Abstract:

Chest tube is a flexible plastic tube used to discharge secretion in the cavity between the lungs and chest named pleural cavity. Normally, there is a small amount of fluid in the cavity between the lungs and chest; This fluid helps the movement of lungs during breathing without abrasion. Entrance of bit of air, blood or pus because injury in the pleural cavity can prevent the lungs from fully opening. Full or partial collapse of the lungs makes breathing difficult and can lead to respiratory arrest; putting chest tube in the pleural cavity causes the discharge of secretion and helps patients comfort.Chest Electro-Drainage mobile system is designed to drain air, blood, water and pus accumulated in the space between the visceral and parietal pleural cavity. Based on low volume and weight, this system can be used to treat Pneumothorax, Hemothorax and Hydrothorax and so forth, both in the emergency state and treatment centers. Obviously, this system will be an action to reduce deaths especially in the case of Pneumothorax.

DESIGN AND STRUCTURE OF A NEW DEVICE FOR AUDITORY ELECTRICAL STIMULATION FOR SUPPRESSION OF TINNITUS

Auditory Electrical Stimulation for Tinnitus Suppression Tinnitus is the conscious experience of sound which arises in the head of its owner, but without a voluntary origin obvious to that person. About 10-15% of all adults report prolonged spontaneous tinnitus (PST). There are a lot of methods for suppressing this complaint. One of these methods is electrical stimulation. Electrical stimu...

Developing a Drain for Drainage of Seroma: Evaluation of Its Efficacy with External Drainage

Introduction:  Seroma formation continues to be a problem for patients undergoing surgery of the breast or axilla for invasive breast cancer. In general, seroma usually disappears within several weeks; however, some patients are troubled by chronic seroma. Several techniques have been utilized to minimize seroma formation, with no consistent success. Considering the high prevalence of seroma in...

Piezoelectrically Tuned Electro-optic Device

Towards fabricating stress-tuned lasers on GaAs ubstrates, four major topics have been addressed. First, fabrication of piezoelectric thin films on GaAs has been accomplished. A maximum remnant polarization of 20 ~C/cm2 and a coercive field of 60 kV/cm were achieved. Improvement in the quality of the Si3N 4 passivation layer (from a pinhole density of 1700 mm-2 down to 60 mm-2) and optimization...

Soehendra stent retriever--a useful device for pancreatic pseudocyst drainage.

A 52-year-old patient with chronic pancreatitis was admitted for drainage of two symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) showed pseudocysts in the pancreatic body and head of 50×40mm and 30×20mm in size, respectively. We first performed transgastric drainage of the pancreatic body pseudocyst, using a lumen-apposing stent. In the same session, we approached the pancr...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
