This article describes a pilot study to evaluate washable (or reusable) absorbent garments for adults with moderate to heavy urinary incontinence. The article will describe: The study process; How the individual products performed and how the washable and disposable products compared; How nurses can enable their patients to use washable products appropriately.

Previous studies have demonstrated that rapid evacuation, disrobing and emergency decontamination can enhance the ability of emergency services and acute hospitals to effectively manage chemically-contaminated casualties. The purpose of this human volunteer study was to further optimise such an "Initial Operational Response" by (1) identifying an appropriate method for performing improvised ski...

BACKGROUND The primary objective of our study is to compare HgA1C to self monitoring frequency in diabetes subjects. A secondary objective is to evaluate the influence of family support and gender on glucose monitoring frequency and HgA1C. MATERIAL/METHODS We studied the glucose monitoring frequency and HgA1c outcome of 67 subjects treated with diet alone, 350 subjects treated with tablets, 1...

In this paper, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 core/shell magnetic nanostructure has been synthesized and modified by N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPTMS). Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 was used as a novel adsorbent for separation of hexachloroplatinic acid.X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and FT-IR technique were used to characterize morphologies and surface te...

BACKGROUND Large quantities of water condensation occur in the anaesthesia circuit during low-flow anaesthesia. We hypothesized that cooling of the CO2 absorbent would prevent water condensation. METHODS To cool CO2 absorbent efficiently, we constructed a novel temperature gradient reduction (TGR) canister, which was cooled by a blower. Experiments were divided into three groups: the conventi...

decreasing water loss and increasing the irrigation times are basic methods to develop agriculture, success in natural recourse projects, minimize the stress to planted bushes in natural fields and increase the productivity of soil and water sources. the use of super absorbent is one of these strategies to achieve these goals. the main purpose of this research was to study the effect of super a...

Twenty-two Bos indicus type steers were commercially slaughtered, and their carcasses were chilled and processed to determine the effects of injecting calcium chloride (CaCl2) on beef steak palatability and quality traits. Top loin and inside round subprimals were removed from each carcass using industry fabrication procedures. No injection (control) or injection of 200 mM CaCl2 at 5% (wt/wt) w...
