Mycobacterium bovis infection after intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is rare. A 65-year-old Japanese man with history of bladder cancer and intravesical BCG therapy, presented with low-grade fever. An aneurysm with perianeurysmal fluid was suspected and endovascular aortic repair was performed. After 160 days, he developed blood-streaked sputum and computed tomography images ...

The present study investigates how working memory and fluid intelligence are related in young children and how these links develop over time. The major aim is to determine which aspect of the working memory system – short-term storage or cognitive control drives the relationship with fluid intelligence. A sample of 119 children was followed from kindergarten to second grade and completed multip...

In this paper, we use the classical Lie group method, to investigate symmetries of heat transfer flow a third-grade fluid. This approach allows one reduce coupled partial differential equations governing problem, system nonlinear ordinary equations. Point such systems are used construct some classes solutions. By using travelling wave solutions, studied influence fluid parameters on flow.

The various industrial and engineering applications of flow of fluid between parallel plates have continued to generate renewed interests. In this work, a comparative study of approximate analytical methods is carried out using differential transformation,homotopy perturbation, Adomian decomposition, variation of parameter and variational iteration methods for the analysis of a steady two-dimen...

PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of visualizing noninvasively the physiologic flow of pancreatic juice by using serial magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) with a spatially selective inversion-recovery (IR) pulse in volunteers and patients with pancreatic disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was approved by the institutional review board, and informed consent was obtained. ...

In this paper, we propose a numerical method to estimate the unknown order of a Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative for a fractional Stokes’ first problem for a heated generalized second grade fluid. The implicit numerical method is employed to solve the direct problem. For the inverse problem, we first obtain the fractional sensitivity equation by means of the digamma function, and then we...

Five consecutively admitted patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage were treated with an indwelling lumbar spinal catheter. Daily samples of cerebrospinal fluid were analyzed for erythrocyte, protein, glucose, dopamine, epinephrine, serotonin, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, tryptophan, histamine, thromboxane, 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha, prostaglandin E, and prostaglandin F2 alpha concen...

Unsteady permeable stretching sheet; Second grade fluid; Stagnation point flow; Heat transfer Abstract This article discusses the stagnation-point flow of second grade fluid over an unsteady stretching surface in the presence of variable free stream. Flow analysis has been carried out with heat transfer analysis. The resulting partial differential equations have been converted into ordinary dif...

BACKGROUND Pancreatic fistula is still one of the most serious and potential complications after D2-D3 distal and total gastrectomy (4% to 6%). Despite their importance, pancreatic fistulas still have not been uniformly defined. Amylase concentration of the drainage fluid after surgery for gastric cancer can be considered as a predictive factor of the presence of pancreatic fistula. METHODS F...
