A 32−year−old man in whom a perforated duodenal ulcer had been surgically closed with laparotomy 3 weeks previously pre− sented to our emergency department with symptoms of persistent epigastralgia and fever. At esophagogastroduodenoscopy, abundant whitish pus was noted stream− ing from the pylorus into the gastric an− trum (Figure 1). The source of the pus was a large duodenal ulcer in the de−...

Animal experiment: Subctaneous injection of suspension of odoriferous pus collected from the lesion of experimental Vincent's disease induced on a guinea pig was made in depilated back of another guinea pig weighing from 250 to 350 grams. The water solutions of Flagyl were injected subctaneously to the other portion on the back of the guinea pig, 10, 5 and 2.5mgs a day for 7 days respectively. ...

This paper proposes an adaptive multiuser Multiple Input Multiple Output-Space Division Multiplexing Access (MU-MIMO-SDMA) technique for uplink access in broadband wireless cognitive networks with multiple primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs) sharing the same spectrum. The proposed algorithm uses gradient search of the channel capacity to seek, iteratively, the optimal transmit weight ...

The most common clinical suppurative lung conditions in children are empyema, lung abscess, and bronchiectasis, and to a less often necrotizing pneumonia. Until recently, bronchiectasis was the most common form of persistent suppurative lung disease in children. Protracted bacterial bronchitis is a newly described chronic suppurative condition in children, which is less persistent but more comm...

The aim of this analysis was to identify the association between incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), its most important etiologic factors (incontinence and moisture), and pressure ulcers (PUs). A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. We searched Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for relevant papers dating through March 15, 2013. Fifty-eight st...

Power control is a key technique in spectrum underlay cognitive network to guarantee the interference temperature limit of the primary users (PUs) and the quality of service of the secondary users (SUs). In this paper, a robust power control scheme via link gain pricing with H∞ estimator is proposed. The scheme guarantees the interference temperature of the PUs through operating in the network-...

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS To cope with intractable pus drainage from persistent pancreatic leak after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), we have empirically performed local administration of high-concentration antibiotics cocktail solution into abdominal drains. The purpose of this study was to assess its therapeutic effect in patients showing intractable pus drainage after PD. METHODS The study group was ...

This work aims at optimizing sludge pretreatment by non-isothermal sonication, varying frequency, US power (PUS) and intensity (IUS varied through probe size), as well as hydrostatic pressure and operation mode (continuous vs. sequential - or pulsed - process). Under non isothermal sonication sludge solubilization results from both ultrasound disintegration and thermal hydrolysis which are conv...
