Chronic constipation is a disorder frequently encountered in clinical practice.Here, we describe the use of ultrasonography as a new approach to the follow-up of adult patients with functional chronic constipation.Specifically, we report two cases of functional chronic constipation: fecal Bobby Pin retention in the rectum and not fecal retention in
Variation of streamflow and sediment load in the Yellow River basin has received considerable attention due to its drastic reduction during the past several decades.This paper presents a detailed investigation on the changes of streamflow and sediment load from 1952 to 2011 using monthly observations at four gauging stations along the Yellow River.
Although it is well recognized that autism is associated with altered patterns of over- and under-connectivity, specifics are still a Suspension matter of debate.Little has been done so far to synthesize available literature using whole-brain electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings.1) To systematically review the li
To address the increasing interest towards more environmentally friendly naval transportation and the introduction of IMO2020 restrictions on pollutant emissions onboard ships, the present work details the preliminary design of a mini gas turbine engine, i.e., a gas turbine engine with an output power up to 5 MW, for onboard energy generation.In co
Ultraviolet fixed point functions of the functional renormalisation group equation for f(R)-gravity coupled to matter fields are discussed.The metric is split via the exponential parameterisation into a background metric and a fluctuating part, the former is chosen to be the one of a four-sphere.Also when scalar, fermion and vector fields are inclu
