DISTRIBUTION OF METASTATIC NODES IN N0-1 PATIENTS WITH TONSILLAR SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR SELECTIVE NECK DISSECTION

Distribution of Metastatic Nodes in N0-1 Patients with Tonsillar Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Its Implications for Selective Neck Dissection

Objective:We aimed to evaluate the pattern of neck metastasis in patients with primary tonsillar carcinoma treated by primary surgery and neck dissection.Impact of the extent of neck dissection and level of metastatic nodes on survival were also evaluated.Methods:We evaluated 163 consecutive patients with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma Action Fi

Determination of Leakage Current through Dry Insulated Coating of 10 kV Overhead Transmission Line Wires in case of Their Contact with Trees and Other Earthed Objects

Investigations that were conducted with the help of overhead transmission line model reflecting such situations as wire swinging cross, their contact with fallen trees and other earthed objects have shown that the overhead transmission CARDAMOM line may operate rather long under such conditions.However leakage current may lead to dangerous high pot
