There is massive enteric bacterial colonization in the periurethral region during infancy. Fecal soiling is considered to be responsible for this colonization. We hypothesized that baby wet wipes containing chemical cleansing compounds, which are used for the cleaning of babies after diaper soiling, could be a contributing factor in this colonization. Thus, the effect on periurethral flora of t...

Soiling significantly impacts PV systems’ performance, but this can be mitigated through optimized frequency and timing of cleaning. This experimental study focused on the conditions leading to soiling. It utilized a novel method evaluate effectiveness different cleaning frequencies. The transmittance horizontally mounted glass coupons exposed outdoors in warm humid location was measured weekly...

To examine the effectiveness of a short-term behavioral treatment of encopresis, 52 encopretic children were evaluated and treated according to a standardized protocol. The treatment was highly effective, with a significant decrease in soiling during the first month (P < 0.01). Of the children who began treatment, 84.6% successfully reached the criterion of 2 consecutive weeks with no soiling a...

Encopresis or soiling may occur in children with normal intelligence, brain damaged children and psychotic children. It denotes an uncontrolled defecation of an emotional origin. Presently, there are few reports of successful treatment by means of...

A solar reflector soiling study was carried out at a ferromanganese smelter in South Africa to assess the rates different locations around plant. Several meteorological parameters were monitored give insight into conditions that lead increased soiling. Mineralogical characterization of dust samples collected from reflectors and atmosphere revealed only certain size fraction is importance with r...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of isolated urinary and fecal incontinence and double incontinence in community-living stroke survivors and to assess the degree of soiling. DESIGN Community-based postal survey. SETTING Leicestershire, United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS Sixty-four thousand seven hundred forty-nine community-dwelling residents (aged > or = 40) were randomly selected from...

Although challenging at times, managing cats with elimination issues can be rewarding. The frustration in management of these cases is often a result of the lack of a proper diagnosis and random treatment application. A systematic approach to these cases should help to achieve treatment success. Also, new information should lead to further advancements in treatment.
