This report summarizes the results of 64 percutaneous catheter drainage of abdominal abscesses and fluid collections in 56 patients. Aspiration and drainage was guided with computed tomography in 34 patients and with ultrasound in 30 patients. Success rate was 90%. Infected collections were successfully drained in 94% and noninfected collections in 72% . Partial success was achieved in two...

The current assessment is an undertaking to evaluateand compare variousmorphometric parameters of the Baur catchment. Morphometric analysis river basin provides a quantitative description drainage system, which important aspect categorization (Strahler, 1964).The catchment located in outer part Lesser Himalaya Kumaun region, major Western Himalaya.The geographical area Catchment 106.233Km2.Morp...

Mineral processing is intensive in water usage. Unfortunately, a large portion of this valuable asset contaminated by toxic species that leach from tailings or mineral ore, leading to the formation acid drainage. Water drainages can still be recovered passive environmentally friendly treatments. An underestimated treatment settling harmful metals, such as iron and aluminum. In sense, floc drain...

Evapotranspiration (store and release) soil covers have been proposed as a means to limit acid mine drainage. Soil water balance models, like UNSATH are commonly used to assess the effectiveness of store and release covers. Plant-related attributes are required as inputs to these models. In particular, UNSAT-H requires leaf area index (LAI) and root length density (RLD) inputs. Published LAI an...

Second, we believe that to compare the two surgical techniques, there must be a certain consistency in the two study groups. The authors only indicate the age and sex distribution of both groups, however it is very important to know several things that make the series are not significantly homogeneous and therefore the results may be biased. It is important to know that the degree of clinical s...
