Primary Thoracic Wall Hydatid Cyst Extended to the Abdominal wall: A Case Report

Hydatid disease (HD) is an infectious disease caused by echinococcosis. Hydatid cyst (HC) most commonly invades the liver (60-70%) and the lungs (20-25%). However, other parts of the body and even unusual locations can be infected, mimicking a benign lesion that could be easily missed. Primary HC of the chest wall is extremely rare, even in countries where echinococcosis is endemic. We he...

Primary Hydatid Disease of the Chest Wall Presenting as a Chest Wall Tumor

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease that is endemic in Mediterranean areas, South America, North Africa, Australia, and Iran. Although the liver and lung are the most common involved organs, but the other organs in human body also can be involved by hydatid cyst. Chest wall involvement by hydatid cyst is a rare condition, which may be misdiagnosed as chest wall tumor in the endemic areas. Herei...

Introducing Padded Wall to Reduce Sloshing Induced Wall Pressure in Water Storage Tanks

Sloshing due to ground motion develops large pressure on the walls of water retaining tanks. This paper evaluates the efficacy of padded walls on the reduction of sloshing effects in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to ground motion. An analytical solution based on velocity potential function is provided to obtain the response of  rigid and padded wall tanks in terms of the wave elevat...
