Bochdalek's hernia is the most common congenital diaphragmatic hernia in newborns, but it is an uncommon clinical feature in adults. In most cases, there are no symptoms or only minor gastrointestinal problems. Rarely, it may manifest as an acute abdomen due to viscus strangulation, requiring emergency surgery. We report the case of a 52-year-old man with herniation of the colon and a volvulated stomach through a Bochdalek's hernia. The patient was operated on via a laparoscopic approach and had an uneventful recovery. We recommend the laparoscopic approach as an alternative to open surgery in cases of noncomplicated Bochdalek's hernia.
This paper presents the first results of the time-lapse monitoring from the full field ocean bottom life of field seismic system (LoFS) deployed by Shell at the deepwater BC-10 Argonauta field offshore Brazil, the deepest deployment of this technology in the world. The base survey was completed November 2013, shortly after start of production and the first monitor survey was obtained during June 2014, only 3 months after first water injection. The interpretation of high quality fast-track 4D data volumes identified some key 4D anomalies (softening, hardening, time-shifts) that show excellent correlation with the production and injection performance of the field, providing timely input to reservoir management decisions that are essential to enhance and maximize the oil recovery in this field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
