neonatal hypoglycemia is common and its prompt ‎management is important to reduce neurological sequelae. to determine the effect of two different glucose concentrations of intravenous (iv) fluid ‎therapy in the incidence of hypoglycemia in sick premature infants, 200 preterm infants ‎weighing 1500-2500 g were selected and randomly assigned into two groups. ‎group 1 received 10% dextrose in wate...

We present an effective method for simulating wall-bounded multiphase flows consisting of N (N > 2) immiscible incompressible fluids with different densities, viscosities and pairwise surface tensions. The N-phase physical formulation is based on a modified thermodynamically consistent phase field model that is more general than in a previous work, and it is developed by considering the reducti...

We study a nonlinear, moving boundary fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem between an incompressible, viscous Newtonian fluid, modeled by the 2D Navier-Stokes equations, and an elastic structure modeled by the shell or plate equations. The fluid and structure are coupled via the Navier slip boundary condition and balance of contact forces at the fluid-structure interface. The slip boundary...

Spotaneous or non-traumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is an uncommon condition and may present a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. This condition is often being misdiagnosed for allergic rhintis or chronic sinusitis since the precipitating cause is not readily apperent in most patients. The mechanism of rhinorrhea is stil not completely clarified. We describe a case of this condition occ...

polycystic ovarian syndrome is a hetrogenous condition with a broad clinical and pathologic spectrum that may reflect the effects of diverse etiologic factors. polycystic ovarian syndrome is an abnormality in the maturation of the follicles which can result in abnormal composition of follicular fluid. by analysis and comparison of the biochemical composition of human follicular fluid in normal ...
