Many of these SRMs present in elderly patients with abnormal baseline renal function. Such patients are at risk for further decline following therapeutic intervention. Renal thermal ablation presents one approach for management of SRMs whereby tumors are treated in situ without need for global renal ischemia. These treatment characteristics contribute to favorable renal function outcomes following kidney tumor ablation particularly in patients with an anatomic or functional solitary renal unit.展开更多

By the enhanced modifed simple equation method, we obtain the exact solutions with variable coefcients involving parameters to KdV-Burgers equation, and some new exact solutions are gained. When these parameters are taken special values, the solitary wave solutions are derived from the exact solutions. It is shown that the proposed method provides a more powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.展开更多
