Investigations on Recycling Methods of Gypsum Plaster Waste (Review)
يحتاج الإنسان إلى الحفاظ على البيئة التي يعيش فيها من أجل أن تبقى مناسبة للحياة للأجيال القادمة. حيث تتسبب الصناعات المختلفة التي يشكلها الإنسان في تلوث البيئة من خلال الطمر بالمخلفات التي تنتج عنها وتتسبب في استهلاك مواد أولية جديدة. من هذه الصناعات، صناعة البورك. حيث يتم إنتاج كمية كبيرة من مخلفات البورك من مجالات مختلفة يتم فيها استخدام البورك. لذلك من الضروري العمل على الحد من هذه النفايات عن طريق إعادة استخدامها أو إعادة تدويرها بأقل التكاليف والإجراءات. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى مراجعة الطرق المستخدمة لتقليل كمية مخلفات البورك ومعرفة أفضلها. يمكن الاستنتاج أن أفضل الطرق لتقليل كمية مخلفات البورك بإعادة تدويرها بأقل التكاليف أو إعادة استخدامها بدون أي إجراءات مضافة.Humans need to keep on the clean environment in order to refine suitable life for the next generators. Where, the different industries formed by human, cause the environmental pollution by landfill with wastes produced from it and cause the consumption of fresh raw materials. One of these industries, is gypsum plaster industry. Where, a large amount of gypsum plaster waste is produced from different fields that use the gypsum plaster. Therefore, it is necessary to work on reduction of these wastes by reusing or recycling them with the least costs and procedures. This study aims to review the ways used to reduce gypsum waste amount and to figure ant the best among them. It can be concluded that the best ways to reduce the gypsum waste amount are by recycling it with the least costs or reusing it without any additional procedures
Fatal and non-fatal injury outcomes: results from a purposively sampled census of seven rural subdistricts in Bangladesh
Background
90% of the global burden of injuries is borne by low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, details of the injury burden in LMICs are less clear because of the scarcity of data and population-based studies. The Saving of Lives from Drowning project, implemented in rural Bangladesh, did a census on 1·2 million people to fill this gap. This Article describes the epidemiology of fatal and non-fatal injuries from the study.
Methods
In this study, we used data from the baseline census conducted as part of the Saving of Lives from Drowning (SoLiD) project. The census was implemented in 51 unions from seven purposively sampled rural subdistricts of Bangladesh between June and November, 2013. Sociodemographic, injury mortality, and morbidity information were collected for the whole population in the study area. We analysed the data for descriptive measures of fatal and non-fatal injury outcomes. Age and gender distribution, socioeconomic characteristics, and injury characteristics such as external cause, intent, location, and body part affected were reported for all injury outcomes.
Findings
The census covered a population of 1 169 593 from 270 387 households and 451 villages. The overall injury mortality rate was 38 deaths per 100 000 population per year, and 104 703 people sustained major non-fatal injuries over a 6-month recall period. Drowning was the leading external cause of injury death for all ages, and falls caused the most number of non-fatal injuries. Fatal injury rates were highest in children aged 1–4 years. Non-fatal injury rates were also highest in children aged 1–4 years and those aged 65 years and older. Males had more fatal and non-fatal injuries than females across all external causes except for burns. Suicide was the leading cause of injury deaths in individuals aged 15–24 years, and more than 50% of the suicides occurred in females. The home environment was the most common location for most injuries.
Interpretation
The burden of fatal and non-fatal injuries in rural Bangladesh is substantial, accounting for 44 050 deaths and 21 million people suffering major events annually. Targeted approaches addressing drowning in children (especially those aged 1–4 years), falls among the elderly, and suicide among young female adults are urgently needed to reduce injury deaths and morbidity in Bangladesh
Impact of opioid-free analgesia on pain severity and patient satisfaction after discharge from surgery: multispecialty, prospective cohort study in 25 countries
Background: Balancing opioid stewardship and the need for adequate analgesia following discharge after surgery is challenging. This study aimed to compare the outcomes for patients discharged with opioid versus opioid-free analgesia after common surgical procedures.Methods: This international, multicentre, prospective cohort study collected data from patients undergoing common acute and elective general surgical, urological, gynaecological, and orthopaedic procedures. The primary outcomes were patient-reported time in severe pain measured on a numerical analogue scale from 0 to 100% and patient-reported satisfaction with pain relief during the first week following discharge. Data were collected by in-hospital chart review and patient telephone interview 1 week after discharge.Results: The study recruited 4273 patients from 144 centres in 25 countries; 1311 patients (30.7%) were prescribed opioid analgesia at discharge. Patients reported being in severe pain for 10 (i.q.r. 1-30)% of the first week after discharge and rated satisfaction with analgesia as 90 (i.q.r. 80-100) of 100. After adjustment for confounders, opioid analgesia on discharge was independently associated with increased pain severity (risk ratio 1.52, 95% c.i. 1.31 to 1.76; P < 0.001) and re-presentation to healthcare providers owing to side-effects of medication (OR 2.38, 95% c.i. 1.36 to 4.17; P = 0.004), but not with satisfaction with analgesia (beta coefficient 0.92, 95% c.i. -1.52 to 3.36; P = 0.468) compared with opioid-free analgesia. Although opioid prescribing varied greatly between high-income and low- and middle-income countries, patient-reported outcomes did not.Conclusion: Opioid analgesia prescription on surgical discharge is associated with a higher risk of re-presentation owing to side-effects of medication and increased patient-reported pain, but not with changes in patient-reported satisfaction. Opioid-free discharge analgesia should be adopted routinely
Effects of different respiratory maneuvers on esophageal sphincters in obese patients before and during anesthesia
The Effects of Different Oxygen Concentrations on Recruitment Maneuver During General Anesthesia for Laparoscopic Surgery
Introduction and Purpose: Recruitment maneuvers (RMs), which aim to ventilate the collaborated alveolus by temporarily increasing the transpulmonary pressure, have positive effects in relation to respiration, mainly oxygenation. Although many studies have defined the pressure values used during RM and the application period, our knowledge of the effects of different oxygen concentrations is limited. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of different oxygen concentrations during RM on the arterial oxygenation and respiration mechanics in laparoscopic cases
