Changes in NO Availability and Transpiration Rate Are Associated With a Rapid Diurnal Adjustment of Anion Contents as Well as N and Water Fluxes Between the Roots and Shoots.

Understanding interactions between water and nitrate fluxes in response to nitrate availability and transpiration rate is crucial to select more efficient plants for the use of water and nitrate. Some of these interactions were investigated in intact plants by combining a non-destructive gravimetric device with NO labeling. The set-up allowed high-resolution measurement of the effects of a cross-combination of two concentrations of KNO or KCl (0.

Oesophageal stent placement to treat a massive iatrogenic duodenal defect after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Iatrogenic duodenal injury occurring during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is managed surgically, though rarely a large, persistent fistula is refractory to surgical interventions. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman transferred to our centre following elective LC for a reported perforated duodenal ulcer. An uncontained leak was found to originate from a 1.

Interhospital transfer of liver trauma in New Mexico: a state of austere resources.

Background: There is debate in the trauma literature regarding the effect of prolonged prehospital transport on morbidity and mortality. This study analyzes the management of hepatic trauma patients requiring surgery and compares the outcomes of the group that was transferred to the University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH) from outside institutions, to the directly admitted group.

Materials And Methods: The UNMH Trauma Database was queried from 2005-2012.

The sentinel placement of an open abdomen negative pressure unit.

The open abdomen is a common condition after a trauma necessitating celiotomy with the inability to close the fascia either due to damage control surgery or abdominal compartment syndrome. Traditionally the open abdomen has been approached with the use of the open abdomen temporary abdominal closure (Barker Vacuum Pack Dressing). More recently there has been the addition of the ABThera™ open abdomen negative pressure unit introduced by KCI.
