Agricultural drainage carrying significant amounts of nitrogen (N) from agricultural applications poses a significant threat to plant growth, composition, and structure in wetland ecosystems. However, how interspecific c...

Abstract Background Traditional nasal packing following septoplasty imposes significant patient morbidity, including pain, obligate oral breathing, and sleep disruption. Negative pressure drainage (NPD) represents a mech...

Abstract Background and aims Pancreatic duct leaks and fistulas are challenging complications of pancreatitis and pancreatic surgery. Although endoscopic retrograde pancreatic duct drainage (ERPD) is widely used, optimal...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims T‐tube drainage has traditionally been used after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) to reduce the risk of bile leakage; however, it is associated with prolonged hospital sta...

Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable transformation from a heavily industrialized rail depot and one of the nation’s most polluted cities to the first designated National Park City in the United States of America...

Abstract Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide is projected to exceed 800 ppm by 2100, yet its impact on acid mine drainage (AMD), which is currently contaminating 480,000 km of rivers, remains unclear. Here we combine a g...

External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a standard neurosurgical procedure for cerebrospinal fluid diversion and intracranial pressure monitoring, yet conventional freehand techniques are associated with substantia...

The availability of natural soils with hydraulic conductivity below 1 × 10−9m/sfor liner systems is declining, while industrial waste such as circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) fly ash remains underutilized...

Abstract Background Hepaticojejunostomy stenosis represents a clinically relevant long-term complication after pancreatic surgery and may result in recurrent cholangitis and impaired quality of life. T-tube drainage is o...

Surface water recycling is essential for addressing water scarcity in arid regions like Iran. This study assesses the feasibility of enhancing surface water reuse in Tehran’s urban infrastructure by focusing on the cit...

Abstract Groundwater is a central component of the Earth system. However, our understanding of how it is dynamically interlinked with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, geosphere, and anthroposphere rema...

IntroductionGouty tophi are chronic inflammatory nodules resulting from monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition, often leading to joint deformity, skin ulceration, and functional impairment. Surgical management remains...

BackgroundComplex anal fistulas remain a surgical challenge due to their intricate anatomy, high recurrence rates, and potential for sphincter injury. We report a rare case of complex anal fistula with multiple external ...

The impact of land use changes on watershed morphometry has shifted the delivery of ecosystem services from river-centric to aquifer-centric in the Ganga River Basin. We assessed the hydrosociology of 4830 dugwell develo...

IntroductionChronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inborn error in immunity that results in increased infectious susceptibility to serious infections, often from catalase-positive organisms, due to defects in the NADP...

The article investigates the notion of refugium as both shelter and enclave, situating it in relation to wetlands (swamps, marshes, and peat bogs) and their significance in the literature and cultural imagination of Cent...

Abstract Rapid and continuous urbanization has increased water demand in cities worldwide. Global assessments of urban water scarcity should be conducted using gridded hydrological information, but are hampered by the la...

Culverts play a critical role in stormwater conveyance, roadway safety, and flood mitigation, particularly within low-lying urban communities vulnerable to extreme rainfall events. In Louisiana, increased rainfall intens...

Introduction: Ureteral Double J (DJ) stents are commonly used in urology to ensure urinary drainage. However, prolonged indwelling time increases the risk of bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation, which can lead t...

This article examines how floodwater can become a driver of urban resilience in Addis Ababa. Focusing on the Upper Kebena River basin, the study analyzes how rapid urbanization, steep geomorphology, low- infiltration soi...

Access to clean water is a global challenge, particularly in the Global South, where scarcity and pollution threaten human and ecosystem health. Traditional water quality monitoring is limited in spatial and temporal cov...
