multifocused antenna arrays considering mutual coupling
Authors: Muñiz Jana Álvarez , Ayestarán Rafael G. , Laviada Jaime , Las‐Heras Fernando
Published: February 2015

Support vector regression is proposed to obtain the coupling matrix that accounts for the real behavior of an antenna array in the near‐field multifocusing framework. The obtained model can then be easily included in this synthesis method in order to obtain the feeding weights which satisfy the radiation pattern requirements under real conditions. An example of the performance of support vector regression using information from method of moments is also provided to demonstrate the performance and accuracy of the technique.

Clinico‐pathological factors influencing lymph node yield in colorectal cancer and impact on survival: Analysis of new zealand cancer registry data
Authors: Ahmadi Omid , Stringer Mark D. , Black Michael A. , McCall John L.
Published: February 2015

Background

Lymph node yield (LNY) and lymph node ratio (LNR) are recognized as independent prognostic factors in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Objectives

To examine the relationship between LNY and other clinico‐pathological variables, and the prognostic value of LNY and LNR on patient survival in CRC.

Methods

The clinico‐pathological and survival data for patients diagnosed from January 2000 to July 2012 were retrieved from the New Zealand Cancer Registry. Multiple linear regression was used to identify clinico‐pathological factors influencing LNY, and Cox regression was used to determine the association between LNY and LNR and patient survival.

Results

14,646 patients were included in the study (mean age 70.3 years, 50.1% male). Mean LNY was 17.4. Younger age, right‐sided disease, higher T stage, female sex and no neoadjuvant radiotherapy (rectal cancer) were all associated with higher LNY (P ≤ 0.001). Overall survival in Stage I‐III disease increased with higher LNY (for LNY ≥ 12, HR = 0.67, 95% CI 0.64–0.72; P < 0.001). Survival in Stage III‐IV disease was inversely related to LNR (HR = 0.56, 95% CI 0.51–0.62; P < 0.001).

Conclusion

LNY is influenced by patient age, site of disease and T stage. LNY (Stage I‐II) and LNR (Stage III‐IV) have independent prognostic value in CRC. J. Surg. Oncol. 2015 111:451–458. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: February 2015

Background

On the basis of now dated studies, cirrhosis is usually considered to be a contraindication in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head (APH).

Objective

Examine the outcomes of PD for APH in the presence of cirrhosis.

Methods

Retrospective, multicenter study of cirrhotic patients with APH having undergone PD between January 2004 and March 2012. Cirrhotic patients were matched 1:2 for demographic, surgical and histologic criteria with non‐cirrhotic patients. Primary endpoint was morbidity and mortality. Secondary endpoints were surgical parameters, morbidity related to pancreatic surgery and cirrhosis, and follow‐up.

Results

We included 35 patients with cirrhosis. Twenty‐four patients (69%) were Child A and none were Child C. The Child A cirrhotic patients and non‐cirrhotic patients respectively had complication rates of 79% vs. 43% (P  = 0.002), major complication rates of 33% vs. 21% (P = 0.26), pancreatic fistula rates of 13% vs. 9% (P  = 0.57), post‐operative mortality of 4% vs. 5% (P  = 0.94), 3‐year overall survival rates of 44% vs. 50% (P  = 0.46). All Child B cirrhotic patients experienced post‐operative complications.

Conclusion

Pancreatoduodenectomy for APH was possible in Child A cirrhotic patients with a mortality and long‐term outcomes equivalent to non‐cirrhotic patients. Child B cirrhosis remains a clear contraindication to surgery. J. Surg. Oncol. 2015 111:776–783. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Surg. Oncol. 2015 111:776–783. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Biopsy techniques for soft tissue and bowel sarcomas
Authors: Tuttle Rebecca , Kane John M.
Published: February 2015

There is overlap in the clinical presentation of benign soft tissue tumors and soft tissue sarcomas. A preoperative sarcoma diagnosis would allow for consideration for neoadjuvant therapy, including preoperative radiation, as well as optimal surgical treatment planning, and patient counseling. Image guided core needle biopsy is a low morbidity, cost‐effective, highly accurate approach for obtaining a definitive pathologic diagnosis. Any biopsy approach should minimize the potential for tumor seeding of otherwise uninvolved anatomic structures. J. Surg. Oncol. 2015 111:504–512. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
