A dog was presented with history of progressive generalized subcutaneous emphysema and exercise intolerance secondary to dog fight. Radiographic evaluation confirmed extensive subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum and pneumoretroperitoneum. Surgical exploration revealed cricoid cartilage longitudinal fracture and cricotracheal detachment. The fractured cartilage was sutured and the cricoid ...

in this research, the effect of bubble surface area flux, sb, and particle size on flotation rate constant, k, of pyrite (fes2) particles was studied using bubble-particle interactions. the bubble-particle collision, attachment and detachment efficiencies were calculated under different flow regimes. the k increased with increase in the collision efficiency and decrease in the detachment effici...

To identify the spatiotemporal coherent structure of compressor tip leakage flow, spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) is performed on near-tip flow field and blade surface pressure a low-speed rotor. The data used for SPOD analysis are obtained by delayed-detached eddy simulation, which validated against experimental data. investigated rotor governed two vortices (TLV), passage can ...

abstract background: transpupillary thermotherapy is a new treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization which needs further evaluation. this study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy on regression of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with or without pigment epithelial detachment in patients with age-related macular degeneration. methods: in a c...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study assessed the in vivo delivery, retrievability, short-term patency, and cellular response to a new flexible endovascular stent system in a rabbit model. The stent is designed for delivery through a microcatheter and is fully retrievable with electrolytic detachment from a delivery wire. METHODS We successfully deployed nine stents (range of sizes, 2.5-4 mm dia...

The three-dimensional structure of the kinetochore and the DNA/protein composition of the centromere-kinetochore region was investigated using two novel techniques, caffeine-induced detachment of unreplicated kinetochores and stretching of kinetochores by hypotonic and/or shear forces generated in a cytocentrifuge. Kinetochore detachment was confirmed by EM and immunostaining with CREST autoant...
