Sediment Mismanagement Puts Reservoirs and Ecosystems at Risk

Mismanagement of delerium places patients at risk.

OBJECTIVE This paper discusses the problem of delirium and the challenges of accurately assessing, preventing and managing patients with delirium in an acute care setting. PRIMARY ARGUMENT Acute confusion, also known as delirium, is misdiagnosed and under-treated in up to 94% of older patients in hospitals. With the ageing population, this problem will increase dramatically in the Australian ...

Defending Puts the Anterior Cruciate Ligament at Risk During Soccer

BACKGROUND Soccer athletes are at risk for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. To date, there are limited studies on the mechanisms of ACL injuries in soccer athletes and no video-based analysis or sex-based comparison of these mechanisms. HYPOTHESIS There is no difference in ACL injury mechanisms among soccer athletes by sex. STUDY DESIGN Case series. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4. ME...

One dimensional simulation of flushing sediment through reservoirs

Control of sedimentation in reservoirs of dams is considered to be one of the most important issues in exploitation of dams and increasing their useful life. Reservoirs act as traps for sediments and prevent transport of sediments to the river. The deposited sediments will decrease the capacity of the reservoirs so that they cannot be in use any more. Various methods are discussed in this study...
