Drainage großer Brustdrüsenabszesse unter ästhetischen und funktionellen Aspekten

1991

In 11 puerperal women, a breast abscess was treated by drainage from the inframammary fold. Eight patients wished to continue breast feeding. During the healing period, the babies were not breast fed on the operated side. In 3 patients, the skin over the abscess necrotised, resulting in a defect of 1 to 2 cm. In 2 patients, a small seroma had to be punctured after removing the drainage tube. Aesthetic results were judged by the patients as good. Resumation of suckling on the operated side revealed only 15 to 20% milk yield compared to that of the other breast. This treatment meets aesthetic and function-preserving criteria.

Mechanisms of population declines in boreal forest grouse

2007

Gilbert Ludwig tutki väitöskirjassaan, miksi kanalinnut ovat vähentyneet talousmetsissä. Suomen metsäkanalintukannat ovat vähentyneet merkittävästi viimeisen 40 vuoden ajan. Pesiin ja poikasiin kohdistuvaa saalistusta on pidetty tärkeimpänä syynä kanalintukantojen laskuun. Hakkuiden ja nuorten metsien osuuden lisääntymisen on katsottu lisänneen myyräkantoja ja niitä syöviä petoja, kuten kettuja, lisäten näin myös kanalintujen pesiin ja poikasiin kohdistuvaa saalistusta. Vuosikymmenten aikana laskenut poikastuotto on keskeisessä roolissa kanalintukantojen laskussa. - Ainakaan teerellä vuotuinen aikuiskuolleisuus ei ole lainkaan lisääntynyt. Hengissäsäilyminen on päinvastoin jopa parantunut, …

Integrated Urban Water Modeling with Uncertainty Analysis

2005

In the last 20th years, the scientific world has got particular care towards the problems that involve the respect of the environment. According to this point, several researches were developed to describe the phenomena that take place during both wet and dry period and to increase the knowledge in this field. In particular, the attention was addressed towards the problems linked with the pollution of the water body because of the pollution carried by rainfall waters in the urban environment. In order to obtain a good description of the problem, it is important, of course, to analyze both quantity and quality aspects connected with all the transformation phases that characterize the urban w…

Factor selection procedures in a Google Earthtm aided landslide susceptibility model: application to the Beiro river basin (Spain)

2011

A procedure to select the controlling factors connected to the slope instability has been defined. It allowed to assess the landslide susceptibility in the Rio Beiro basin (about 10 km2) over the north-eastern area of the city of Granada (Spain). Field and remote (Google EarthTM) recognition techniques allowed to generate a landslide inventory consisting in 127 phenomena. Univariate tests, using both association coefficients and validation results of single parameter susceptibility models, allowed to select among 15 controlling factors the ones that resulted as good predictor variables; these have been combined for unique conditions analysis and susceptibility maps were finally prepared. In…

MIGRATION OF THE HIGHLY EDUCATED: EVIDENCE FROM RESIDENCE SPELLS OF UNIVERSITY GRADUATES*

2011

We examine the inter-regional migration of university graduates from 1991 to 2003 in Finland. The results show that time matters: two-years before and during the graduation year the hazard rates of migration increase, and then decrease thereafter. Although university graduates are particularly mobile, we find that most of them do not move from their region of studies within 10 years after graduation. The out-migration, i.e., brain drain, is much higher among graduates in the more peripheral universities than in the growth centers (Helsinki in particular). Migration is also substantially more likely for those studying away from the home region than for those studying at home. peerReviewed

Drainage inlets efficiency and its impact on pluvial flooding hazard evaluation uncertainty

2014

Flooding events in urban areas occur quite frequently as a consequence of rain events of lower intensity than the design one, even in case of correct network dimensioning. Inlets are in those cases the critical nodes, and efficient drainage is only ensured when care is taken on their appropriate design and positioning within the pluvial flood-prone areas. Classical approach for design and position of these hydraulic structures can result in high level of uncertainty in defining properly risk levels in urban areas. Further, evaluation of flood hazard in urban areas is made even more difficult if one considers that pluvial flooding can be caused by storm events characterised by a low return t…

Super-Drained Distally Based Neurofasciocutaneous Sural Flap: A Case Series and Review of Literature

2015

Objective: The distally based neurofasciocutaneous sural flap is central to the armamentarium for the reconstruction of leg's distal third, ankle, and hindfoot. Despite the use of adapted techniques aimed at increasing the flap's reliability, venous congestion remains a frequently encountered problem. We present a venous super-drainage technique used by the senior author to reduce venous congestion and improve flap reliability when harvesting larger flaps. Methods: A retrospective chart review, from January 2002 to October 2008, at 2 tertiary care centers, was conducted on all cases of inferior limb reconstruction with reverse sural flaps on defects greater than 10 × 5 cm. In addition, a li…

Environmental hazard and water quality: the River Platani basin

2007

The River Platani, situated in the western side of Sicily, is one of the greatest rivers of the island. It runs for about 103 Km and the basin extends to about 1,784.9 Km. It rises near Santo Stefano Quisquina (Ag); the river flows to Capo Bianco (Ag) ends in the Mediterranean Sea. The morphology of the basin is predominantly characterized by rises of modest entities with slopes sweet or calanques. In the containing gypsum and carbonatic stony heaps are diffused the karst phenomena. In the Platani basin some mines are located of rock salt and potassium salts; today the mines are closed after a long activity and they interact with the geomorphology of the territory and on the water quality o…
