BACKGROUND Closed suction drainage systems are frequently used to drain fluids, particularly blood, from surgical wounds. The aim of these systems is to reduce the occurrence of wound haematomas and infection. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of closed suction drainage systems for orthopaedic surgery. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group Speci...

The definition of a karst drainage basin in the aquifer area is an absolute thing to do as water resource management unit. This research aimed characterize hydrogeology Gunungsewu Karst Area upper reach Gremeng Drainage Basin. For this purpose, it was divided into three stages, namely geological survey, speleological and artificial tracer test. results indicate that observed lies two or more fo...

Abstract Background Primary iliopsoas abscess is extremely rare in neonates and overlooked easily. It potentially curable with surgical drainage broad-spectrum antibiotics if diagnosed early. Case presentation A 13-day-old neonate was presented a swelling bluish discoloration on the left thigh groin.

Eleven patients with large cerebellar infarctions were admitted recently to our service. Eight of them showed evidence of hydrocephalus on the CT scan examination. Five were treated with controlled external ventricular drainage and six were managed conservatively. One death, most likely due to progressive brainstem infarction, occurred. The outcome was favorable in the other patients. It is sug...

Chronic lower limb oedema is common in patients with advanced cancer and can be difficult to manage. In this paper, we present two patients who had severe cancer-related chronic lower limb oedema which was refractory to conventional therapy. It was satisfactorily managed using closed controlled subcutaneous drainage without any skin infections or complications. We also review the prevalence, di...

We present experimental results on the Stokes experiment performed in a 3D dry liquid foam. The system is used as a rheometric tool: from the force exerted on a 1 cm glass bead, plunged at controlled velocity in the foam in a quasi-static regime, local foam properties are probed around the sphere. With this original and simple technique, we show the possibility of measuring the foam shear modul...

The potential impact of controlled drainage (CD), which limits outflow, and subirrigation (SI), provides supplemental water through drain tile, on surface quality are not well known in the Red River Valley (RRV). In this study, samples were collected analyzed for chemical concentrations from a tile-drained field that also has modes RRV southeastern North Dakota 2012–2018. A decreasing trend ove...

Seroma formation is the most prevalent postoperative complication following breast cancer surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to identify evidence based risk factors for seroma formation. Articles published in English in the last decade were obtained from searches of Medline and additional references were found in the bibliographies of these articles. Risk factors were graded accordi...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of topical antiglaucoma medications on the lacrimal drainage system. METHODS In a prospective controlled blind observational case series, 627 eyes of 384 patients (219 males, 165 females) were screened. Data recording (demographics and history taking), allocation in case (on topical antiglaucoma medications) and control (no glaucoma) groups, and examinations (ey...
