Following the discovery of X-ray absorption in a high velocity outflow from the bright quasar PG1211+143 we have searched for similar features in XMM-Newton archival data of a second (high accretion rate) quasar PG0844+349. Evidence is found for several faint absorption lines in both the EPIC and RGS spectra, whose most likely identification with resonance transitions in H-like Fe, S, and Ne im...

We predict the evolution of giant clumps undergoing star-driven outflows in high-z gravitationally unstable disc galaxies. We find that the mass-loss is expected to occur through a steady wind over many tens of free-fall times (tff ∼ 10 Myr) rather than by an explosive disruption in one or a few tff. Our analysis is based on the finding from simulations that radiation trapping is negligible bec...

A 72-year-old patient reported a sudden development of poor outflow from his Tenckhoff catheter; he had been performing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for 3 years because of diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive nephrosclerosis. There was a slow outflow rate, and the effluent volume was only 400e600 mL after an instillation of 2 L of dialysate; the inflow rate was variable. He report...

In some lymph nodes, water and water-soluble substances of smaller molecular weight are known to be absorbed into blood vessels, and consequently the protein concentration of lymph within the nodes increases. In this study, we examined pressure-flow relationships of lymph nodes in situ and exchange properties of water and water-soluble substances through the nodes with special reference to infl...

Three cannulated Tswana steers were used to investigate the rumen degradability of mopane worm (Imbrasia belina) by measuring the amount of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearing at incubation periods up to 72 h. The effective degradability (ED) of DM and CP in the rumen was calculated at outflow rates of 0.03 / h (ED0.03) and 0.05 / h(ED0.05). Rumen degradable CP (RDP) was estimat...

Purpose This study was designed to evaluate the changes in aqueous humor dynamics (AHD) produced by selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and to explore if baseline AHD parameters are predictive of IOP response to SLT. Methods Thirty-one consecutive subjects diagnosed with ocular hypertension or primary open-angle glaucoma scheduled to undergo SLT as their primary IOP-lowering therapy were en...

conclusions the right ventricular outflow tract palliation in children with cyanotic chd leads to long-term favorable outcome regarding improvement in oxygen saturation, increase in z score of both left and right pulmonary arteries and also considerable decrease in spell. also, death and complications are rare following rvot palliation. background the right ventricular outflow tract (rvot) pall...

Ionospheric escape from Mars is an important process for the erosion of Martian atmosphere. The heavy ion outflow dominated by and O+, however, ionosphere consists many more species. In dayside below roughly 220 km altitude, second most dominant ion, higher up in nightside other ions species with a mass near but that (28–30 Atomic Mass Unit [AMU], e.g., CO+, , HCO+, NO+, etc.) gain importance. ...

The effect of blood pressure on pulse wave velocity (PWV) is well established. However, PWV variability with acute hemodynamic changes has not been examined in the clinical setting. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of hemodynamic changes on PWV in patients who undergo cardiothoracic surgery. Using data from 25 patients, we determined blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR)...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) poses many unique challenges regarding the conduct of anesthesia and surgery. Adequate preload, control of sympathetic stimulation, heart rate, and increased afterload are required to decrease the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Comprehensive intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination confirms the diagnosis, elucidates the pat...
