Cerebral arterial gas embolism is a risk in diving and occurs as a complication in surgery and interventional radiology. Swine models for cerebral arterial gas embolism have been used in the past. However, injection of air into the main artery feeding the pig brain - the ascending pharyngeal artery - might be complicated by the presence of the carotid rete, an arteriolar network at the base of ...

investigations are carried out to evaluate the performance of a low heat rejection (lhr) diesel engine consisting of air gap insulated piston with 3-mm air gap, with superni (an alloy of nickel) crown and air gap insulated liner with superni insert with different operating conditions of crude jatropha oil with varied injection timing and injection pressure.  performance parameters of brake ther...

This study aimed to determine the interactions between closely paired swallow-induced primary peristalsis (PP) and air injection-induced secondary peristalsis (SP). Ten subjects (7 men, 18-42 yr) were studied using a catheter, including two sleeves (upper and lower esophageal sphincters), a midesophageal infusion port, and seven esophageal and two pharyngeal recording sites. Ten iterations of P...

INJECTION of air into the eye is considered by some authors to be useful in certain cases of detached retina (Spaeth, 1941). Where a considerable quantity of subretinal fluid has been evacuated, with consequent collapse of the globe, there are two ways in which the eye may regain its shape and tension. Either the subretinal fluid may re-form and reproduce the detachment, or aqueous may be forme...

The integration of bioventing (BV) and soil vapor extraction (SVE) appears to be an effective combination method for soil decontamination. This paper serves two main purposes: it evaluates the effects of soil water content (SWC) and air flow rate on SVE and it investigates the transition regime between BV and SVE for toluene removal from sandy soils. 96 hours after air injection, more than 97% ...

In the most application of nozzle with gas-liquid two-phase flow, the quality of mixture in exhaust of nozzle is the most important parameter as well as the flow velocity. On the other hand, in some industrial application, such as water injection in forced induction (turbocharged or supercharged) internal combustion engine the spray quality is the main goal of designing. In this case and for im...

Globally faster consumption of hydrocarbon fuel in the transport sector is posing threat to environmental and ecological imbalances and thereby depletion of hydro-carbon fuel is causing another challenge to oil reserves. In view of these issues extensive researches are being carried out to explore the alternative energy source and or to find out appropriate energy conversion system. The atmosph...

TOPIC: Imaging TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Patients with intravenous drug use are at risk for the development of air aneurysm through introduction air. In this report, we present a patient use-induced venous embolism without cerebral who had non-operative spontaneous resolution and was ultimately safely discharged home. CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-male ongoing ill...
