Alternatively, the condition may result from an overproduction of the CSF, from a congenital malformation blocking normal drainage of the fluid, or from complications of head injuries or infections.

This shunt is usually inserted in between two of the vertebrae in the lumbar and punctures the cerebrospinal fluid sack or lumbar subarachnoid space, it then runs beneath the skin to the peritoneal cavity, where it is eventually drained away by the normal bodily fluid drainage system.

Modern drainage systems which collect runoff from impervious surfaces ( e. g., roofs and roads ) ensure that water is efficiently conveyed to waterways through pipe networks, meaning that even small storm events result in increased waterway flows.

The tax is usually accompanied by a number of service taxes, e. g., water tax, drainage tax, conservancy ( sanitation ) tax, lighting tax, all using the same tax base.

Several reserves must first address water quality issues and / or restore hydrologic regimes ( i. e. sheet flow, tidal exchange, and freshwater drainage ) before they can restore terrestrial and aquatic native plant communities and achieve faunal and ecological recovery.

Factors in designing include objective qualities ; such as the climate and microclimates ; topography and orientation, site drainage and groundwater recharge ; municipal and resource building codes, soils and irrigation, human and vehicular access and circulation, recreational amenities ( i. e.: sports and water ), furnishings and lighting, native plant habitat botany when present, property safety and security, construction detailing, and other measurable considerations.

The left supraclavicular node is the classical Virchow's node because it is on the left side of the neck where the lymphatic drainage of most of the body ( from the thoracic duct ) enters the venous circulation via the left subclavian vein. The metastasis blocks the thoracic duct leading to regurgitation into the surrounding nodes i. e. virchow's node.

In comparison with public bodies in other countries, watershed districts are most similar to the internal drainage boards of England and Wales, Waterschappen of the Netherlands and Consorzi di bonifica e irrigazione of Italy.

* Storage opportunities in the drainage network ( e. g., lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, channel and bank storage capacity )

Sir John Hawkshaw also had a wide experience in constructing harbours ( e. g. Holyhead ) and docks ( e. g. Penarth, the Albert Dock at Hull, and South Dock ( formerly the City Canal ) of the West India Docks in London ), in river-engineering, in drainage and sewerage, in water-supply, etc.

Open-angle glaucoma ( OAG ) and closed-angle glaucoma ( CAG ) may be treated by muscarinic receptor agonists ( e. g., pilocarpine ), which cause rapid miosis and contraction of the ciliary muscles, opening the trabecular meshwork, facilitating drainage of the aqueous humour into the canal of Schlemm and ultimately decreasing intraocular pressure.

For a brief period each year, the rays of the sun are warm enough to melt some of the snows piled a mile deep at the base of the headwalls, and then the pinnacles glisten in the daytime at high noon, and billions of gallons of water begin their slow seepage under the glaciers and across the rockstrewn hanging valleys on their long, meandering journey to the sea -- running east past the sky-carving massifs of Gurla Mandhata and Kemchenjunga, then turning south and curling down through the jungles of Assam, past the Khasi Hills, and into Bengal, past Sirinjani and Madaripur, until the hard water of the melting snows mingles with the soft drainage of fields and at length fans out to meld with the teeming salt depths of the Bay of Bengal.

Both abolition of war and new techniques of production, particularly robot factories, greatly increase the world's wealth, a situation described in the following passage, which has the true utopian ring: `` Everything was so cheap that the necessities of life were free, provided as a public service by the community, as roads, water, street lighting and drainage had once been.

Some are no more than a widening of a stream valley ; others, such as the Konya Ovasi, are large basins of inland drainage or are the result of limestone erosion.

Where a lake has formed within the basin, the water body is usually saline as a result of the internal drainage — the water has no outlet to the sea.

The drainage of a lung abscess may be performed by positioning the patient in a way that enables the contents to be discharged via the respiratory tract.

In North America, after drainage, an abscess cavity is often packed.

It is important to note that antibiotic therapy alone without surgical drainage of the abscess is seldom effective due to antibiotics often being unable to get into the abscess and their ineffectiveness at low pH levels.
