Tophaceous gout complicated by septic arthritis presents a management dilemma which can often require multiple surgical debridements. There is little published in the literature regarding treatment of these concomitant conditions. We postulate that biofilm may play a role increasing the difficulty of sterilising a tophaceous joint. The use of topical negative pressure therapy that targets biofi...

Rice is one of the agricultural species that consumes a lot water. In countries with cold climates such as Chile, 200 mm high sheet water used to cope night temperatures below 10 °C. This practice 18,000 m3 ha-1 per season. Climate change currently major problem, where reduction in precipitation can exceed 40%. Under this context, current rice production system unsustainable. The object...

Purpose. The aim of this study is to propose a simple and efficient combination surgery for the management of dacryocystitis with canalicular obstruction. Methods. A retrospective noncomparative case series of dacryocystitis with canalicular obstruction has been studied. Twelve patients with dacryocystitis and canalicular obstruction underwent a conventional endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhin...

ABSTRACT Determining the amount of nutrients accumulated by crops is an important tool for defining order in which are taken up and required. However, vary depending on genetic characteristics cultivars, climatic conditions, fertilization, soil management systems. The aim this study was to evaluate influence irrigation strategies doses nitrogen (N) fertigation content accumulation macro micronu...

A more efficient water use system is needed for agriculture. This is more evidence for rice production with a higher water use for economical production. A large cultivar×water regime interaction exists for grain yield in rice. Therefore, information is required to adopt new rice cultivars with high yield potential under water-saving conditions. The objectives of this study were to analyze the ...

Background and aimsBiological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in paddy systems is impacted by application levels irrigation strategies, but the extent to which these factors influence BNF its distribution soil rice largely unclear. This study investigates this influence.MethodsAn airtight, transparent growth chamber based 15N-labelling system was used investigate how different (0, 125, 187.5 250 kg N h...

is considered endemic in hospitals and long-term care facilities, an ongoing debate exists about whether all identified cases of MRSA, particularly in asymptomatic individuals, should be treated. There is little disagreement, however, regarding the use of MRSA to treat symptomatic infections. Intermittent as well as continuous bladder irrigation utilizing various pharmacological agents has been...

In order to calibrate and validate the PILOTE model for rice in a humid climate, this study was carried in a randomized complete block design with three replications on a popular local variety, Hashemi, during 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007 crop seasons. This research was done at the Rice Research Institute of Rasht, Iran. Evaluation of simulated and measured grain yield and dry matter values ...
