Abdominal compartment syndrome occurs when the abdominal cavity (compartment) within the body becomes subject to increased pressure from within.
This may be caused by internal bleeding, a blockage or fluid build-up in the intestines, or 'ascites' which is when fluid accumulates in the peritoneal cavity - the space between the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) and the abdominal organs (the stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder).
This increased pressure causes the abdomen to distend or expand, stretching the skin and placing pressure on the abdominal organs, which can constrict the blood vessels which supply them.
When the pressure reaches a level above that of the blood supply to the tissues and organs of the abdomen, ischemia will happen leading to organ dysfunction and eventually failure.
An operation called a decompressive laparotomy may need to be performed, where an incision is made to open the abdominal cavity.
The incision is typically left open for a period of time to reduce the  pressure in the abdomen.
Primary or acute abdominal compartment syndrome occurs when injuries within the abdomen are responsible for the compartment syndrome
Secondary abdominal compartment syndrome occurs when there are no visible injury within the abdomen but injuries outside the abdomen cause fluid build-up inside the abdominal cavity
Chronic abdominal compartment syndrome occurs happens in association with diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver.

A Bogotá bag is a sterile plastic bag used to temporarily close incisions in the abdomen.
It is generally a sterilized, 3 liter urological irrigation fluid bag, that is sewn to the skin or fascia of the anterior abdominal wall.
It is called a 'Bogotá bag' because it was first used by Oswaldo Borraez, a doctor in Bogotá, Colombia.
Temporary abdominal closure techniques are used to postpone definite closure until predisposing factors causing pathologic elevation of intra abdominal pressure are resolved.
These techniques include the Bogota bag, absorbable mesh, vacuum pack dressings, the Wittmann patch or velcro burr and the KCI VAC or Abthera dressings.
The Bogota bag acts as a hermetic barrier that avoids evisceration and loss of fluids.
Another advantage to the Bogota bag, is that the abdominal contents can be visually inspected.
The bogota bag can be used in cases of 'burst abdomen' following laparotomies, especially those using a midline horizontal incision.
Burst abdomen is usually characterized by a serosanguinous pink discharge from the wound, 6–8 days after surgery

The act of locating something, of finding or defining the location of something, is a basic idea of modern science.
In physics to say what "to locate" or "location" means, we must explain with clear talk how we do the job of locating something.
For things about our size, we generally use two beginning points that everybody knows about, and then we measure from those points to the thing we want to give a location.
We might start with the Plymouth Rock and the Blarney Stone.
We could then say, "Captain Smith's ship is 1400 miles from Plymouth Rock going toward the Blarney Stone."
Or, in another case we might say, "Captain Jones's ship can be found by drawing a line from Plymouth Rock to the Blarney Stone, finding a point 700 miles along this line from Plymouth Rock, taking a left turn of 90° upon reaching this point from Plymouth Rock, and then traveling an additional 90 miles.
If we have some good way of knowing compass directions, we can say something like, "Go three miles north of that big white rock over there and then go two miles east from that point.
That is where I put the gold."
Finding the location of something is ordinarily done by seeing it somewhere, hearing it somewhere, feeling it somewhere, etc.
Sometimes we know where something is by looking at a photograph, finding it with radar, or pinging it with sonar.
It is much more difficult to locate an electron, a photon, or anything else about that small.
We may construct a light source that only makes one photon at a time.
We can aim the light source at a piece of photographic film, let the light source make one photon, and then develop the photographic film.
If we had very sensitive photographic film that could be darkened by only one photon, then we would find a tiny speck of silver where the photon ended up.
A silver atom is much larger than a photon, so there would be some fuzziness about where the photon ended up, but people probably would agree that the photon must have ended up somewhere within the target formed by the silver atom.
However, all we can say is that the photon must have been at that point when it ended its existence.
When a photon is absorbed by an electron it gives its energy to the electron and disappears.
So when it was briefly at some definite place it immediately lost all of its motion.
Another way to locate a photon is to make it go through a small place.
Knowing when the light source sends out a photon, and knowing the speed of light, we can know when it must be going through a hole in a plate put in the center of its path to the film.
We can gradually get closer and closer to finding out exactly where it is in the middle of its flight.
However, the path that it will take from there on becomes progressively wild.
That is because when a photon goes through a hole like that it experiences diffraction.
"Let 'Em In" is a single released in 1976, performed by Paul McCartney.
The song reached the Top 3 in the United States and across the United Kingdom.
This single has been covered and sampled by other musicians.
The Trajectory something follows is its path through space and time.
If a cannon is fired, its shell will follow a certain path depending on how much gunpowder was used, how heavy the shell is, and the angle up and down that the cannon is aimed at.

Duecento is the name of the 13th century in the Italian language.
It is related to the culture of the Pre-Renaissance in Italy.
The Duecento is considered the century before the beginning of the Italian Renaissance cultural movement in the Trecento.
It is sometimes called Early Proto-Renaissance.
Other important cities were Pisa, Siena, Arezzo, Mantua and Perugia, all of them in the area of Tuscany.
In the Duecento Italy developed the music of the so-called Trovatori, including Sordello of Mantua.
From them later developed the classical music of the Italian Renaissance.
The main personalities in this century were: Dante Alighieri (considered the "father" of the Italian language); Guittone d'Arezzo; Cimabue; Giotto di Bondone; Guido da Siena; Nicola Pisano; Arnolfo di Cambio and others.
Giotto, who was an Italian painter and architect from Florence, is generally thought of as the first in a line of great artists of the Italian Renaissance that stretched until Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.
During the Duecento the religious figure of Saint Francis of Assisi dominated the Italian souls.
His poem Canticle of the Sun is considered a precursor of Renaissance poetry

It in the eastern entrance of the Straits of Singapore.
It is the easternmost point of Singapore.
The island was the subject of a dispute between Malaysia and Singapore.
In 2008, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Pedra Branca is part of Singapore.
On 2 February 2017, Malaysia applied to the ICJ pursuant to Article 61 of the Statute of the ICJ for the revision of the 2008 judgment on the basis of three documents it had obtained from The National Archives of the UK between August 2016 and January 2017.
The documents were internal correspondence of Singapore's colonial government in 1958, an incident report submitted by a British naval officer in the same year, and a 1960s map of naval operations bearing annotations.
The Malaysian Government said that these documents indicated that "officials at the highest levels in the British colonial and Singaporean administration appreciated that Pedra Branca/Pulau Batu Puteh did not form part of Singapore’s sovereign territory" during the relevant period.
