Prognostic impact of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio after radical prostatectomy in localized prostate cancer
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has a prognostic value in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer receiving systemic therapy. However, the prognostic significance of NLR was never pr...

A rare case of interparietal incisional hernia from 8 mm trocar site after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy
Trocar site hernia arising from 8 mm robotic port is very rare despite the increasing prevalence of robot-assisted surgeries. To date, there had been only a single case reported in the literature. We report a ...

Reactions of lead-free solders with CuNi metallizations
We have done experimental research on the dissolution rate and intermetallic growth on Cu, Ni, and CuNi-alloy substrates as a function of time and Cu/Ni ratio of the substrate. Reactions that occur when CuNi m...

Development of under bump metallizations for flip chip bonding to organic substrates
Several under bump metallization (UBM) schemes using CuNi alloys as the solderable layer were investigated. Nickel slows down dissolution of the UBM into the solder and formation of intermetallics during reflo...
