Centrifugal pumps are widely used in the oil and mining industries. In contrast to water pumps, centrifugal industries for transportation of drilling fluid, which is typically non-Newtonian fluid. Drilling fluids usually modeled as power-law with varying shear viscosity imposed rates. this paper, a numerical simulation fluid flow pump was simulated, only flow-rate magnitude, using comparison. T...

statement of problem: tongue thrust and/or its consequent swallowing pattern are amongst the parafunctional habits that have always been considered as etiological factors for dental disorders by different investigators. purpose: the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of tongue thrusting and the incidence of periodontal disorders associated with this habit among patients referre...

Background and aim: Geographic tongue is a recurrent disorder with several associated etiologies. It is believed to be a common occurrence in the patients suffering from recurrent, acute inflammatory diseases. The purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence of geographic tongue between asthmatic patients and healthy subjects. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was...

  Tongue base lesions have a diverse and extensive etiology. One of the benign tongue base lesions is schwannoma. Schwannoma and neurofibroma are two tumors of the peripheral nerves originating in the nerve sheaths. Schwannoma account for just over 1% of benign tumors which have been reported in the ora...

Introduction: Among different kinds of oral cavity cancers, the frequency of tongue cancer occurrence is more significant. Brachytherapy is the most common method to cure tongue cancers. Long sources are used in different techniques of tongue brachytherapy. The objective of this study is to asses the dose distribution around long sources, comparing different radioisotopes as brachytherapy sourc...

tongue base lesions have a diverse and extensive etiology. one of the benign tongue base lesions is schwannoma. schwannoma and neurofibroma are two tumors of the peripheral nerves originating in the nerve sheaths. schwannoma account for just over 1% of benign tumors which have been reported in the oral cavity and base of the tongue and with regard to its involved area in the oral cavity is very...

introduction: 90% of the tumors in the head and neck are squamous-cell carcinomas (hnscc), which have overall 5- year survival rate between 50% -60%. cd44 has been shown to be associated with the prognosis.  materials and methods: biopsy specimens of 51 patients with oral tongue scc were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (ihc) for the cd44 antibody.  results: there was no significant correlatio...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the light and electron microscopic structure of the tongue in white-eared bulbul (pycnonotus leucotis). six adult white-eared bulbul (3 males and 3 females) in shahrekord district were used in the investigation. samples of the apex, body and root of the tongue were prepared routinely for light and electron microscopic study. results showed that th...
