PURPOSE This study evaluated long-term results of transanal irrigation for defecation disturbances. METHODS Three hundred and forty-eight patients [248 women and 100 men; median age 52 years (range, 5-85)] suffering from constipation and fecal incontinence were introduced to transanal irrigation. Patients using transanal irrigation at follow-up received a mailed questionnaire describing bowel...

In order to obtain the damage characteristics of a roadway wall caused by gas explosion, evaluation theory under dynamic and static loads explosion is analyzed in this paper. Meanwhile, an method (overpressure–impulse criterion) selected evaluate impact load explosion. A mathematical model physical analysis are established LS-DYNA software. The response numerically simulated. overpressure impul...

BACKGROUND Burr hole craniostomy is a widely used method for the evacuation of CSDH. However it is not clear whether the irrigation during operation improves the prognosis or gives rise to additional complications instead. This retrospective cohort study was conducted to determine this issue. METHODS Patients attending two medical centers in China who underwent burr hole drainage with irrigat...

BACKGROUND The efficacy of decongestants, antihistamines and nasal irrigation in children with clinically diagnosed acute sinusitis has not been systematically evaluated. OBJECTIVES To systematically review the efficacy of decongestants, antihistamines and nasal irrigation in children with clinically diagnosed acute sinusitis. We considered the following four interventions: 1) decongestants v...

An investigation was conducted to evaluate the water quality of some ground for irrigation, drinking and livestock consumption. Fifteen samples were collected from Babugonj upazila of Barisal district in Bangladesh. The chemical constituents of water samples were determined to find out their suitability for irrigation, drinking and Livestock consumption. As per pH all water samples were slightl...

Newman–Penrose (NP) constants of massless spin-0 fields propagating in Minkowski spacetime are computed close to spatial and null infinity by means Friedrich’s i0-cylinder. Assuming a certain regularity condition on the initial data ensuring that field extends analytically critical sets, it is shown NP at future I+ past I− independent each other. In other words, classical I± stem from different...

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...

Irrigation in the Mediterranean is of vital importance for food security, employment and economic development. This study systematically assesses how climate change and increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations may affect irrigation requirements in the Mediterranean region by 2080–2090. Future demographic change and technological improvements in irrigation systems are taken into account, as i...

Both rainfed and irrigated soybean production are important in Nebraska (western US Corn Belt), accounting for a respective 48 and 52% of the state’s soybean production of 7 Mt on a respective 55 and 45% share of the state soybean area of 1.9 Mha. To date, no assessment of factors that may account for regional and inter-annual variation in yield and irrigation amount has been performed. To acco...

Alveolar osteitis (dry socket) continues to be a frequent sequela of third molar surgery. Chlorhexidine 0.12% used as an oral rinse has been reported to reduce the incidence of dry socket. This study compares the effectiveness of 0.12% chlorhexidine used as a preoperative rinse and immediate postextraction irrigant with 1) similarly used 0.05% cetylpyridium, preoperative chlorhexidine rinse and...
