An 11-year-old mare presented 36 hours after foaling with a ruptured bladder. Uroperitoneum was diagnosed on ultrasound and from the creatinine concentration of the peritoneal fluid. Bladder endoscopy demonstrated tissue necrosis and a rent in the dorsocranial aspect of the bladder. Following stabilisation, including abdominal drainage and lavage, the mare was taken to standing surgery. Under c...

BACKGROUND Root canal irrigation carries a risk of extrusion of irrigant into the periapical tissues which can be associated with pain, swelling, and tissue damage. Studies have shown less extrusion with sonic or apical negative pressure devices compared with syringe and side-port needle or passive ultrasonic irrigation with continuous irrigant flow. This study aimed to evaluate the effectivene...

PURPOSE Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) can be a challenging procedure for an inexperienced surgeon. We suggest an easy technique for TURBT, which we have named the "grasp and bite" technique. We describe this technique and compare its effectiveness and safety with that of conventional TURBT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Monopolar TURBT (24-Fr Karl Storz) was performed in 35 patient...

Two-parameter flow cytometry (FCM) studies of 0.9% NaCl solution bladder irrigation specimens were performed on 48 patients with histologically orderly or atypical papilloma of the urinary bladder in order to assess the value of RNA as a possible second parameter, along with DNA, in the detection of bladder tumors. DNA, RNA, and nuclear diameter measurements were obtained for each of 5000 cells...

Since the salinity of irrigation water is a critical constraint to the production of certain vegetable crops, salinity has been considered as one of the most important factors of irrigation water. The objective of this study was to investigate the response of lettuce and Chinese cabbage to various salinity levels of irrigation water in greenhouse cultivation. A pot experiment was conducted with...

one of the methods of understanding and evaluating the irrigation management is to measure soil moisture, plant indices and vegetation temperature. the present study aims to introduce a traditional pattern of irrigation management (continuous water rotation in an irrigation zone) in the pistachio gardens of ardakan, and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses. a tdr device was used in a one-month...
