regarding increased limitations on fresh water availability in agriculture and the necessity of finding solutions for management of unconventional waters, some scenarios for using saline water were assessed for forage maize. saltmed model, as an integrated approach, can be used for a variety of irrigation systems, soil types, soil stratifications, crops, water management strategies (blending or...

BACKGROUND Nasal saline irrigation is a common component of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) management. The benefits of irrigation have been noted in primary and postoperative management of CRS. The irrigation consists of physiologic saline solution applied into a nostril via a squeeze-bottle, a bulb syringe, or a neti pot. As the saline flows through the nasal cavity from anterior to posterior, t...

Greywater is considered as a valuable resource with a high reuse potential for irrigation of household lawns and gardens. However, there are possibilities of surfactant and sodium accumulation in soil from reuse of greywater which may affect agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability adversely. We conducted a glasshouse experiment to examine variation in growth, water and nutrie...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To compare efficacy and outcome of daily saline irrigation versus saline/gentamicin for treating chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). STUDY DESIGN Prospective, randomized, double-blinded study. METHODS Forty children diagnosed with CRS were enrolled. Patients were randomized to once-daily irrigation with saline or saline/gentamicin for 6 weeks. Treatment outcomes were measure...
