Endoscopic Removal of a Nitinol Mesh Stent from the Ureteropelvic Junction after 15 Years by Tomaž Smrkolj, Domagoj Šalinović

“…The stent was inserted in the year 2000 after failure of two pyeloplasty procedures performed due to symptomatic ureteropelvic junction stenosis. By combining minimally invasive urinary stone therapies—extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, semirigid ureterorenoscopy with laser lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy—it was possible to completely remove the encrusted stone and nitinol mesh stent that was implanted for 15 years, rendering the patient symptom and obstruction free.…”

Solution Algorithms for Single-Machine Group Scheduling with Learning Effect and Convex Resource Allocation by Wanlei Wang, Jian-Jun Wang, Ji-Bo Wang

“…Under slack due-date assignment, our objective is to determine the optimal sequence of jobs and groups, optimal due-date assignment, and optimal resource allocation such that the weighted sum of earliness and tardiness penalties, common flow allowances, and resource consumption cost is minimized. For three special cases, it is proved that the problem can be solved in polynomial time. …”
