prolapsed mitral valve syndrome is a common, benign disorder with prevalence of %0.3-6 in population. this syndrome also is known as barlows syndrome and flaapy mitral valve syndrome. prolapsed mitral valve is the dropping of one or two mitral valve leaflet(s) into the left atrium during ventricular systole. this malformation leads to incomplete closing of mitral valve and regurgitates the bloo...

This case report was an attempt to present the importance of diagnostic echocardiography and closure of a patent foramen ovale in carcinoid heart disease. Herein, we present a case of a 48-year-old woman with a carcinoid metastasis presenting with tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonic stenosis, patent foramen ovale, and borderline left ventricular ejection fraction on an echocardiogram. Surgical in...

In water supply systems, One of the most important components as safety unit and the current controller (Switching flow and regulate the amount of flow) used in the arrangement of lines of water. In this study, according to multiple ponds in Tanguiyeh dam water pipeline to industrial and mining company Gol Gohar Sirjan Butterfly valve used in these ponds using Fluent software simulation has bee...

Recently, cavitation on the surface of mechanical heart valves has been studied as a cause of fractures occurring in implanted mechanical heart valves. The cause of cavitation in mechanical heart valves was investigated using the 25 mm Medtronic Hall valve and the 23 mm Omnicarbon valve. Closing of these valves in the mitral position was simulated in an electrohydraulic totally artificial heart...

Early stages of aortic valve disease involve a subtle increase in leaflet stiffness which affects valve performance seen particularly in the opening and closing of the valve. In this study, a pulse duplicator which recreates physiologic flow waveforms was used to evaluate how changes in experimental conditions such as downstream resistance and flow rate affect the opening and closing patterns o...

The hot gases produced by the internal combustion engines passes through the exhaust valve and causes high temperatures in the exhaust valve and its seat. To avoid damaging the exhaust valve, heat must be transferred from the valve to its seat during the contact they make at the opening and closing cycle. Heat transfer rate from the exhaust valve to its seat is a function of many factors. One o...

Multilayer soft lithography (MSL) provides a convenient and low-cost method for fabricating poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic devices with on-chip valves for automated and precise control of fluid flow. MSL casting molds for flow channels typically incorporate small patches of rounded positive photoresist at valve locations to achieve the rounded cross-sectional profile required for t...
