objective(s): the aim of this study wasto investigate the effects of mild hypothermia therapy on oxidative stress injury of rabbit brain tissue after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr). materials and methods: rabbit models of cardiac arrest were established. after the restoration of spontaneous circulation, 50 rabbits were randomly divided into normothermia and hypothermia groups. the followin...

According to the practice guidelines of the American Bum Association on burn shock resuscitation, intravenous (i.v.) fluid therapy is the standard of care for the replacement of fluid and electrolyte losses in burn injury of > or = 20% of the total body surface area. However, in mass burn casualties, i.v. fluid resuscitation may be delayed or unavailable. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT), which h...

Abstract The flow of a fluid through textiles has been studied for a number of years. Understanding the flow phenomena along with the corresponding environmental changes (pressure drop, concentration gradient, etc.) becomes important in many fields, such as liquid transport through geomembranes, effluent movement through filtration devices, and chemical movement through protective apparel. This...

Large-scale features of a randomly isotropically forced incompressible and unbounded rotating fluid are examined in perturbation theory. At first order in both the random force amplitude and the angular velocity, we find two types of modifications to the fluid equation of motion. The first correction transforms the molecular shear viscosity into a (rotation independent) effective viscosity. The...

A flexible membrane deforming its shape in time can self-propel in a viscous fluid. Alternatively, if the membrane is anchored, its deformation will lead to fluid transport. Past work in this area focused on situations where the deformation kinematics of the membrane were prescribed. Here we consider models where the deformation of the membrane is not prescribed, but instead the membrane is int...
