Introduction: Surgical management of jejuno-ileal atresia/stenosis (JIA) is shifting to a minimally invasive approach. Our purpose is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy-assisted surgery (LAS) in JIA by comparing outcomes with a control group of open surgery (OS). Methods: A retrospective review of JIA cases was performed. Demographic, surgical, and outcomes data were extracted. LAS cases were compared with OS. Fisher's exact-test for qualitative and Mann-Whitney-test for quantitative values were used. p values

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)-α models are regularized systems used to study the turbulent flow of a magnetofluid, because of the impossibility to handle non-regularized models either analitically or numerically. In order to establish the validity of a model as a large eddy simulation model, one needs to test properties related to the number of degrees of freedom of long-time dynamics of the solutions. Preliminary information is provided by estimates concerning the number of determining modes. We consider the MHD–Voight model for an incompressible fluid and find estimates for a number of asymptotically determining modes and modes on global attractor.
