This study demonstrates the integration of rehabilitation and flood management planning in a steep, boulder-bedded stream in a coastal urban catchment on the South Island of New Zealand. The Water of Leith, the primary stream flowing through the city of Dunedin, is used as a case study. The catchment is steep, with a short time of concentration and rapid hydrologic response, and the lower strea...

INTRODUCTION Pulmonary rehabilitation is now an accepted modality of care in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. However, in resource-limited settings, conventional pulmonary rehabilitation may not be feasible due to the high cost involved and the extensive infrastructure requirement. In view of these constraints, we designed a domiciliary pulmonary rehabili...

Human functioning and rehabilitation research can be organized into 5 distinct scientific fields. The objective of this paper is to provide conceptual descriptions and to outline selected research domains for 4 of the 5 distinct scientific fields. A conceptual description of the biosciences in rehabilitation and the presentation of respective research domains are beyond the scope of this paper....

rehabilitation of facial defects is a complex task, requiring an individualized design of the technique for each patient. the disfigurement associated with the loss of an eye may result in significant physical and emotional problems. various treatment modalities are available, one of which is the use of implants. although implant-supported orbital prosthesis has a superior outcome, it may not b...

Assessment techniques and treatment strategies, such as medical management, oxygen management, chest physical therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation, for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are discussed. Clinically appropriate, evidence-based rehabilitation programs for home care may help to reduce care costs, reduce the impact of this chronic disease on patients with COP...

Abstract The results of an integrated study aimed at restoring water quality in a large watershed including seven catchments in north east Iran are presented in this paper. This case study demonstrates how landscape metrics reflect direct or surrogate causes of the land use practices that are the determinants of water quality parameters. Water quality factors included EC, pH, Cl-1, HCO3-1, SO4-...

Nearly two million people in the United States survive an acute myocardial infarc-tion or cardiac surgery each year. Standard textbooks of internal medicine and car-diology have generally contained little information on the special problems facing the family practitioner, internist, or cardiologist, in managing the recovery stage of a patient after myocardial infarction or coronary surgery. Dr....
