Although surgical drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts has been superseded by less invasive options, the requirement for specialized equipment, technical expertise, and consumables limits the options available in low resource settings. We describe the challenges experienced during endoscopic transmural drainage in a low resource setting and the methods used to overcome these barriers. Despite ope...

the primary objective of the current study is to produce karstification potentiality maps in northeast of khuzestan province, iran, using both fuzzy logic and ahp models as an additional tool in hydrogeological research. geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) are used to create two maps depicting the development of the karstification, consisting of five classes, showing th...

foaming conditions of the red beet (beta vulgaris l) puree were optimized using response surface methodology (rsm) with respect to arabic gum concentrations (0.01 – 0.4% w/w), red beet puree (40 _ 60% w/w),egg white concentration( 5 _ 15% w/w) and whipping time (3 – 9 min) for minimum foam density and foam drainage volume as response variables. foams were prepared from various pulp concentratio...

in this study, effect of two genotype imputation strategies, relatedness between reference panel and test populations and minor allele frequency on imputation error rate were examined with using a stochastic simulated population. reference panel and test populations were composed of 1,000 and 500 individuals, respectively. individuals in the reference panel were genotyped with using a high and ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the capability of integration of LiDAR derived terrain and hydrological features with other salinity related datasets to improve prediction of areas at risk from salinity in a catchment area in Victoria, Australia. Terrain and hydrological features including slope, drainage density and hilltop were generated from LiDAR derived DEM and a relative low quali...

PURPOSE To study the effect of drain suction pressure on drainage volume, decrease in haemoglobin level, blood transfusion, and wound complications following total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Primary total knee arthroplasty for degenerative osteoarthritis was performed in 60 (49 female and 11 male) patients. Patients were randomised for high-pressure (600 mm Hg) or low-pressure (350 mm Hg) pos...

Basin morphometry is a means of numerically analysing or mathematically quantifying different aspects of a drainage basin. In the present study, morphometric analysis of the Baitarani basin has been carried out using earth observation data and geographical information system (GIS) techniques. The morphometric parameters considered for analyses include the linear, areal and relief aspects of the...
