Purpose. To examine the graft-host interface during Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) surgery with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Design. Prospective, interventional case series. Patients and Methods. Eight patients who underwent a DSAEK were included. A handheld OCT was used intraoperatively to examine the presence of interface fluid between the host cornea a...

  Objective(s): Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is one of the most common digestive disorders that frequently lead to pulmonary complications due to gastric fluid aspiration. In the present experimental study, chronic aspiration of gastric fluid, its components and bile salts in rat lung was performed to find out the main factor(s) causing pulmonary complications of gastric fluid aspirat...

The studies of the behavior of fluid on the nano-level has shown to be an important means of influencing the characteristic of fluid must especially in the area of thermal conductivity. Giving relevance in numerous fields such as biomedicine, manufacturing, fuel cells and soon on. This article considers flow and heat transfer of viscous fluid conveying Gold nanoparticles through expanding or co...

BACKGROUND Carrageenin (CAR) injection into the pleural cavity causes local inflammation called carrageenin-induced pleurisy (CAR-IP). Inflammation onset is characterized by an activation of pro-inflammatory NFkappaB, RelA-p50, while inflammation resolution is characterized by an activation of an anti-inflammatory NFkappaB, p50-p50, that re-establishes homeostasis, an essential process for an o...

In this work, we evaluate the effect of ferrocene delivery in reactor on growth single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) an aerosol CVD utilizing monoxide as a feedstock. For purpose, assess output parameters varying gas flow rate through vapor injector hot zone with other conditions (temperature, total rate, and reactant concentration) being fixed. Our experimental results reveal adjustment inj...

OBJECTIVES To develop an animal model of rhinosinusitis in microgravity, to characterize the behavior of intracavitary fluid in microgravity, and to assess the accuracy of ultrasonographic (US) diagnosis in microgravity. DESIGN An animal model of acute sinusitis was developed in anesthetized swine by creating a window into a frontal sinus to allow unilateral catheter placement and injection o...

Passage of bovine serum albumin (BSA) into unimplanted rabbit blastocysts was studied using intravenous or intrauterine injection of the mother and in vitro cultivation of 5-day blastocysts. BSA concentration in blastocyst fluid was measured using a quantitative radial immunodiffusion method and confirmed by double diffusion in agar. Intravenous injection of up to 200 mg/kg body weight produced...

There is scientific and industrial interest in understanding how geologic faults respond to transient sources of fluid. Natural artificial can elevate pore fluid pressure on the fault frictional interface, which may induce slip. We consider a simple boundary value problem provide an elementary model physical process benchmark for numerical solution procedures. examine slip that interface two el...

After intraventricular injection of 99mTc antimony sulfide in rabbits (n = 12) and cats (n = 14), radiolabeled colloid was imaged passing into the nasal mucosa and subsequently into the cervical lymph nodes. The cervical lymph nodes accounted for about 12% of the injected dose in rabbits sacrificed at 22-24 hr after injection and about 5% of the injected dose in cats sacrificed at 5-6 hr after ...
