Conventionally, patellar tendon-bearing (PTB) sockets, which need high dexterity of prosthetist, are widely used. Lack of chartered and experienced prosthetist has often led to painful experience of wearing prosthesis and this will in turn deter the patients to wear the prosthesis, which will further aggravate stump shrinkage. Thus, the hydrostatic socket which demands relatively lower level of...

Theoretical studies have assumed that the hydrostatic pressure in anaerobic digesters is likely to have a negatively influence on the effectiveness of the biochemical processes in the bioreactors and consequently on the biogas production. These assumptions made the authors approach this interesting topic and carry on experimental studies aimed to reveal the methanogens response on the hydrostat...

Barium enema hydrostatic reduction was carried out for eight patients with Intussusception over a six-month period There were five successes (62%) and three failures. There were no mortality or complications arising out of this procedure. The technique is discussed This procedure offers many advantagesover surgicalreduction. However, it is not a substitute for surgery which is still indicated i...

Morita, Richard Y. (Oregon State University, Corvallis), and Paul F. Mathemeier. Temperature-hydrostatic pressure studies on partially purified inorganic pyrophosphatase activity. J. Bacteriol. 88:1667-1671. 1964.-Partially purified inorganic pyrophosphatase from Bacillus stearothermophilus demonstrated increased activity at 90 C with hydrostatic pressures of 100 to 1,100 atm. At 90 C, optimal ...

Hydrostatic pressure is an important environmental variable that plays an essential role in biological adaptation for many extremophilic organisms (for example, piezophiles). Increase in hydrostatic pressure, much like increase in temperature, perturbs the thermodynamic equilibrium between native and unfolded states of proteins. Experimentally, it has been observed that increase in hydrostatic ...

Endolymphatic pressure measurement is of interest both to researchers in the physiology and pathophysiology of hearing and ENT physicians dealing with Menière's disease or similar conditions. It is generally agreed that endolymphatic hydrops is associated with Menière's disease and is accompanied by increased hydrostatic pressure. Endolymphatic pressure, however, cannot be measured precisely wi...

This paper describes the formulation, verification, and validation of a depth-integrated, non-hydrostatic model with a semi-implicit, finite difference scheme. The formulation builds on the nonlinear shallow-water equations and utilizes a non-hydrostatic pressure term to describe weakly dispersive waves. A momentumconserved advection scheme enables modeling of breaking waves without the aid of ...

Background: The parthenogenetic of oocytes is important in cloning research, as artificial activation of oocytes is an essential component of nucleus transfer protocols. Hydrostatic pressure can act as a mechanical stimulator that rearranges egg contents. Ethanol promotes a single intracellular Ca2+ increase of greater and longer amplitude than the initial increase observed at fertilization. In...

at operation, rather than rely on spontaneous leakage (if this ever occurs) or absorption in the few days immediately following operation. A view of the fundus on the day after operation bears out this supposition in most cases, and in some it would be difficult to tell, except for the area of coagulation, that there had been a detachment present at all, owing to the entire absence of folds or ...
