Abstract:
In the United Kingdom, national guidelines have stated that patients undergoing elective hip surgery are at increased risk for venous thromboembolic events (VTE) following surgery and have recommended thromboprophylaxis for 28–35 days (1, 2). Studies of direct thrombin inhibitors have hitherto concentrated on major bleeding. We prospectively assessed wound discharge in patients who underwent hip arthroplasty and who received oral dabigatran postoperatively between March 2010 and April 2010 (n=56). We compared these results to a retrospective matched group of patients who underwent similar oper

In surgical practice a great number of methods are used to assess the course of the wound process; however, the search for more informative tests to reveal the nature of the wound process and reparative regeneration is still relevant. One of the directions of this search is the quantitative determination of the specific components participating in the reparative tissue regeneration in the wound discharge. Such methods include the detection of protein, collagen and its derivatives, glycosaminoglycans etc. in the wound discharge.

Abstract:
AbstractPathological scarring in burn wounds can result in hypertrophic scars and/or contractures. Prevalences of hypertrophic scarring after burn injuries between 8% and 67% are reported. A recent prospective study revealed a prevalence of 8%. Data on prevalence of burn scar contractures are limited; reported prevalence at discharge varied between 38 and 54% and decreased with an increasing time post burn. About 5–20% of the people who suffered from burn injuries received reconstructive surgery after burns, up to 10 years post injury.Factors predicting pathological scar formation after burn injuries include patient, injury and treatment characteristics. Injury- and treatment-related characteristics are the main predictors of scar outcomes after burn injury. These characteristics are related to burn size (total body surface area burned) and burn depth (number or type of surgery) or the overall healing process in general (length of stay, wound healing complications). Intrinsic patient-related risk factors seem to play a role as well but are less consistent predictors of scar outcome. This includes the risk factors like the female gender and also a younger age and darker skin.Knowledge on risk factors for poor scar outcome can be used to tailor treatment, aftercare and scar prevention to these patients with a high-risk profile.

AbstractIn this chapter, we examine the final stage in the life cycle of pellagrous patients—discharge or death. The nineteenth-century emphasis on the physicality of insanity lent itself to the treatment of pellagrous insanity, which responded well to the better diet and living conditions the asylums offered. Approximately two-thirds of pellagrous insane patients were discharged, either ‘cured’ or ‘improved’ (at least according to their patient files). We look at what happened to them when they were returned to their communities of origin, which includes repeat admittances. The remaining third of patients, alas, died in the asylum; most from the effects of the chronic diarrhoea that would have plagued them from the start. And we conclude this chapter, and the book, with comparison to other anthropogenic or societal diseases, such as obesity, and with recent claims regarding the close links between nutrition and mental health. Whilst these claims remain controversial, it is helpful to be reminded that a well-documented link between one particular diet and mental illness already exists, in the form of pellagra.

Abstract:
AbstractThe temperature, precipitation, and snow-cover data collected at the meteorological stations in the Slovenia’s Dinaric Karst region between 1961 and 2020 indicate rapid and clear climate change. During this period, temperatures increased by 2.5 °C on average, precipitation decreased by 50–400 mm on average, and the number of days with snow cover declined by 30–60%. Several studies have confirmed that these changes have a strong impact on water conditions. What is alarming is especially a decrease in the average minimum and mean discharges, and a downward trend can also be observed for many average maximum discharges.Over the past sixty years, the climate in Slovenia’s Dinaric Karst region has become warmer and drier, and there has been a significant reduction in the volume of water at most gauging stations in the area studied. Based on the trends described, a significantly smaller flood hazard would be expected, but data from the past decades suggest the opposite. The following are highlighted as possible reasons for the current flood hazard: upward trends in absolute maximum discharges in individual river basins, a slightly downward trend in absolute maximum discharges and their simultaneously greater variability, various forms of land development that used to be avoided due to the risk of flooding, and more frequent short-term extreme precipitation events causing flash floods on smaller streams.

Abstract:
AbstractForests have a flood-reduction function that reduces flood peak flow and delays the flood peak time. In the mountains of Japan, artificial forests planted between the 1950s and 1970s are widespread; however, many of these forests are not well managed. The effective use of the flood-reduction function of forests as a remarkable approach for river basin management has been discussed for several years. In this study, two aspects of the water cycle in forests were explored: the interception evaporation process in the forest canopy and the groundwater storage process on the forest slope. A runoff model was applied to the hydrological data obtained in several forest basins with different characteristics to evaluate the effects of the processes. In the case of the Japanese cedar plantations studied, it was suggested that the improvement of interception evaporation capacity and surface storage capacity by conversion to mixed forests and selective logging would significantly reduce the peak flood discharge on a timescale of approximately 20–30 years.

Abstract This chapter focuses on the significance of wound healing in an effort to prevent dying from hemorrhage and infection. Wound repair is the process where the tissue attempts to restore its barriers to fluid loss and infection while also increasing blood flow and structural integrity of the wounded region. Tremendous advances have been recorded in the science of wound care and restoration since the discovery of epidermal growth factors. Thus, the implanter of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) should have a basic understanding of wound healing and infection risks to optimize outcomes and recognize failing wound healing when it happens.

Thirty-three experts from a variety of professions and disciplines discussed problems and possible solutions in four workshops. The following topics emerged from the discussion: existing networks involving payers, responsibilities as well as good discharge management. These topics clearly address management continuity and are also relevant for the scenario of inter-professional wound care across different settings.

Abstract:
Electrospinning (ESPNG) was used to synthesize ultrathin (UT) and uniform nanofibers (from 5 nm to a few hundred nanometers) of various materials which have biomedical applications (BAs) such as dressing of wounds, drug discharge, and so on and so forth. In the first half of the report, there is an audit on the nanofibers having low diameter so that it could have larger surface area to volume proportion, likewise with that it would have sufficient porosity and improved mechanical properties required for wound healing. Nanofibrous mats (NMs) with high biocompatibility could be utilized during healing of wounds by sustained release of curcumin (Cc) and oxygen. The ESPNG was understood through in-depth numerical investigation in the present report. Furthermore, the process parameters (PMs) were reviewed in depth for their contributions in synthesizing UT - Curcumin/Gelatin (Cc/G) nanofibers (NFs) of optimum diameter. The aim of the discussion was to demonstrate that simply optimizing biofunctional (BF) - Cc/G NFs might not be enough to satisfy experts until they are also given access details about the complete ESPNG method (mathematical mechanism) to improve hold over the synthesis of NMs (suitable for BAs) for the release profile of Cc throughout critical periods of healing process.

Abstract:
Abstract Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONY) is common. It may affect up to 35% of patients after day case surgery. Although rarely life­ threatening, it is distressing and debilitating, and can lead to delays in returning to normal oral intake, delayed discharge from hospital, increased bleeding, wound dehiscence, and aspiration pneumonia. Although PONY is usually short-lived, many patients find it the most distressing part of their hospital stay. Nausea and vomiting is mediated through central and peripheral pathways, with a number of neurotransmitters involved. Central structures include the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the area postrema, which lies outside the blood-brain barrier. The nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS) and the vagal nuclei receive afferent impulses from the vagus nerve and interconnect with the CTZ.

Abstract:
Myiasis is a common zoodermatose in individuals living in rural areas, tropical and subtropical regions, mainly in underdeveloped or developing countries. This paper aims to report a case of myiasis involving the oral cavity, in a patient with neurological deficit, presenting bilateral anterior dislocation of the mandible, as well as to demonstrate the clinical and surgical management and characteristics pertinent to this treatment. A 34-year-old male patient, melanodermic, with neuropsychiatric impairment, attended the Hospital Geral do Estado, in Salvador (Bahia), brought by his companion with a bilateral mandibular dislocation. The intraoral examination revealed partial edentulism in both arches, poor oral hygiene and massive presence of larvae in the maxilla and mandible. After clinical evaluation and complementary imaging tests, with the patient under general anesthesia and nasotracheal intubation, a compress soaked in sulfuric ether was applied to the affected sites, the larvae were mechanically removed, the wound was debrided and inspected, and the edges were reapproximated. The mandibular dislocation was reduced and immobilized with a Barton-type bandage. The patient was given Ivermectin 12mg and antibiotic therapy with Cephalothin 01g, and a new dose of Ivermectin 06mg was used two days after the procedure. After 04 days of hospitalization, the patient presented a good aspect of the wound, laboratory tests without significant changes and clinical and physiological conditions for hospital discharge. Thus, although there is no protocol treatment, the mechanical removal and debridement with the administration of anthelmintics proved effective for the treatment of this condition.

Abstract The objective of this research is to evaluate the fate of cyanide from generation during catalytic cracking to wastewater discharge at a petroleum refinery. The mechanism of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) generation during catalytic cracking is hypothesized. The extent and mechanism of cyanide-induced corrosion is evaluated from a mass balance of free cyanide, complexed cyanide, iron, and thiocyanate in hydrocarbon, sour water, and wastewater streams. Analytical methodologies are developed to identify and correct cyanide interferences in sour water for this mass balance. The results of the ma

Economically, this stressed system inhibitor allows cooling tower operation at higher concentration ratios resulting in decreased water usage and discharge. The inhibitor also allows the reuse of water that would otherwise be discharged, possibly after costly treatment. It permits the use of less than desirable water in other applications.

Abstract As magnetic tape or other web-like material is wound onto a roll, air moving with the incoming stream and the roll becomes forced into the converging wedge at the stream’s point of tangency. The spiral-shaped air bearing so formed can extend many wraps into the roll’s interior. When the roll is subsequently brought to rest, the entrained air discharges from it, and the roll’s radius gradually decreases until all adjacent tape layers have come into direct contact. In the present paper, a model is developed for this transient discharge process, and for the rate at which the roll stabili
