Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has spread rapidly throughout the world in the last decade. We sought to demonstrate the impact of the emergence of CA-MRSA in Western Canada on physician visits, incision-and-drainage procedures, and antibiotic prescribing for skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI). We used the provincial physician billing system to det...

Background and Aims: Perianal abscess is one of the most frequent proctological disorders and needs urgent treatment. Incision and drainage consists the gold standard therapy of this disorder. However, due to high rates of abscess recurrence, few surgeons favor primary fistula treatment at the time of abscess drainage to decrease the risk of recurrence. This clinical study was designed to compa...

This paper focuses on the integration of basin sediment transport with a physically-based hydrological model that links the water budget model WaSiM (Water Simulation Model) to the erosion model AGNPS__5. The results of the water budget simulation are then incorporated into the AGNPS_5 model to calculate sediment transport. The surface runoff calculated in WaSiM replaces the SCS curve number ru...
