Abstract:

To produce while pepper using traditional method, the ripe berries are soaked in a river or a pond for 10-14 days prior to decorticating. To improve the traditional method. Research Institute for Spice and Medicinal Crops has designed pepper decorticator to support the white pepper processing. This decorticator has a good function, hut its performance still need to be improved, as it still produces high percentage of white pepper damage. This experiment was aimed to at improving (he performance of the pepper decorticator. The experiment was conducted from July to Ocktobcr 1999 and divided into two steps i.e. preliminary and main experiment. The treatments applied on Ihe main experiment were (I) disc diameter (18, 20, and 22 cm) and (2) rubber elasticity (5.34, 7.74, 9.79, and 15.02 N/mm). The experiment was designed as a completely randomized, arranged factorially in three replications. The pepper variety used for the experiment was Lampung Daun Lebar. The disc distance of pepper decorticator in this experiment was set at 3.5 cm based on the preliminary experiment. Results showed that the optimal disc diameter and nibber elasticity was 20 cm and 7.74 N/mm respectively. Decorticator performance on the optimal condition were : decorticated pepper 97.25%, white pepper damage as pepper defect 2.46% and as broken pepper 1.98% respectively and the capacity of decorticator was 42.27 kg/hours. In general, the quality of while pepper produced met the National Standard of Indonesia.

Abstract:

PurposeIn Nigeria, the mango fruits consumption rate is high during its peak period and this has always resulted in environmental sanitation problem because the mango seeds are thrown to the surroundings immediately the fruits are eaten. Finding more useful application of the kernel would be a way to reduce the environmental pollution. Mechanical decortication of the leathery mango stone remains the only viable option that can support any prospected commercial uses of the mango kernel.Design/methodology/approachThe decorticator consists of a hopper, a decorticating chamber, spiked shaft, screen shaker and discharge spout. The machine performance was evaluated in terms of decorticating efficiency, mechanical damage and sieve loss.FindingsResults of the evaluation show that the optimum performance of the decorticator was at a speed of 900rpm, feed rate of 250kg/h and power requirement of 2.50kW.Originality/valueMango stones are useful as substitute for maize in finishing broiler diets. The kernel is also used for medicinal purposes in moderation of anti‐bacterial and anti‐fungal activities. Therefore, the designed mango stone decorticator enhances the complete mechanization processes of mango products.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of modern and traditional decortication methods on the chemical composition, antinutrients, Ca, P and Fe contents during storage of two pearl millet cultivars (white and green) grown in Sudan. Design/methodology/approach The grains of each cultivar were either decorticated traditionally using traditional stone dehuller or by using modern dehuller. The chemical composition, antinutrients and Ca, P and Fe contents of the cultivars were evaluated during storage for six months. Findings The results showed that both methods of decortication (modern and traditional) employed significantly decreased ash, protein, oil and crude fiber contents but increased moisture and nitrogen free extract contents of the grains for both cultivars. Storage resulted in a slight and gradual decrease in the chemical composition of the treated and untreated grains of the cultivars. Modern decortication of the grains significantly (P=0.05) reduced tannin content in both cultivars compared to untreated and traditionally decorticated grains. Phytic acid content of the white cultivar was not affected by the method of decortication used but modern decortication reduced that of green cultivar. Decrease in tannin and phytic acid was observed as the storage continued in both treated and untreated cultivars. Decortication significantly (P=0.05) reduced the Ca, P and Fe contents in both cultivars grains. Lower P and Fe contents were found in modern decorticated grains compared to traditional decorticated ones. Storage of the cultivars resulted in gradual decrease in Ca, P and Fe contents. Research limitations/implications Processing methods such as decortication affect the quality attributes of pearl millet cultivars. The application of modern decortication method on pearl millet cultivars has better quality attributes than those treated with traditional decortication. Originality/value The study uses decortication methods (traditional and modern) to improve the quality attributes of pearl millet cultivars. Antinutrients such as tannin and phytic acid were observed to reduce the bioavailability of minerals like Fe. Decortication of the grains significantly reduced the level of such antinutrients and improved bioavailability of minerals.

Abstract:

The commonly used flax process of decortication allows the mechanical extraction of fibre from plant stems without prior retting. The one-type fibre obtained in this process is characterised by very low quality, as it is poorly divided, has high linear mass and high amounts of impurities. This paper presents a description of a newly developed method of obtaining high quality flax cottonized fibre from low quality decorticated fibre by application of a wet degumming process for fibre. The experiment involved studying the parameters of flax fibres after each step of the technological process i.e. after decortication, wet degumming and final mechanical cottonisation. The study covered tests of the following fiber parameters: linear mass, length, impurities, chemical composition as well as thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and scanning electron microscopy images. The results confirm the efficiency of the method applied for obtaining high quality fibre from decorticated flax fibre.

Abstract:

The present study was conducted in Gonda district of Uttar Prades. The purpose of the study was to know the adoption of selected drudgery reduction technologies related to agriculture by the farm women. The 100 farm women were randomly selected for technological empowerment through training from two purposively selected panchayat samities. Personal interview technique was used for collecting data. The findings of the study reveal that manual bund former, serrated sickle and maize sheller were the main technologies used by majority of the respondents as indicated by higher adoption index (60%). This may be due to reason that the technologies were easy to use and handle, cheap in cost, require less effort while operation as compared to traditional methods. Wheel hoe, manual seed drill and knapsack sprayer were the other technologies adopted by more than half of the respondents with adoption index 47.5- 50 per cent followed by manual rice transplanter and ground nut decorticator with adoption index 35-43 percent.

Abstract:

Merker's definition of consciousness excludes self-reflective thought, making his proposal for decorticate consciousness not particularly ground-breaking. He suggests that brainstem sites are neglected in current theories of consciousness. This is so because broader definitions of consciousness are used. Split-brain data show that the cortex is important for full-blown consciousness; also, behaviors exhibited by hydranencephaly patients and decorticated rats do not seem to require reflective consciousness.

Abstract:

The current development of new potential fibers is widening the areas of application. One of the current potential fibers developed is pineapple leaf fiber (PALF). PALF have been widely used as a raw material for pulp and paper making industry in Malaysia recently. Due to its enhanced properties, PALF now is commercialized as an alternative textile fiber. PALF is one of the high textile grade fibers which are commonly extracted by decorticator machine. PALF is silky, fine and textile grade. Hence, it has been widely used to make apparel. Apart from being used as an alternative fiber for home textile and apparel, PALF meet the basic requirement to be used as technical fibers. This paper presented the possibility of PALF utilization as technical fibers in rope making. PALF have similarity properties with others natural rope fibers and its can be spun into rope yarn. Instead of having a good strength, PALF also have a reasonable length as well as can be pliable. All of these are the main principle of rope making fibers. As PALF have meet this entire requirement, it can be said that its have huge potential to be used as rope making fibers.

Abstract:

Abstract BACKGROUND: There have been no reports of biomechanical stability of C1-2 constructs after decortication of the C2 lamina. In addition, few studies have compared the stability of C2 laminar screw and pars screw constructs. OBJECTIVE: To compare the biomechanical stability of 3 different C1-2 construct conditions (C2 pars screw, C2 intralaminar screw, C2 intralaminar construct with C2 laminar decortication). METHODS: Fourteen fresh-frozen cadaveric cervical specimens (C1-3) were used. In 7 specimens, pure moments of 1.5 Nm were applied in flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation. Each specimen was tested in the normal state, in the destabilized state (after odontoidectomy and resection of transverse atlantal ligament), and after application of constructs. After kinematic study, these 7 specimens underwent axial pullout strength testing of pars screw and 50% decorticated C2 intralaminar screws. In another 7 specimens, insertion torque and pullout strength were measured to compare the pars screw and intact C2 intralaminar screw. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between the intact C2 intralaminar and 50% decorticated C2 intralaminar screw constructs in terms of range-of-motion limitations. The C2 pars screw construct was significantly superior to the C2 laminar screw construct in lateral bending (P < .01) and axial rotation (P < .01) and equivalent to the C2 laminar screw construct in flexion/extension (P = .42). There was no significant pullout strength difference between the 3 kinds of C2 screw. CONCLUSION: The C1 lateral mass-C2 pars screws construct was stronger than the C1 lateral mass-C2 intralaminar screw construct. Decortication of C2 laminar (up to 50%) did not affect the immediate stability of the C1-2 construct.

Abstract:

1. In the anesthetized decorticate cat, we recorded complex spike (CS) activity together with concomitant simple spike (SS) activity of the cerebellar flocculus (FL) Purkinje cells that responded to large-field visual pattern movement. The cerebral cortical contributions to the visual response characteristics were investigated by comparing the present results with the previous results of the anesthetized normal cat. 2. The direction-selective characteristics of the CS responses at a low (2 degrees/s) stimulus velocity are well preserved after the decortication. As in the normal cat, the cells are divided into two major types: the horizontal type that prefers horizontal stimuli and the vertical type that prefers vertical stimuli. The CS rate of the former increases during stimuli directed contralaterally to the recording site and decreases during ipsiversive stimuli, whereas that of the latter increases during upward stimuli and decreases during downward stimuli. Reciprocal properties of the CS and SS responses also are preserved: when the CS rate increases, the SS rate decreases and vice versa. 3. For both types, the CS modulation at high stimulus velocities is reduced after the decortication. The half-reduction of the average modulation occurs at approximately 100 degrees/s stimulus velocity compared with the modulation at 2 degrees/s in the normal cat, whereas it occurs at a lower velocity approximately 50 degrees/s in the decorticate cat. 4. For both types, the CS responses usually are driven through either eye in the normal cat. After the decortication, the CS modulation through the contralateral eye is reduced. 5. For both types, the receptive field of the ipsilateral eye extends into both visual hemifields in the normal cat. The CS responses through the contralateral visual hemifield are abolished, whereas those through the ipsilateral visual hemifield are preserved after the decortication. The CS modulation during stimuli restricted within a small central visual field (15 degrees x 15 degrees) projecting to the area centralis is prominent (approximately 70% of the full-screen response) in the normal cat and is sharply reduced (30%) after the decortication.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract:

Background: Greater trochanter decortication is frequently performed at the time of abductor tendon repair to theoretically increase healing potential. No previous studies have determined the effect that greater trochanter decortication has on the pullout strength of suture anchors. Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether greater trochanter decortication and bone mineral density affect suture anchor pullout strength in abductor tendon repair. The authors hypothesize that both will have a significant detrimental effect on suture anchor pullout strength. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Nineteen cadaveric proximal femurs with accompanying demographic data and computed tomography scans were skeletonized to expose the greater trochanter. Bone density measurements were acquired by converting Hounsfield units to T-score, based on a standardized volumetric sample in the intertrochanteric region of the femur. The gluteus medius insertion site on the lateral facet of the greater trochanter was evenly divided into 2 regions, anterior-distal and posterior-proximal, and each region was randomly assigned to receive either no decortication or 2 mm of bone decortication. A single biocomposite anchor was implanted in each region and initially tested with cyclic loading for 10 cycles at 0-50 N, 0-100 N, 0-150 N, and 0-200 N, followed by load to failure (LTF) tested at 1 mm/s. For each trial, the number of cycles endured, LTF, mechanism of failure, and stiffness were recorded. Results: Greater trochanters with no decortication and 2 mm of decortication survived a mean ± SD 35.1 ± 6.4 and 28.5 ± 10.6 cycles, respectively ( P < .01). Load to failure for nondecorticated specimens was 206.7 ± 75.0 N versus 152.3 ± 60.2 N for decorticated specimens ( P < .001). In a multivariate analysis, decortication and bone density were determinants in LTF ( P < .05). Conclusion: Decortication and decreased bone mineral density significantly decreased the pullout strength of suture anchors in the lateral facet of the greater trochanter. Clinical Relevance: Bone density should be considered when determining whether to perform greater trochanter decortication in abductor tendon repairs.

Abstract:

In 1995, significant damage caused by Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) was reported on round timber, both with bark and decorticated, of Norway spruce and fir. The insecticides used against Xyloterus lineatus and Hylecoetus dermestoides (L.), showed an insufficient to no effect againstX. germanus. Between 1996 and 1998, the development of the populations were investigated, the effectiveness of insecticides tested and the influence of felling date, decortication and storage site investigated in correlation with the intensity of damage. The decreasing population density, the activity of the insects as well as recommendations for felling and removal of round timber are illustrated and discussed.

Abstract:

Introduction and objective: Over the last decade laparoscopic surgery has been popularized and developed to such an extent that it can be considered gold standard for many types of procedures in urology. Currently the majority of operations in urologic field can be performed by laparoscopy. This is because it is as effective as open surgery, but associated with less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and has better cosmetic result. The aim of the study is to evaluate the results of our experience of treating symptomatic renal cysts by laparoscopy. Materials and methods: This prospective study was conducted from January 2015 to December 2017 in the Department of Urology in a single unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital. All the patients were admitted through out-patient department. Among them those who fulfilled the criteria were selected for laparoscopic surgery. All patients were diagnosed by ultrasonography and computed tomography to determine the Bosniak classification of the cyst & informed written consent was taken. Total five laparoscopic decortication of renal cysts were performed and the results of our experience were compared with data from published article. Pain and cyst recurrence were assessed during the follow-up. Results: Our study described the results of 05 laparoscopic decortication of renal cysts. All procedures were completed successfully by transperitoneal approach, with no major intraoperative and postoperative complications. There was a placement of drain tube in one patient. The mean (range) operative duration was 68 (40–110) min, affected by the site and number of cysts decorticated. The mean post operative hospital stay was 1.8 (1- 3) days. All patients were symptom-free and no sign of recurrence during the follow-up. Conclusion: Laparoscopic decortication of symptomatic renal cysts should be the standard of care and it is feasible with conventional laparoscopic instruments and gives a better cosmetic outcome.

Abstract:

Background:Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) degeneration is a common source of low back pain (LBP). Minimally invasive (MI) SIJ fusion procedures have demonstrated meaningful clinical improvement. A recently developed MI SIJ fusion system incorporates decortication, placement of bone graft and fixation with threaded implants (DC/BG/TF).Patients and Methods:Nineteen patients who had MI SIJ fusion with DC/BG/TF were enrolled at three centers. Fusion was assessed in CT images obtained 12 and 24 months postoperatively by an independent radiographic core laboratory. LBP was assessed using a 0-10 numerical pain scale (NPS) preoperatively and at 12 and 24 months postoperatively.Results:At 12 months, 15/19 patients (79%) had bridging bone across the SIJ, and at 24 months 17/18 patients (94%) available for follow-up had SIJ fusion. Of the patients with bridging bone 88% had fusion within the decorticated area, with solid fusion in 83%. A significant reduction in NPS scores was demonstrated, representing a 73% reduction in average low back pain.Conclusion:The patients in this series demonstrated significant improvement in LBP. Fusion rates at 24 months demonstrate promise for this system, which utilizes the established orthopedic principles of DC/BG/TF to achieve arthrodesis. Further study is warranted to demonstrate comparative fusion rates for different implant systems.

Abstract:

SUMMARYEven and successful retting of flax through application of a desiccating herbicide and stand-retting is a major constraint to increasing its incorporation in industrial products. With the release of a new form of glyphosate based on the isopropylamine (IPA) salt with biactivator (Roundup Biactive, Monsanto Ltd), a field trial was planted using three flax varieties with differing levels of ease of desiccation at the Henfaes Research Centre, University of Wales Bangor in 2004. The crop was sprayed at four different times of maturity: mid-point of flowering plus 7 days (MPF+7), MPF+14, MPF+21 or MPF+28 using two different herbicide treatments; Roundup Biactive (Monsanto PLC) or Roundup Biactive+Restore (40% ammonium sulphate, AmegA Sciences PLC). Fibre quality was assessed following retting and the ease of decortication was measured. The highest fibre yields were obtained from the MPF+28 spray date, and from the Biactive herbicide treatment. Although lower yields were recorded with the Biactive+Restore treatment, the stems were easier to decorticate. It is suggested that an early sowing date and the use of the IPA salt-based glyphosate with biactivator, and careful monitoring of the crop during the retting process, contributed to the early and successful harvest from the MPF+28 plots, allowing mature seeds as well as fibre to be harvested from the flax plants.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare forced-eruption times for palatally impacted canines treated with and without the ostectomy-decortication technique and to assess the influence of palatally impacted canine pretreatment position and angle on forced-eruption time. Materials and Methods: The sample was composed of 118 patient-subjects with 151 palatally impacted canines treated with the ostectomy-decortication technique (n = 72) and without (n = 79). The orthopantomogram radiographs (OPGs) were analyzed for palatally impacted canine angle and horizontal and vertical position. Recovery time was measured from the start of forced eruption until the canine was within ±1 mm of final dental arch position. Results: The time of forced canine eruption with ostectomy-decortication technique was significantly shorter than without (6.6 vs 21.0 months). Pretreatment canine position significantly increased forced-eruption time in the ostectomy-decortication group but not in the control sample. Conclusions: Forced-eruption time of palatally impacted canines using the ostectomy-decortication technique was 3.2 times more rapid than without. Forced-eruption time increased significantly as a function of pretreatment palatally impacted canine position severity in the ostectomy-decortication group but not in the control.

Abstract:

Background and Objective: Hemodynamic consequences during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with decortication during empyema drainage are unclear. The aim of the study was to assess the perioperative hemodynamic changes decortication during empyema drainage. Methods: A prospective study enrolled 23 patients with empyema who underwent decortication. Hemodynamic parameters were continuously obtained at 15 time points: supine two lung ventilation after induction, lateral decubitus position and two lung ventilation, lateral decubitus position and one-lung ventilation, every 5 min after decortication upto 60 minutes and at the end of surgery. We divided patients into three groups according to microorganisms, group 1: patients with no growth of organism; group 2: patients with staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas; group 3: patients with streptococcus, yeast and fungus, gram-positive bacilli, and mycobacterium tuberculosis. The hemodynamic variables were recorded by the third-generation Vigileo/FloTracTM system and variables for each time interval were compared with the baseline by Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Results: In group 1, hemodynamic parameters showed no significant changes over time. However, in group 2 and 3, both CO and CI increased 10 to 15 minutes after decortication and remained elevated during the remainder of surgery. However, SVR and SVRI decreased 10 to 15 minutes after decortication in both groups, especially, with a more significant decrease noted in group 2 than group 3. Conclusion: Close perioperative hemodynamic monitoring during decortication in empyema patients is required because of potential hemodynamic disturbances especially patients with toxic microorganisms.

Abstract:

1. The patterns and synchronization of low-frequency, sleeplike rhythms (slow, spindle and delta oscillations) were compared in the intact-cortex and decorticated hemispheres of cats under ketamine-xylazine anesthesia. Intracellular recordings were performed in intact and decorticated hemispheres from 58 rostrolateral thalamic reticular (RE) neurons and from 164 thalamocortical (TC) neurons in the ventrolateral (VL) nucleus. In the decorticated hemisphere, dual intracellular recordings were performed from five RE-VL cell couples and from 12 TC cell couples within the VL nucleus. In addition, field potentials were simultaneously recorded from the neocortex (electroencephalogram) and ipsilateral thalamus [electrothalamogram (EThG)] of the intact (right) hemisphere, while EThG was recorded from the VL nucleus of the decorticated (left) hemisphere. 2. The slow oscillation (< 1 Hz) was absent in all 72 VL cells and in 23 of 25 RE cells from the decorticated hemisphere, as well as in the EThG recorded from the VL nucleus in the decorticated hemisphere, whereas it was simultaneously present in the cortex and thalamus of the intact hemisphere. The remaining two RE neurons (8%) in the decorticated hemisphere oscillated in close time relation with the slow oscillation in the cortex and thalamus of the opposite hemisphere; averaged activities showed that the onset of depolarization in RE cell followed 12 ms after the sharp depth-negative (depolarizing) component in the contralateral cortex. We view this result as the electrophysiological correlate of a disynaptic excitatory pathway consisting of crossed cortical projections, first relayed in contralateral dorsal thalamic nuclei. 3. The patterns of thalamic spindles (7–14 Hz) differed between the two hemispheres. Whereas the decorticated hemisphere displayed prolonged, waxing and waning spindles, the spindles in the intact-cortex hemisphere were short and exclusively waning and followed the depth-negative component of cortical slow oscillation. This result indicates that the synchronized corticothalamic drive associated with the slow oscillation fully entrains thalamic circuits from the onset of spindles, thus preventing further waxing. Similar differences between waxing and waning and waning spindles were obtained by stimulating with different intensities the thalamus in the decorticated hemisphere. 4. Simultaneous intracellular recordings from two VL cells or from RE and VL cells showed nearly simultaneous spindle sequences in the decorticated hemisphere. 5. The hyperpolarization-activated intrinsic delta oscillation (1–4 Hz) of TC cells was asynchronous in the decorticated hemisphere. 6. These results strengthen the idea that the slow oscillation is cortical in origin; demonstrate a full, short-range, intrathalamic synchrony of spindles in the absence of cortex; and indicate that the pattern of spindles, a sleep rhythm that is conventionally regarded as purely thalamic, is shaped by the corticothalamic feedback.

Abstract:

Multiple regression equations relating decortication with such achene characteristics as oil content, achene weight and density, in three sets of oilseed sunflowers were developed. Hull content and wax content were included in one set of hybrids. Good prediction of decortication could be obtained from the achene characteristics that are routinely determined, i.e., oil content, achene weight and density. Oil content was the most significant factor, followed by achene density. Key words: Decortication, sunflower

Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the outcome of open surgical decortication of tuberculous empyema patients at their late presentation. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Patients (n = 128) with tuberculous empyema were subjected to decortication for one and half year starting from July 2017 to December 2018. Pre, intra, and post-operative characteristics of all patients were studied thoroughly with a 6-month follow up evaluation of the surgical outcomes. Results: Preoperative conditions were as follows: 6.25% patient had Broncho pleural fistula, 90.9% patients were diagnosed with cough, 34.7 with night sweating, 64.2% chest pain and 79.6% chest tightness. Decortication was performed in all cases, with debridement of necrotic tissue and repair of air leaks in some patients. 70 (54.7%) patients went through right side decortication, whereas 56 (43.7%) patients went through left sided decortication and 2 (1.56%) patients had bilateral. Mortality was 2 (1.56%), 1 patient died of septicemia while 1 of pulmonary embolism. Whereas morbidity was 9 (7%), 3 patients had wound infection, 4 had incomplete lung expansion, 1 patient each had prolonged air leak and post-operative bleeding. Conclusions: Delayed referral for surgery causes irreversible changes in the lung, and prolonged disease condition, which causes increased thickness of the pleura and injury to the underlying lung with a delayed recovery. Open decortication gives satisfactory results.

Abstract:

Decorticate rigidity is a type of abnormal posturing that can make it difficult to move a patient and to change the patient’s position to prevent a decubitus ulcer. This condition poses a latent risk of bed sores. To prevent those complications, we used electroacupuncutre for decorticate rigidity of the upper limbs in a patient with anoxic brain damage. A 51-year-old man complained of rigidity of both of the upper and lower extremities due to anoxic brain damage. His rigidity was exhibited as flexed arms and extended legs, which are the typical positions in decorticate rigidity. Prior to electroacupuncture, his decorticate rigidity was treated with dantrolene sodium and baclofen. However, his rigidity had not improved. This patient received total 41 sessions of electroacupuncture. The patient’s Modified Ashworth’s Scale changed from 4 at baseline to 2 after the treatment, indicating an improvement in the rigidity of the upper limbs. Preston’s Hypertonicity Scale and passive ROM of the elbow joints also improved. We report the observed effects of electroacupuncture for decorticate rigidity of the upper limbs in a patient with anoxic brain damage. Further controlled studies are needed to determine whether electroacupuncture is a useful alternative treatment for decorticate rigidity in patients with anoxic brain damage.

Abstract:

Lung decortication for the treatment of chronic pleural empyema remains a technically challenging procedure that is associated with bleeding and air leak. The recent advent of pure argon plasma has provided thoracic surgeons with an electrically neutral energy source for dissection and coagulation of pulmonary tissue with minimal depth of necrosis. In this article, we describe the technique of lung decortication with argon plasma energy (PlasmaJet, Plasma Surgical, Roswell, GA, USA) for the treatment of chronic pleural empyema. With appropriate application, the PlasmaJet can facilitate the removal of fibrous cortex with satisfactory hemostasis and aerostasis. Argon plasma energy can potentially be a useful adjunct in lung decortication. Controlled trials are needed to determine its role in the surgical management of advanced pleural empyema.

“Decortication” does not distinguish between removing all cerebral cortex, including three-layered allocortex or just six-layered neocortex. Functional decortication, by spreading depression, reversibly suppresses only neocortex, leaving minimal intentionality. Removal of all forebrain structures except a hypothalamic “island” blocks all intentional behaviors, leaving only tropisms. To what extent do Merker's examples retain allocortex, and how might such residues affect his interpretations?
