Compressed-air flow control system.

We present the construction and operation of a compressed-air driven flow system that can be used for a variety of microfluidic applications that require rapid dynamic response and precise control of multiple inlet streams. With the use of inexpensive and readily available parts, we describe how to assemble this versatile control system and further explore its utility in continuous- and pulsed-...

Rectal perforation by compressed air

As the use of compressed air in industrial work has increased, so has the risk of associated pneumatic injury from its improper use. However, damage of large intestine caused by compressed air is uncommon. Herein a case of pneumatic rupture of the rectum is described. The patient was admitted to the Emergency Room complaining of abdominal pain and distension. His colleague triggered a compresse...

Subcutaneous emphysema due to compressed air.

Compressed-air tools are of interest by reason of their vibratory action which affects the peripheral circulation of the fingers. Raynaud's syndrome in riveters, pneumatic chisellers and drillers is well known. The harmful effect is almost certainly due to vibration, although cooling of the hands may occur with some pneumatic tools and may be a contributory factor.* Apart from using compressed ...
