	Putting a stop to excision in Burkina Faso, by Joëlle Stolz
		There is a strong desire for continuity and excision is often seen as a way of counteracting female education and protecting against the sexual freedom that is in danger of undermining the family.
		Excision is unknown in the Gulf states, except for Oman.
		Sergeant Sanon was called to a village where a woman had an excision when she was four or five months pregnant: neighbours had been afraid the operation might kill the child.

	Bundling of Lesion Excision and Repair Procedures
		Excision is reported as full-thickness (through the dermis) removal of a lesion including margins, and including simple (non-layered) closure when performed.
		Code selection is determined by measuring the greatest clinical diameter of the apparent lesion plus that margin required for complete excision (lesion diameter plus the most narrow margins required equals the excised diameter), before the excision is made.
		Billing for the excision of a benign lesionwith a lesion diameter greater than 0.5 cm or the excision of malignant lesion of any size does not include the service for intermediate or medically necessary complex repairs CPT codes 12031-12057.

	Excision repair invades the territory of mismatch repair - Nature Genetics
		While these findings are significant from a mechanistic point of view—they establish that DNA distortions are recognized and acted upon by the excision nuclease regardless of whether they are caused by base damage—the efficiency of excision was so low as to cast doubt on the physiological relevance of mismatch removal by nucleotide excision repair.
		Transcription-coupled repair is the fast repair of transcribed genes by nucleotide excision repair (ref. 13); it is critically dependent on all nucleotide excision repair proteins (except XPC in humans) in both pro- and eukaryotes (see table).
		In this case, neither the mismatch repair nor the nucleotide excision repair system is able to distinguish 'right' from 'wrong' and may repair correctly or incorrectly depending on the site of recombination or the sequence context of the mismatch.

	EARLY EXCISION AND GRAFTING FOR BURNS OF THE HAND
		Excision is performed without a tourniquet, using a scalpel in a proximal to distal direction.
		Malfeyt (1976), comparing the results of early excision and grafting to cases allowed to granulate before grafting, concluded that it is the treatment of choice for deep dermal bums of the hand.
		Excision is better carried without a tourniquet, since bleeding is the main element allowing separation of viable from nonviable tissues.

	Excision Repair in Mammalian Cells -- Sancar 270 (27): 15915 -- Journal of Biological Chemistry
		The incorrect or damaged base is removed either as a base (base excision) or as an (oligo)nucleotide (nucleotide excision), the single-stranded gap resulting from the excision reaction is filled in by a polymerase (repair synthesis), and the newly synthesized DNA is ligated.
		In excision repair, both procaryotes and eucaryotes hydrolyze the 3rd to 5th phosphodiester bond 3` to the lesion; on the 5` side the procaryotes hydrolyze the 8th (4) and the eucaryotes hydrolyze the 21st to 25th phosphodiester bond(7, 8).
		In addition to the 9 genes identified by human diseases to be involved in excision repair, many rodent excision repair mutants have been isolated and characterized in order to define the entire set of excision repair genes(11, 12).

	Excision (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The cultures that are practicing excision also practice circumcision, and the only reason why our politics are not daring to attack circumcision is because it was adopted by Judaism.
		All the other arguments that are brought by those who want to see in excision the will of a man to deny a woman her sexual pleasure do not even deserve the honor of being mentioned in these lines.
		Excision and circumcision predispose the individual to the possibility of accessing the saint of the saints, meaning the possibility of brushing with the world of Gods.

	Excision for nonmelanoma skin cancer
		Excision is the removal of a skin cancer along with some of the healthy skin tissue around it (margin).
		Excision is very effective for most squamous cell carcinomas and basal cell carcinomas that are smaller than 2 cm(0.8 in.) in diameter and extend into the inner layer (dermis) of the skin
		Excision treatment for basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma has over a 90% cure rate after 5 years.

	NECLEOTIDE EXCISION REPAIR ENZYMES
		Sancar's goal is to understand the molecular mechanism of excision repair and to investigate the biochemical basis of the DNA damage checkpoint response.
		With the exception of XPE, all genes known to participate in excision repair have been cloned and all repair factors except for TFIIH are available in recombinant form.
		Finally, the effect of chromatin structure on excision repair will be determined and the chromatin remodeling factors that modulate the accessibility of nucleosomal DNA to excision repair factors.

		Data from Nepal showed a cumulative pregnancy rate of 4.2% at 36 months postvasectomy in a program where ligation and excision was the most common method of vas occlusion and where postvasectomy semen analyses were not available [4].
		Data from a study of ligation and excision without fascial interposition in Mexico found a failure rate of 11.5% based on semen analysis through 24 weeks [7], similar to the 12.7% found in this study.
		We have shown that the use of fascial interposition in conjunction with ligation and excision decreases time to azoospermia, decreases time to severe oligozoospermia, and reduces vasectomy failure rates by about half when failures are defined by semen analyses.
