Sediment hyperpycnal flow is one of the most important processes for mass transport, which essential to coastal morphodynamics. Herein, we studied generation and maintenance sediment in Yellow River Estuary (YRE) using a three-dimensional finite volume ocean model (FVCOM). The considered effect sediment-laden water on density stratification, was validated by field hydrodynamic data. Numerical r...

Underactive bladder in children is characterized by low voiding frequency; straining, hypotonic high capacity bladder, and significant residual urine. The usual presentation is recurrent urinary tract infections. Accurate evidence-based diagnosis and treatment is crucial. Subjective and objective improvement and regain of normal voiding can be achieved in response to bladder rehabilitation prog...

Experiments were conducted to elucidate the transport behavior of cysts of Giardia and manure suspensions through several aquifer sands. Decreasing the median grain size of the sand resulted in lower peak effluent concentrations and increased deposition of the Giardia and manure particles in the sand near the column inlet. The effluent concentration curves for the manure suspensions also exhibi...

CONTEXT Anismus is a prevalent functional cause of outlet delay. It is characterized by symptoms of obstructed defecation associated with paradoxical contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability of two dimensional anal ultrasonography to identify anismus patients with paradoxical contraction or normal relaxation, comparing findings with manometric measurements. ...

AIM To investigate the assumption that schistosomiasis is the main cause of rectal prolapse in young Egyptian males. METHODS Twenty-one male patients between ages of 18 and 50 years with complete rectal prolapse were included in the study out of a total 29 patients with rectal prolapse admitted for surgery at Colorectal Surgery Unit, Ain Shams University hospitals between the period of Januar...
