abstract low water holding capacity of soilless substrates increases water stress and waste of nutrient solution. irrigation time management can reduce such problems. in this research, responses of hydroponically cultured greenhouse strawberries were evaluated under different irrigation schedules. in first step, plant daily water need was estimated and then delivered to plants through two metho...

BACKGROUND Wound cleansing should create an optimal healing environment by removing excess debris, exudates, foreign and necrotic material which are commonly present in the wounds that heal by secondary intention. At present, there is no research evidence for whether pressurised irrigation has better wound healing outcomes compared with conventional swabbing practice in cleansing wound. OBJEC...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess the treatment efficacy of transanal irrigation and parental satisfaction in children with intractable functional constipation (FC) treated with Peristeen. METHODS Cross-sectional survey study among parents of children (age 0-18 years) treated with Peristeen for FC (based on the Rome III criteria). Anonymous questionnaires were sent out to parents ...

PURPOSE Preparation of a one-piece dental implant abutment is often needed to achieve a proper emergence profile for a definitive restoration. However, this procedure may compromise osseointegration through the production of heat. The aim of this study was to measure heat production during implant abutment preparation with different volumes of water irrigation using a one-piece implant system. ...

The organophosphate (OP) insecticides diazinon and chlorpyrifos have been frequently detected in the San Joaquin River, California, USA. Irrigation tail waters are a significant source of OP pesticides in the watershed. This study tested several management practices for reducing offsite movement of chlorpyrifos to surface water from flood irrigated alfalfa. Management practices evaluated includ...

In the area where the high quality water is not available, unconventional water sources are used to irrigate. Household leachate is one of the sources which are used in dry and semi dry areas in order to water the barer trees and plants. It meets the plants needs and also has some effects on the soil, but at the same time it might cause some problems as well. This study in order to evaluate the...

In this paper, an efficient irrigation system is proposed based on computing evapotranspiration (ET) and the required irrigation quantity using fuzzy inference methodology. The aim of this system is to schedule irrigation according to the particular requirements of a crop and to the change in various climatological parameters and other factors. This is to avoid overor under-watering which signi...

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the efficacy of intraabdominal irrigation with warm saline on pain management and gastrointestinal functions in the postoperative period among patients that underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Material and methods: Ninety-one women who underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were enrolled in our study. Patients were allocated to eit...

UNLABELLED Continence disturbances, especially fecal soiling, are difficult to treat. Irrigation of the distal part of the large bowel might be considered as a nonsurgical alternative for patients with impaired continence. PURPOSE This study is aimed at evaluating the clinical value of colonic irrigation. METHODS Thirty-two patients (16 females; median age, 47 (range, 23-72) years) were off...
