Appendectomy is normally performed as an urgent or emergency procedure to treat complicated acute appendicitis.

Advanced pelvic sepsis occasionally requires a lower midline laparotomy. Complicated ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bureaucracy
The term bureaucracy () refers to a body of non-elected governing officials as well as to an administrative policy-making group. Historically, a bureaucracy was a government administration managed by departments staffed with non-elected officials. Today, bureaucracy is the administrative system governing any large institution, whether publicly owned or privately owned. The public administration in many jurisdictions and sub-jurisdictions exemplifies bureaucracy, but so does any centralized hierarchical structure of an institution, e.g. hospitals, academic entities, business firms, professional societies, social clubs, etc. There are two key dilemmas in bureaucracy. The first dilemma revolves around whether bureaucrats should be autonomous or directly accountable to their political masters. The second dilemma revolves around bureaucrats' behavior strictly following the law or whether they have leeway to determine appropriate solutions for varied circumstances. Various commen ...

La Ronde (play)
''La Ronde'' (also known by its original German title, ''Reigen'') is a play in which ten people form an unwitting interpersonal circle with their secret, sexual relationships. It was written by Arthur Schnitzler in 1897 and was controversial at that time. It scrutinizes the sexual morality and class ideology of its day through successive encounters between pairs of characters (before or after a sexual encounter). By choosing characters across all levels of society, the play offers social commentary on how sexual contact transgresses class boundaries. Printed privately in 1900, it was not publicly performed until 1920, when it provoked strong reactions. The play's two titles —in German ''Reigen'' and in French ''La Ronde''— refer to a round dance, as portrayed in the English rhyme Ring a Ring o' Roses. Publication and reception ''La Ronde'' was first printed in 1900 for private circulation amongst friends. In 1903, the first German-language edition was published in Vienna, ...
