Evaluation of the status of heavy metal pollution in surface water and sediments of the Nil River (North Eastern Algeria)

Water and sediment samples were collected from six different stations, located along the Nil River between February and June 2015. Concentrations of cadmium, lead, zinc, and copper were determined. The extent of the sediment pollution was assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely contamination factor (CF), pollution load index (PLI), and the geoaccumulation index (Igeo). The result...

Hyperglycemia control of the nil per os patient in the intensive care unit: introduction of a simple subcutaneous insulin algorithm.

BACKGROUND Diabetes patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and either nil per os, on enteral feedings, or on total parenteral nutrition are often treated with sliding-scale insulin (despite lack of evidence showing benefit) or intravenous insulin (IVI) infusion, a nursing intensive procedure requiring hourly glucose measurements, and insulin rate adjustments. We introduced a subcutaneous ins...

Thoracic Duct Embolization with Lipiodol for Chylothorax due to Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair with Debranching Procedure

Chylothorax is a rare postoperative complication of a thoracic surgical procedure. Here, we report a case of chylothorax after thoracic endovascular aortic repair with debranching for the distal arch aneurysm of the aorta. First, the patient was treated by a medical method (nil per os, fat-free diet, and octreotide), but this method failed. The patient strongly refused surgical treatment. There...
