OBJECTIVE To examine the severity of trauma in entrapped victims and to identify risk factors for mortality and morbidity. INTRODUCTION Triage and rapid assessment of trauma severity is essential to provide the needed resources during prehospital and hospital phases and for outcome prediction. It is expected that entrapped victims will have greater severity of trauma and mortality than non-en...

[1] Interphase mass transfer in variable aperture fractures occurs in many problems where two immiscible fluids are present, such as dissolution of dense nonaqueous phase liquids into groundwater, dissolution of CO2 in deep saline aquifers, and evaporation of trapped water by flowing gas during natural gas production. Typically, one fluid is entrapped by capillary forces and resides in immobili...

BACKGROUND Why are metal nanoparticles sol-gel entrapped in ORMOSIL so active and stable? In other words, why ORMOSIL-entrapped metal nanoparticles are more active and selective than many heterogenized counterparts, including silica-entrapped noble metals? RESULTS Unveiling specific interactions between MNPs and the molecular structure of ORMOSIL, this work investigates subtle structural aspe...

a consortium of biofertilizers (azotobacter chroococcum and bacillus subtilis) was applied in conventional as well as organic matrix entrapped granular forms as sole nutrient source in two different doses for cultivation of wheat (triticum aestivum l. cv. pbw-343). a double dose of conventional biofertilizers increased the growth of wheat plants as measured on 30, 60, 90, and 120 days after sow...

Entrapment of methotrexate (MTX) plus [3',5', 9(n)-3H]methotrexate into positively charged liposomes greatly alters the subsequent distribution of [3H]MTX in a cynomologous monkey (Macaca irus) after a single i.v. injection ([3H]MTX; refers to total radioactivity derived from purified [3H]MTX). When [3H]MTX is incorporated into small, sonically disrupted liposomes, the level of the entrapped [3...

Abstract Ranging from silver‐entrapped dyes and gold‐entrapped enzymes through palladium‐entrapped graphene oxide, molecularly doped metals (or metal organic alloys, MORALs) are active, stable uniquely versatile catalysts in a number of reactions relevance to the chemical industry. Reactions successfully catalyzed by MORALs concern both industry's main sectors, producing bulk fine chemicals. Th...

We report a case of an entrapped lung after the pectus bar repair of a pectus deformity. The entrapped lung was found incidentally during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for pneumothorax. Based on VATS exploration, multiple bullae seemed to be the cause of the pneumothorax, but the entrapped lung was suspected to have been a cause of the air leakage.

Non-entrapped and liposome-entrapped Clostridium perfringens neuraminidase (0.5-0.6 unit) was injected into rats and its fate as well as its effect on plasma and erythrocyte N-acetylneuraminic acid was investigated. The following observations were made. (1) Although removal of both non-entrapped and liposome-entrapped neuraminidase from the circulation was completed within 5h after injection, t...

Objectives: to investigate classification and possible causes of dulaa disorders and effect of surgical removal on male sexual desire. Animals: Twenty six male camels (age=6-13years) with dulaa injuries were admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia. Sixteen camels showed signs of protruding, fluctuating and edematous dulaas. Other ten camels showed signs of...
