Background: Weaning from mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit is an important step in the treatment process. More patients in less than 6 hours after cardiac surgery can be separated from mechanical ventilation and extubated. However, 20-40% of patients after cardiac surgery, due to dysfunctional ventilator weaning response (DVWR), still remain under mechanical ventilation. Therefo...

physicochemical and mechanical properties of wheat grains can have a great impact on the quality of the final products (bread). therefore, correct selection of wheat cultivar for specific applications seems to be crucial. in this study, the differences in the physicochemical and mechanical properties (under compression and impact loadings) of ten iranian wheat cultivars (azar2, alamut, bam, bah...

tendon never restores the complete biological and mechanical properties after healing. bone marrow and recently adipose tissue have been used as the sources of mesenchymal stem cells, which have been proven to enhance tendon healing. stromal vascular fraction (svf), derived from adipose tissue by an enzymatic digestion, represents an alternative source of multipotent cells, which undergo differ...

background: cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with increased fluid accumulation around the heart which influences pulmonary and cardiac diastolic function. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of modified ultrafiltration (muf) versus conventional ultrafiltration (cuf) on duration of mechanical ventilation and hemodynamic status in children undergoing congenital heart surgery.mate...

In this paper static and dynamic responses of a fixed-fixed microbeam to electrostatic force and mechanical shock for different cases have been studied. The governing equations whose solution holds the answer to all our questions about the mechanical behavior is the nonlinear elasto-electrostatic equations. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the derived equations analytical solution are ...

rice is the world's most important food crop. to decrease the damage of  rice pests, development of insect pest management strategies in rice is necessary. biennial results for determination of a suitable method to control striped stem borer in rice showed that integration of two methods of control (biological and mechanical) is a feasible effort to reduce stem borer infestation. to assure...
