Dear Dr Geetha Kumararatne The morbidity and mortality rates for the standard Whipple resection operations for pancreatic cancer in patients over 70 years of age do not vary significantly from results for younger patients. However, each patient at every age must be assessed individually, and an evaluation made of the associated risks due to coexistent cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal disease. With regards R.K. Mishra |

You have made a great effort here. Your itsbwee is awesome I mean I could never find these recordings anywhere. Yeah, we would like you to add other artists to the sarangi section. Sarangi is my most favorite instrument. Please add Raga Durga on sarangi, please. Thanks in advance |
