Chylous ascites: analysis of 24 patients.

Objectives: Chylous ascites is the pathologic accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Patients who underwent surgery for gynecologic malignancy and had postoperative chylous ascites were evaluated retrospectively.

Methods: We reviewed 1514 patients who had staging surgery for gynecologic malignancy at our institution from January 2003 to February 2012.

Removal of boron from aqueous solutions by batch adsorption on calcined alunite using experimental design.

In the present paper, boron removal from aqueous solutions by batch adsorption was investigated and 2(3) full factorial design was applied. Calcined alunite was used as adsorbent. In the study, three parameters affected the performance and two levels of these parameters were investigated.

Adsorption of boron from aqueous solutions using fly ash: batch and column studies.

In the present paper, boron removal from aqueous solutions by adsorption was investigated. Fly ash particle size used in adsorption experiments was between 250 and 400 microm. During the experimental part of this study, the effect of parameters such as pH, agitation time, initial boron concentration, temperature, adsorbent dosage and foreign ion on boron removal were observed.
