Constrained NLP via gradient flow penalty continuation
This work presents a new numerical solution approach to nonlinear constrained optimization problems based on a gradient flow reformulation. The proposed solution schemes use self-tuning penalty parameters where the updating of...

Jan 10, 2018
OBJECTIVE: Accurate and precise measurement of vestibular schwannoma (VS) size is key to clinical management decisions. Linear measurements are used in routine clinical practice but are prone to measurement error. This study...
Comparison of robotic vs laparoscopic left-sided colorectal cancer resections.
TS Hettiarachchi, A Askari, E Rudge, LT Hao, S Sarwar, D Dowsett, A El Hadi, Irshad Shaikh
Feb 20, 2023
Robotic assisted surgery (RAS) has become increasingly adopted in colorectal cancer surgery. This study aims to compare robotic and laparoscopic approaches to left sided colorectal resections in terms of surgical outcomeswith no...
Recumbent vs. upright bicycles
Recumbent bicycles (RB) are high performance, human-powered vehicles. In comparison to normal/upright bicycles (NB) the RB may allow individuals to reach higher speeds due to aerodynamic advantages. The purpose of this...
Tumour necrosis factor inhibitor monotherapy vs combination with MTX in the treatment of PsA

The aim of this study was to review the available evidence on TNF inhibitor monotherapy vs combination therapy with MTX in PsA.
Recumbent vs. upright bicycles
Recumbent bicycles (RB) are high performance, human-powered vehicles. In comparison to normal/upright bicycles (NB) the RB may allow individuals to reach higher speeds due to aerodynamic advantages. The purpose of this...
Laparoscopic vs. open feeding jejunostomy insertion in oesophagogastric cancer
Sotiris Mastoridis, Giada Bracalente, Christine-Bianca Hanganu, Michela Neccia, Antonio Giuliani, Richard Gillies, Robert Marshall, Nicholas Maynard, Bruno Sgromo
Oct 13, 2021
Abstract: Background: Jejunal feeding is an invaluable method by which to improve the nutritional status of patients undergoing neoadjuvant and surgical treatment of oesophageal malignancies. However, the insertion of a feeding...
Comparative Reviews vs. Regular Consumer Reviews
This study proposes and evaluates the effect of “mixed” comparative reviews on review value and compares the results with “separate” comparative and regular reviews. A total of 201 subjects have participated in the experiment...

High water vs. ad libitum water intake for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
R El-Damanawi, M Lee, T Harris, LB Cowley, S Bond, H Pavey, RN Sandford, IB Wilkinson, FE Karet Frankl, TF Hiemstra
Dec 02, 2020
BACKGROUND: Vasopressin stimulates cyst growth in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and is a key therapeutic target. Evaluation of high water intake as an alternative to pharmacological vasopressin blockade is...
