In the field of water distribution networks, experiments have been confined, for the moment, to some remarkable applications made by Azienda Acquedotto Municipale (Municipal Water Utility) of Turin and refer to the following: -descaling and cleaning by the canal-jet method; - inside sealing of joints by epoxy resins; - lining old asbestos cement pipes, no longer valid, with pipes in a variety of materials; - in-situ coating of old asbestos cement and grey pig iron pipes by a flexible sheath of resin-impregnated, synthetic-fiber woven material. The main data referring to the said corrective actions are supplied, together with costs and evaluations apt to provide a general comparison between the various methods. Most favourable conclusions can be drawn on the methods tested, from the results discussed. Indeed, it is felt that such methods can be the correct approach to solve specific problems, while permitting sizeable savings as compared to outright replacement of pipes.

Among its other function, ONAPO monitors proper use of family planning methods and studies the integration of family planning services into public health. Pilot family planning programs began in the prefectures of Butare, Kigali, and Ruhengeri and were extended to the other 7 around 1985. The development of family planning services in Rwanda is based on their integration into existing services, especially those devoted to maternal-child health. In 1989, 277 of the 350 health centers of all kinds in Rwanda and 12 secondary posts offered family planning services. The rate of integration was 79.4%. 185 of the 277 health services with family planning services were in the public sector. As of December 1989, the rate of integration in different prefectures varied from a high of 95.5% in Kibungo to a low of 64.9% in Gisenyi. Integration is particularly weak in health facilities administered by the Catholic Church. The 2 strategies to confront this situation are continuing dialogue with Catholic Church officials and creation of secondary family planning posts to improve accessibility to family planning for populations served by Church health services. The number of new and continuing family planning users increased from 1178 and 1368 respectively in 1982 to 66,950 and 104,604 through September 1990. There is wide variation from 1 prefecture to another in recruitment of new acceptors and in the number of acceptors per health facility. Recruitment of new acceptors is greatest in Ruhengeri, followed by Kigali and Byumba. As of September 1990, 28,943 women used pills, 2037 used IUDs, 66,515 used injectables, 3051 used barrier methods, 2888 used auto-observation methods, 343 used implants, and 588 were sterilized. The overall rate of contraceptive prevalence increased from .9% in 1983 to 6.2% in 1989 and 10% in 1990. The strategy for promoting family planning has included training of personnel, improvement of supervision, regular supply of contraceptive equipment and supplies to health supervision, regular supply of contraceptive equipment and supplies to health centers, diversification of available methods, and addition of secondary family planning posts to improve accessibility. Obstacles still affecting Rwanda's family planning program include the pronatalist cultural orientation, which is being confronted by a vigorous IEC program. The reluctance of Catholic-affiliated health services to offer modern family planning methods, the shortage of trained family planning workers, contraceptive supply problems, and geographic inaccessibility of family planning services are other serious problems. To confront these problems, ONAPO plans to begin social marketing program, create more secondary health planning posts, promote integration of family planning services into the vaccination program, strengthen efforts to motivate postpartum women, and undertake a community distribution program for condoms and spermicides.

We present 3 cases that are all characterized by severe (Type II) DCS with signs and symptoms of spinal cord injury occurring in conjunction with arterial gas embolism (AGE). We consider the AGE "minor" because only 2 of the 3 subjects initially lost consciousness, and in all cases the signs and symptoms of the AGE had essentially resolved within 1 h or by the time recompression therapy began. DCS was resistant to recompression therapy, even though treatment began promptly after the accident in 2 of the 3 cases. None of the cases had a good neurologic outcome and there has been one death. None of the divers exceeded the U.S. Navy "no-stop" limits for the depths at which they were diving. We have observed a previously unreported clinical syndrome characterized by severe Type II DCS subsequent to AGE following pressure-time exposures that would normally not be expected to produce DCS. We postulate that AGE may have precipitated or predisposed to this form of DCS.

Fifty extracted and frozen bovine mandibular primary incisors were used. The etchant used in this study was 37% phospholic acid gel and the etching times were 0, 10, 20, 30 and 60 seconds. All of the specimens were washed with an air water spray after etching. The bonding agent and composite resin used in this study were Dual Cured Scotch Bond and Silux (3M Co.). Shear bond strengths on the ground enamel were measured. After the shear bond strength test, all the test surfaces of the enamel and resin specimens were observed using the SEM. The results of this study were compared with the previous results using Photo Bond and Photo Clearifil A (Kurarey Co.). 1) The etching time which showed the highest bond strength was 20 seconds (76.77 +/- 12.99 Mpa). 2) When the enamel was etched with all of the etching times, the bond strength were significantly higher than that of the enamel without etching (p less than 0.01). 3) In the etched groups, there was no significant difference among the bond strengths with all of the etching times categories. 4) In the etched groups, the longer the etching times, the lower the standard deviations were. 5) On the enamel specimens after the shear bond strength test, the frequency of the resin tags fractured inside of the enamel prisms was higher in the group which showed a lower bond strength. 6) For the same etching times, significant difference between the bond strengths of Silux and those of Photo Clearfil A was obtained only with the 20 seconds of etching time (p less than 0.01) and the bond strength of Silux was higher.

Breastfeeding is good for the infant. Antibodies passed to it from the mother protect it from infection. Patterns of breastfeeding are changing. Therefore, the risk of pregnancy is increased. Postpartum amenorrhea plays a major role in natural fertility regulation. Studies from around the world show a positive correlation between the length of breastfeeding and the length of lactational amenorrhea. Amenorrhea lasts longer in those who breastfeed more often at night and during the day. There is controversy over the effect of nutrition on postpartum infertility. Pregnancy and the puerperium are a good time for counseling on maternal nutrition, child spacing, breastfeeding, and contraceptive methods. Counseling nursing mothers about potential fertility during lactation should be based on local information. All women should be advised to fully breastfeed. Family planning programs should cooperate with maternity services in providing counseling and education for postpartum women who need contraception, for providing referral services, for producing educational resources, and in training health personnel. Postpartum contraception should be included in the training of traditional birth attendants. Women who do not breastfeed can select any contraceptive method. Mothers who nurse must not hurt success of lactation or the infant's health. Nonhormonal contraception should be the 1st choice for lactating women. IUDs do not harm infant growth or lactation. Postpartum insertions are appropriate, though care must be taken. Female sterilization can be conveniently done at this time. Barrier methods are reliable when used regularly. The failure rate should be lower when used after delivery. Progestagen-only contraception consists of progestagen-only pills, injectables, and Norplant. These do not affect quality and quantity of breast milk or length of lactation. They are suitable for those who do not wish nonhormonal methods. There are possible consequences, however, of the transfer of the steroid to breast milk. Hormonal methods should not be used earlier than 6 weeks postpartum. High and low dose oral contraceptives adversely affect the quality and quantity of breast milk. They also reduce duration of lactation. They should be withheld until 6 weeks after delivery, or until the infant is weaned--whichever comes first. The efficacy or periodic abstinence in nursing women requires further analysis.

Nursing would not exist without caring. Care and quality of life are closely related. Human behavior is a manifestation of culture. We can say that caring and nursing care are expression of culture. The nurse must understand the relationship of culture with care for ensure quality nursing care. But knowledge of cultural factors in nursing is not well developed. Time and in-depth study are needed to find meaningful relationships between culture and care. Nurses recognized the importance of culturally appropriate nursing. There are two care systems in culturally based nursing. The folk care system and the professional nursing care system. The folk care system existed long before the professional nursing care system was introduced into this culture. If the discrepancy between these two care systems is great, the client may receive inappropriate nursing care. Culture and subcultures are diverse and dynamic in nature. Nurses need to know the caring behaviors, patterns, and their meaning in their own culture. In Korea we have taken some first step to study cultural nursing phenomena. It is not our intent necessarily to return to the past and develop a nationalistic of nursing, but to identify the core of traditional caring and relate that to professional nursing care. Our Assumptions are as follows: 1) Care is essential for human growth, well being and survival. 2) There are diverse and universal forma, expressions, patterns, and processes of human care that exist transculturally. 3) The behaviors and functions of caring differ according to the social structure of each culture. 4) Cultures have folk and professional care values, beliefs, and practices. To promote the quality of nursing care we must understand the folk care value, beliefs, and practices. We undertook this study to understand caring in our traditional culture. The Goals of this study were as follows: 1) To identify patterns in caring behavior, 2) To identify the structural components of caring, and 3) To understand the meaning and some principles of caring. We faced several questions in this study. Who is the care-giver? Who is the care-recipient? Was the woman the major care-giver at any time? What are the patterns in caring behavior? What art the principles underlying the caring process? We used an interdisciplinary team approach, composed of representatives from nursing and anthropology, to contribute in-depth understanding of caring through a sociocultural perspective. A Field study was conducted in Ro-Bong, a small agricultural kinship village.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) Descriptors article, cultural anthropology, human, Korea, nursing care, traditional medicine Links Book Title Database MEDLINE Publisher Data Source Embase Authors Ko,S.
