OBJECT This study was conducted to determine the best position for the subdural drainage catheter to achieve a low recurrence rate after burr-hole irrigation and closed-system drainage of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). METHODS The authors studied 63 patients with CSDH in whom the drainage catheter tip was randomly placed and precisely determined on postoperative computerized tomography (CT...

Modern HPC systems, such as Blue Waters, has a multidimensional torus topology, which makes it hard to achieve both high system utilization and scheduling speed. The low scheduling speed comes from the inefficient resource allocation scheme by using a pre-defined Shape Table, which is highly time consuming. The low system utilization is majorly caused by system fragmentation and node drainage. ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate pleural drainage using a one-way flutter valve following elective lung resection. METHODS This was a prospective study, with descriptive analysis, of 39 lung resections performed using a one-way flutter valve to achieve pleural drainage during the postoperative period. Patients less than 12 years of age were excluded, as were those submitted to pneumonectomy or emergency...

INTRODUCTION Deep neck space abscesses (DNAs) are relatively common otolaryngology-head and neck surgery emergencies and can result in significant morbidity with potential mortality. Traditionally, surgical incision and drainage (I&D) with antibiotics has been the mainstay of treatment. Some reports have suggested that ultrasound-guided drainage (USD) is a less invasive and effective alternativ...

The systems of internal drainage glaciers have been studied mainly by indirect methods. In order to reveal the structure network inside Aldegondabreen, moulins and glacial caves were investigated speleological methods in 2001–2021, which was accompanied a semi-instrumental topographic survey cavities. This allowed us see change cavities over time. There are three types Aldegondadreen: active, d...
