The authors present a 61-year-old patient with ileum carcinoma and multiple liver metastases, admitted for epigastralgia, abdominal distension, asthenia, pallor and significant weight loss.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The modern surgical treatment of primary or secondary knee osteoarthritis (OA) includes a variety of methods. Arthroscopy is the less invasive procedure of all but this technique needs an expensive equipment and a skilled orthopaedic surgeon. Favourable postoperative results are conditioned by a correct indication. The aim of the study was to evaluate using an own-devised clinical rating system the effects of arthroscopic debridement in selected patients diagnosed with knee OA.

ABSTRACT

The basic features scrutinized during the analysis of the 3D flow in blood vessels are the flow separation and reattachment at the vessel wall where two stagnation points appear. An interesting aspect of the flow structure in a 3D stenosis model is the generation and propagation of a vortex, downstream of the constricted region.
