High-spatial-resolution (HSR) two-component, two-dimensional particle-image-velocimetry (2C-2D PIV) measurements of a zero-pressure-gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layer (TBL) and an adverse-pressure-gradient (APG)-TBL were taken in the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Fluides Lille (LMFL) High Reynolds number Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel. The ZPG-TBL has momentum-thickness based R e δ 2 = U ∕ ν 7 ...

Objective: To explore the effect of Bismuth Subgallate/Borneol (SuileTM BSB) healing dressing combined with autologous platelet-rich gel (APG) in treatment diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Methods: A total 120 patients DFU hospitalized Changsha Central Hospital from August 2020 to September 2021 were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group (BSB + APG, n = 60) a control (BSB, accordin...

Higher-order turbulent products of momentum and temperature are experimentally presented for heated boundary layers subjected to adverse pressure gradient (APG) and zero pressure gradient (ZPG) flows. Clauser’s equilibrium parameter, b, was set to 1.8 for APG case and 0 for ZPG case. The temperature difference between the heated wall and free stream was held constant at 12°C. Triple wire measur...

The recovery of patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) can be adversely affected by a number of complications. Autologous platelet gel (APG), produced by activating platelet-rich plasma (PRP), has been shown to improve hemostasis and wound healing and reduce infections in some surgical procedures. Activated platelet-poor plasma (PPP) has also been used as a hemostatic agent. This...

Atrial action potential heterogeneity is a major determinant of atrial reentrant arrhythmias, but the underlying ionic mechanisms are poorly understood. To evaluate the basis of spatial heterogeneity in canine right atrial repolarization, we isolated cells from 4 regions: the crista terminalis (CT), appendage (APG), atrioventricular ring (AVR) area, and pectinate muscles. Systematic action pote...

OBJECTIVE The prediction of health impairment due to work overload is subjectively assessed based on recognized symptoms; however, objective evaluation is primarily ideal in the field of occupational health. Recently, some biomarkers of autonomic function and/or oxidative stress were reported to be associated with fatigue. This study aimed to preliminarily investigate whether these biomarkers c...

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of an anterior extension of the parotid gland, such as an accessory parotid gland (APG) or facial process (FP) and to evaluate its characteristics on computed tomography (CT) scans. We reviewed CT scans of 1,600 parotid glands from 800 patients. An APG on CT was defined as a soft-tissue mass of the same density as the main parotid gland, ...

BACKGROUND The association between admission hyperglycemia and adverse outcomes in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been well studied, and the optimal plasma glucose cut-off values for prognosis for NSTEMI patients with and without diabetes have not been determined. METHODS According to glucose le...
