Unlabelled: BACKGOUND/AIMS: The aim of this study is to present the new method of continuously irrigated around the pancreaticojejunostomy to reduce postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methodology: Twenty-seven patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in our institution between 2002 and 2007. Pancreaticojejunostomy was performed with the external pancreatic duct stent tube, and continuous irrigation around the pancreaticojejunostomy was started on the operative day with physiological saline solution containing gabexate mesilate.
Results: Mean duration of irrigation was 7.1 +/- 4.4 days, mean duration of drainage tube placement was 14.2 +/- 9 days, and mean duration of pancreatic duct drainage tube placement was 24.9 +/- 4.7 days. Pancreatic fistula was diagnosed in 8 patients. Three cases were classified as grade A and 5 cases were grade B. These pancreatic fistulae were closed by non-invasive treatment and the in-hospital death rate was 0%.
Conclusions: External total drainage of the main pancreatic duct and continuous irrigation around pancreaticojejunostomy appears to avoid severe postoperative complications.

Agriculture 4.0 technologies continue to see low adoption among small and medium-sized farmers, primarily because these solutions often fail to account for the specific challenges of rural areas. In this work, we propose and implement a design methodology to develop a Precision Agriculture solution aimed at assisting farmers in managing water stress in Hass avocado crops.

Introduction And Importance: Follicular cystitis (FC) is a rare inflammatory disorder of the bladder that predominantly affects women. The exact cause of FC remains largely unknown, although it has been associated with inflammatory processes and bacterial infections, particularly following urinary tract infections. Regarding orphan diseases, like follicular cystitis, where large-scale trials seem virtually impossible, case reports find their place and guide the scientific community to find the best course of action.

Background: Tropheryma whipplei pneumonia is an infrequent medical condition. The clinical symptoms associated with this disease are nonspecific, often resulting in misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Therefore, sharing and summarizing the experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease can deepen global understanding and awareness of it.

Background: Corticosteroids are used in managing Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) through several formulations, including oral steroids and nasal sprays. More recently, incorporating concentrated budesonide respules into high-volume saline irrigations has been proposed to enhance the penetration of topical steroids into the paranasal sinuses. We aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of budesonide nasal irrigation (BNI) in managing CRS.

The real-time monitoring of plant water status is an important issue for digital irrigation to increase water productivity. This work focused on a comparison of three biosensors that continuously evaluate plant water status: trunk microtensiometers (MTs), trunk time-domain reflectometry (TDR), and LVDT sensors. During the summer and autumn seasons (DOY 150-300), nectarine trees were subjected to four different consecutive irrigation periods based on the soil Management Allowed Deficit (MAD) concept, namely: MAD (light deficit); MAD (moderate deficit); MAD (severe deficit), and MAD (full irrigation).
