Arthroscopic treatment of septic arthritis of the hip is still not an established technique despite its minimally invasive nature and low morbidity. The goal of this study is to present the results of arthroscopic drainage and lavage for the treatment of septic arthritis of the hip in children over the age of six years. A three portal arthroscopic technique was used for drainage and irrigation ...

The review analysis of twenty two irrigation efficiency (IE) studies carried out in the Ebro River Basin shows that IE is low (average IE)(avg)(= 53%) in surface-irrigated areas with high-permeable and shallow soils inadequate for this irrigation system, high (IE)(avg)(= 79%) in surface-irrigated areas with appropriate soils for this system, and very high (IE)(avg)(= 94%) in modern, automated a...

To meet the challenge of a limited and costly water supply, South African sugarcane growers will have to find ways of increasing the efficiency of irrigation to maintain high cane and sucrose yields. The term ‘water use efficiency’ (WUE) is generally used as a measure of the overall effectiveness of water (either rainfall or irrigation, or both) for crop production. WUE can be defined as cane y...

hematomas were surgically treated and analyzed prospectively. Cases were classified according to the clinical conditions and computed tomography images. Results of the cases that underwent burr-hole craniostomy–irrigation (group A; n 1⁄4 35) were compared with those undergoing burr-hole craniostomy–closed system drainage (group B; n 1⁄4 35). The most frequent etiological factor was trauma in bo...

Air bubbles floating in the bladder dome during transurethral resection of a bladder tumor can interfere with the resection, causing intravesical explosion and increasing the potential risk of tumor cell reimplantation. We describe a simple and effective technique for evacuating air bubbles from the bladder dome using routine resectoscopes. First, the beak of the resectoscope is positioned near...

the dominant traditional view to designing drainage systems explains drainage goals only in terms of crop yield increase and rhizosphere improvement while ignoring the environmental impacts of drainage projects. nowadays, this view has been changed into a new one in which both environmental and agricultural purposes are taken into consideration. depth and spacing of subsoil drains are important...

The efficacy of intraoperative cisternal irrigation using tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) combined with continuous cisternal drainage was assessed for the prevention of symptomatic vasospasm in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Seventy consecutive patients underwent direct surgery for aneurysm clipping within 48 hours of SAH and had computed tomography (CT) finding...
