PURPOSE To assess the therapeutic value of two different drainage catheters in treating chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two types of drainage catheters can be used to treat CSDH according to the position of holes in the catheter: open-type or closed-type catheter. In this retrospective study, 199 total patients with CSDH were reviewed according to catheter type. Among ...

The current trend is toward requiring undersea vehicles, manned and unmanned, remotely operated or autonomous, to perform ever longer, more demanding, and increasingly critical missions. Longer duration Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) missions will depend on highly reliable control actuation to ensure mission success, survivability of high value payloads, and plausible deniability. This paper...

In this study, adsorption of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as Diclofenac (DCF) on commercial carbonaceous aerogel honeycomb monolith (NANOLIT®-NQ40) was ascertained. Based on, the overall design an treatment should include feasible regeneration process for spent adsorbent. work, adsorption/desorption ameliorated by coupling electrochemical technology (anodic/cathodic polarisation)...

In the study, Drainmod model was used to compare measured water table depth fluctuations on the farm with those simulated by the model, also comparison of measured drainage outflow of the farm drains and model simulated was investigated. This study was made in a part of the Irrigation and Drainage Network of ABADAN Date palms. By statistical analysis of the measured and predicted water table de...

l and drainage has been central to the development of North America since colonial times, with the first organized drainage efforts occurring as early as the 1600s (Evans et al. 1996). Drainage has been encouraged to improve public highways, reduce public health risks, promote increased crop yield and reduced yield variability, reduce surface runoff and erosion, and increase land value. Agricul...

Electro-acupuncture is a burgeoning treatment using the needle inserting into the body acupoints and the low-frequency pulse current being electrified by an electric acupuncture machine. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of preconditioning of electro-acupuncture on postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly.Ninety patients scheduled spine surgery were randomly assigned into 2 ...

Preliminary note The aim of the investigation was to compare and unveil efficiency of electro-hydraulic control (EHR) system to mechanical three point hitch regulation in mouldboard ploughing. Increase of working velocity and three point hitch automatic regulation activity decreased depth of ploughing at both regulation systems but electro-hydraulic system done it more accurately since deviatio...

The application of temporary electro-stimulation is necessary in acute myocardial infarction complicated by the appearance of symptomatic bradycardia, AV conduction disturbances and asystolia. During the last two years, 38 of 892 patients (4.2%) with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infraction with ST segment elevation, required temporary electro-stimulation (27 with inferior infractions and 1...

One of the most important factors for appropriate performance of subsurface drainage systems is having adequate discharge for drains. For this purpose, knowledge about effect of drainage parameters change on drain discharge is essential in subsurface drainage systems. In this article, using change all of the drainage parameters by EnDrain software, changes of drains discharge has been investiga...
