Urihesive: a new aid in the management of urinary incontinence in male paraplegic patients.

Our past practice with incontinent paraplegic patients has been to attach to the penis the sheath incorporated in urinary drainage devices by means of Elastoplast tape. Frequent development of skin lesions due to local irritation, and the necessity to wind Elastoplast tightly around the penis, which may produce urethral diverticula, has led us to use Urihesive to attach the sheath to the urinary drainage device. Urihesive has been used continuously for several months in 18 paraplegic patients. It has proved to be highly superior to Elastoplast, for the following reasons: It produces a better seal, resulting in no leakage of urine, and has better elasticity; it prevents the development of skin lesions and aids healing to existing lesions; there is no urethral constriction and the patient is more comfortable.

[Comparison in vitro between farm-yard manure and liquid manure (author's transl)].

Spreading of liquid manure in a grassland ecosystem, stable since a long time when treated with farm-yard manure, brings out a great unbalance in the soil. In comparison of farm-yard manure, the liquid manure involves -- a decrease of C and N in the soil, -- a deterioration of the soil structure, -- a dangerous change in the CEC for K+ and Na+, -- an excessive stimulation of the microflora. In brief, through its composition the liquid manure involves a hyperactivity of the microglora. This heterotropic microflora is particularly mineralizing and breaks down the organic matter. The result is a temporary increase in fertility. But this stimulation of the soil life disbalances the eco-system in which -- the pool of organic matter decreases without replacement, -- the content in Ca++ and Mg++ decreases to the benefit of K+ and Na+.
