objective: we report a case of intraperitoneal urinary bladder rupture i week following normal delivery in a primigravida, who presented with huge urinary ascites, anuria and renal failure. abdominal paracentesis and exploratory laparotomy was done and a diagnosis of intraperitoneal bladder rupture was made. the rent was repaired in layers. this may be preventable if adequate precaution in the ...

Cutting a deformable body may be viewed as an interchange between three forms of energy: the elastic energy stored in the deformed body, the work done by a sharp tool as it moves against it, and the irreversible work spent in creating a fracture. Other dissipative phenomena such as friction can optionally also be considered. The force applied can be found by evaluating the work done by a tool w...

We develop a 2D slip-weakening description of a self-healing slip pulse that propagates dynamically in a steady-state configuration. The model is used to estimate patterns of off-fault secondary failure induced by the rupture, and also to infer fracture energies G for large earthquakes. This extends an analysis for a semiinfinite rupture (Poliakov et al., 2002) to the case of a finite slipping ...

We studied strong-motion spectra observed for three Mw 7.8 to 8.0 earthquakes (the 1985 Michoacan, Mexico; 1985 Valparaiso, Chile; and 1983 Akita-Oki, Japan earthquakes). We determined the decay of spectral amplitude with distance from the station, considering different measures of distance from a finite fault. We compared strong-motion spectra (Fourier acceleration spectra) observed for these ...

Close examination of the P waves from earthquakes ranging in size across several orders of magnitude shows that the shape of the initiation of the velocity waveforms is independent of the magnitude of the earthquake. A model in which earthquakes of all sizes have similar rupture initiation can explain the data. This suggests that it is difficult to estimate the eventual size of an earthquake fr...

for diagnosing prom, the need has been acutely felt for special care in obstetrics. coordinated management for patient care between the clinician and midwives is the custom in several obstetric care centers. diagnosis and treatment by the physician has greatly facilitated the work of midwives, to the extent that they now play an important role in the special nursing of women in solving obstetri...

[1] The massive tsunami generated by the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake (Mw 9.0) was widely recorded by GPS buoys, wave gauges, and ocean bottom pressure sensors around the source. Numerous inversions for finite‐fault slip time histories have been performed using seismic and/ or geodetic observations, yielding generally consistent patterns of large co‐seismic slip offshore near the hypocenter ...

Background:Spontaneous bladder rupture is a rare condition, and almost all the reported cases in the world have been preceded by bladder dysfunction, radiotherapy, urinary tract obstruction, pelvic surgery, inflammation, and malignancy. Case report: In this study, we present the case of a 39-year-old woman (G: 4, P: 1, Ab: 2) who was in week 38 of pregnancy and attended our hospital with the on...

There are increasing amounts of evidence that earthquake rupture is a mixed process between what is called frictional slip failure and fracture of intact rock mass. In fact, there is a strong possibility that what is called a 'barrier' or 'asperity' on earthquake faults is a local patch of high rupture growth resistance whose strength equals the strength of intact rock. In addition, the lithost...
