Swelling Rock

Replaced backfilling clay is one of the treatment measures in the Luwangfen swelling rock test Region of middle-route of South-to-North Water Division Project. First, by using 18 tons vibration roller compaction mechanism, on the condition of 3 different thicknesss and 5 different compaction times, settlement, dry density, water content and permeability coefficient are studied before and after the compaction test to find out the optimal thickness and compaction times. Then, by using different compaction mechanisms, the compaction effect is studied on the condition of the optimal thickness and compaction times. Results show that the compaction degree of replaced backfilling clay is 100.0% on the condition that the quantity of vibration bumping roller is above 18 tons, thickness of replaced backfilling clay is no more than 35.0cm and at least it is compacted at least 12 times. Finally, the construction parameters of compaction and related quality controlling index is proposed, which is provided as a reference for design, mechanism’s choice, compaction parameter and quality control index.

The swelling rock slope reinforced by geogrid with wrapped face was one of reinforced methods in the swelling rock test region of main canal in South-to-North Water Division Project, the key step was the geogrid with wrapped face in layer by layer, which was not only the core step to make sure the reinforced swelling rock slope with geogrid as a integrality, but also the most complex, time consuming and cost in the whole process. From the in situ test, the construction technology and related construction parameters of geogrid of simplified face to reinforce the swelling rock slope was obtained, in which the construction of geogrid with wrapped face was optimized, the construction progress was improved and its cost was reduced, which contributed to the generalization and application of geogrid with simplified wrapped face to reinforce swelling rock slope in the middle-route of South-to-North Water Division Project, meanwhile, it was provided as a references for similar engineering.

Whether lung transplantation improves Health-related Quality of Life in patients with emphysema and other end-stage lung diseases before and after lung transplantation was examined. Berween 1992 and 1999, 23 patients with emphysema and 19 patients with other indications completed self-administered questionnaires before lung transplantation, and at 4, 7, 13, and 25 mo. after transplantation. The questionnaire included the Nottingham Health Profile, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Self-rating Depression Scale, the Index of Well-being, the self-report Karnofsky Index, and four respiratory-specific questions. Neither before nor after transplantation were significant differences found on most dimensions of Health-related Quality of Life between patients with emphysema and other indications. Before transplantation, both groups report major restrictions on the dimensions Energy and Mobility of the Nottingham Health Profile, low experienced well-being, depressive symptoms, and high dyspnea. About 4 mo. after transplantation, most Health-related Quality of Life measures improved significantly in both groups. These improvements were maintained in the following 21 mo.

Adult Strabismus

Introduction: Strabismus affects the quality of life of adults both in functional and psychosocial aspect of life. This study was conducted to compare the health related quality of life in adults before and after strabismus surgery.Methods: It was a prospective quantitative study conducted in Nepal Eye Hospital from Sep 2015 to July 2016. Thirty one adult participants with strabismus undergoing strabismus surgery completed the study. Twenty open ended adult strabismus questionnaire (AS-20) were used to assess the health related quality of life of adults before and one month after strabismus surgery.Results: The overall median score of adult strabismus questionnaire for quality of life improved from 68.75 (Interquartile range (IQR 25) to 91.25 (IQR 17.5) after strabismus surgery (p value < 0.00). Similarly, the median function subscale and median psychosocial subscale also improved from 72 (IQR 25) to 95 (10) and from 55 (IQR 37.5) to 90 (IQR 15) respectively after surgery. Conclusion: The quality of life of adult strabismic patients improved significantly after stabismus surgery.

The Impact

(1) Background: This study aimed to analyze the impact of the confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemics on the eating, exercise, and quality-of-life habits of pregnant women. (2) Methods: This was an internet-based cross-sectional survey which collected information about adherence to the Mediterranean diet, physical exercise, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and perceived obstacles (in terms of exercise, preparation for delivery, and medical appointments) of pregnant women before and after the confinement. The survey was conducted in 18–31 May 2020. (3) Results: A total of 90 pregnant women participated in this study. There was a significant decrease in the levels of physical activity (p < 0.01) as well as in HRQoL (p < 0.005). The number of hours spent sitting increased by 50% (p < 0.001), 52.2% were unable to attend delivery preparation sessions because these had been cancelled. However, there were no significant differences in the eating pattern of these women (p = 0.672). Conclusions: These results suggest the need to implement specific online programs to promote exercise and reduce stress, thus improving the HRQoL in this population, should similar confinements need to occur again for any reason in the future.
