Results Subxiphoid pericardial drainage was performed under local anesthesia. Pericardial fluid of 1000 ml was drained. A pericardial drainage tube was inserted at surgery and removed after 5 days. A 2 x 3 cm2 biopsy specimen was taken under direct vision from the lower aspect of anterior pericardium. Sample of the drained fluid was collected for microbiological culture and cytological analysis...

110 physical signs or symptoms which could trace the ascites to any derangement of these organs. Owing to dyspnoea it was considered expedient to tap the abdomen and draw away the ascitic fluid, which was accordingly done with a trocar and canula in the liuea alba after first emptying the bladder by passing a female catheter. The usual precautious were taken, and the fluid drained away graduall...

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is a rare congenital left-to-right shunt where pulmonary veins drain into systemic circulation. This is a presentation of the case of a patient with concurrent PAPVR and adenocarcinoma of the same lobe. The pulmonary veins of right upper lobe drained into superior vena cava (SVC), whereas the middle and lower lobes veins drained into the left at...

Thoracolumbar spinal angiomas are typically fed by intercostal or lumbar arteries [1] and are drained exclusively by perimedullary veins [2]. Rarely, internal iliac artery branches may supply a spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Epidural venous drainage has not been reported [2-4]. Only eight cases of spinal A VMs fed by internal iliac branches have been described in the literature [2, 5-...

Across the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, spongy soil is sinking at a rapid rate! This issue, known as subsidence, happens in places with peat soils that have been drained. Peat are created over thousands of years by decaying wetland plants. Following European colonization California, Delta’s wetlands and their were drained, levees built to keep land dry. Farms now thrive on this fertile landsca...

This paper describes a finite element study of the uplift behaviour plane strain pipe segment embedded in modified Cam clay soil. The primary aim this is to explore role rate effects on capacity and transition between drained undrained using coupled-consolidation analyses. velocities considered modelling cover six orders magnitude allowing rigorous assessment effect loading rate. embedment dept...
