Background & objectives: The researcher clarified that β/Globin gene cluster haplotypes in patients with sickle cell anemia provide useful population data as predictors of the disease severity, gene flow, and the origins of sickle cell mutation in this region. Materials and methods: A total of 150 subjects was investigated in two different groups for five polymorphism restriction site...

Background: Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin causing myriad of pathology including anemia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the baseline values of steady state hemoglobin and packed cell volume as a guide to managing the early recognition of hemolytic crises in sickle cell anemia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the sickle cell patients atte...

In the context of targeted improvements in energy efficiency, secondary rolling bearing contacts are gaining relevance. As such, elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHL) roller face/rib contact tapered bearings significantly affects power losses. Consequently, this contribution aimed at numerical optimization pairing’s macro-geometric parameters. The latter were sampled by a statistical design e...

BACKGROUND Although it is rare for the fracture itself to become a life threatening injury in patients suffering from rib fracture, the lives of these patients are occasionally threatened by other associated injuries. Especially, early discovery of patients with rib fracture and intra-abdominal organ injury is extremely important to the prognosis. This study analyzed the link between rib fractu...

Hemangioma of the rib is an uncommon benign vascular tumour. A case of rib hemangioma in a 29-year-old woman is presented. Chest roentgenogram and computed tomography revealed a mass along the inner surface of the 7th left rib with bone destruction. She underwent resection of the 7th rib. The pathologic diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma. Hemangiomas of the rib are rare tumours but should be ke...

Large eddy simulations were performed for the conjugate heat transfer in a ribbed channel with geometry, that mimics internal cooling passage of gas turbine, using 566, 100, 10, and 1 as solid fluid thermal conductivity ratios (K*) 30,000, 7000 (turbulent flow), 1000 (laminar flow) Reynolds numbers. A fully coupled simulation was conducted immersed boundary method (IBM) dynamic sub-grid-scale (...
