RESUMO
This data in brief article represents the data set associated with a research article published in Geoderma [1]. The data set represents figures showing the spatial distribution of selected macro and micronutrients, and their quantification in different crop or nutrient management systems practiced in the boreal ecosystem. Spatial distribution of nutrients was measured by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LAâICPâMS), using the new techniques we developed to visualize nutrient distribution in intact soil cores representative of the root rhizosphere. This data article supports the findings published in the main article [1]. This work also demonstrates that LA-ICP-MS is a valuable technique to image the spatial distribution of macro and micronutrients in intact soil cores as affected by different crop management practices.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To discuss the pathophysiology of postoperative ileus (POI) and the addition of gum chewing to a multimodal treatment plan. DATA SOURCES: Review of current literature of the pathophysiology of POI, multimodal treatment options, and current research on gum chewing and its effects on the prevention of POI. CONCLUSIONS: Studies have documented that gum chewing decreases time to flatus and first defecation after surgery. Studies indicate that gum chewing can decrease the length of hospital stay by 1 day. There were no documented adverse effects of gum chewing. The addition of gum chewing to a multimodal treatment program assists with increasing patient comfort, satisfaction, and decreasing healthcare expenditures. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: POI is a common complication of abdominal surgery. Research has indicated that gum chewing has assisted with increasing gastric motility, decreasing lengths of hospital stays, and decreasing healthcare expenditures. Gum chewing is an inexpensive and safe option to add to a multimodal program for the prevention of POI.
