introduction : confirmation of proper endotracheal tube placement is one of the most important and lifesaving issues of tracheal intubation. the present study was aimed to evaluate the accuracy of tracheal ultrasonography by emergency residents in this regard.   method : this was a prospective, cross sectional study for evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in endotracheal tube ...

background: considering the common origin of skin and peripheral nervous system, a tube of dermal layer of skin hypothetically can be an ideal conduit for nerve reconstruction. an experimental study performed to evaluate the nerve regeneration of efficacy into a dermal tube. methods: sixty male wistar rats were used. a 10 mm gap was produced in right sciatic nerves. in group a the autogenous ne...

.Hot metal gas forming of tubes can be used in various industries such as automotive and aerospace industries. In this process tube is formed at elevated temperatures, by using gas instead of fluid pressure. Lower required pressure and low power are its advantages in comparison to hydroforming process. In this paper, a hot metal gas bulging process of an aluminum alloy tube has been investigate...

Longitudinal heat conduction is an important parameter in the cryogenic field, especially in cryogenic heat exchangers. In the present work, the parasitic effect of tube wall longitudinal heat conduction on temperature measurement has been studied in cryogenic laminar hydrogen flow. The effects of various parameters such as wall cold end temperature, wall thermal conductivity, gas volumetric fl...

The paper studies optimization of shell-and-tube heat exchangers using the particle swarm optimization technique. A total cost function is formulated based on initial and annual operating costs of the heat exchangers. Six variables – shell inside diameter, tube diameter, baffle spacing, baffle cut, number of tube passes and tube layouts (triangular or square) – are considered as the design para...

tubal pregnancies are common but presence of hydatidiform mole in tube is a rare entity. a woman of 53years presented with acute abdomen, preoperative pregnancy test was positive and ultrasonography suspected the case as hydatidiform mole in right tube. the patient was treated with total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy as her family was completed. subsequent histopat...

Background: The unplanned departure of endotracheal tube is one of the main complications for endotracheal intubation. In addition to endotracheal extubation, its movement can also lead to damage to the oral cavity. Stabilizing endotracheal tube is the most important factor that can prevent unplanned departure of endotracheal tube as well as its movement. The current study was done with the aim...

purpose : to report the long-term outcome of patients with iridocorneal endothelial syndrome (ice) who required surgery for glaucoma. materials & methods : this retrospective, noncomparative case series was conducted on 11 patients with ice who underwent surgery to control their glaucoma between 1992 and 2004 in farabi eye hospital. the first surgery was trabeculectomy with mitomycin c except i...
