A wireless sensor network is used as a distributed system for measuring plant water content in crop fields. The WSN works as a radiometric sensor which gets the information about vegetation water content from the RF communication signals. No specific sensor is needed. The equations of the measurement process are developed based on the two ray propagation model. Experimental results obtained in ...

PURPOSE Surgical site infection (SSI) after open abdominal surgery is still a frequently reported nosocomial infection. To reduce the incidence of SSI, triclosan-coated sutures with antiseptic activity (Vicryl Plus) were developed. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of Vicryl Plus on SSI after gastric cancer surgery via midline laparotomy. METHODS A total of 916 patients who unde...

Introduction Acute pyelonephritis (AP) is a urinary tract infection (UTI) that passes from the lower urinary tract to the upper tract resulting in bacterial invasion of the renal parenchyma. Hematogenous spread to the kidney can occur in cases of endocarditis and IV drug abuse. There are an estimated 250,000 cases of AP per year in the United States. Most episodes are uncomplicated but hospital...

There are conflicting reports on the possible positive association between coronary disease and dementia. The objectives of this study were to examine the association between coronary disease, as measured by myocardial infarction and cardiac death, and dementia in a population-based study. By use of the record-linkage system of the Rochester Epidemiology Project, 916 cases of dementia and 916 a...
