Cancer can be a devastating illness causing severe debilitation and prolonged confinement to bed. It is, therefore, not unexpected that oncologists would be required to manage pressure ulcers as part of the comprehensive care of their cancer patients. The consequences of these lesions can be devastating, even fatal. Thus, the common bedsore should not be overlooked as an important clinical prob...

Pressure ulcers are a common problem, with about 1.5 to 3 million individuals in the United Stated affected. Treatment may be costly, requiring lengthy periods of hospitalization. Central to the development of pressure ulcers is the loss of the ability of bedridden patients to move spontaneously. When this ability is impaired by neurologic injury or debility, damage caused by unrelieved pressur...

water is the most essential component for sustaining lives of humans and other living creatures. supplying potable water with adequate residual pressure is a fundamental responsibility of city administration, which they do during normal conditions. but sometimes, abnormal conditions are formed resulting pressure deficient conditions during the daily operations of water distribution networks. th...

variable rate application (vra) based on site specific crop management (sscm) is an effective approach for optimizing the application of agricultural inputs and preventing the undesirable environmental impacts. design, construction and evaluation of a map-based vra system was the main objective followed in this research. for variable rate application based on the generated map, a direct injecti...

abstract background: the pressure of consumption spots in eater supply systems is one of the most important hydraulic parameters can be used in optimized management of water distribution networks. since the pressure has some different effects on various parameters of the network management including its hydraulic functions, reliability, stability and leakage, its control is of great importance ...
