Nonfilling of the normal internal auditory canal on computed tomographic (CT) gas cisternography was observed in seven (11%) of 62 cases in a retrospective study of three series of gas cisternograms. The meatal surface of the fluid-filled canal was convex and pointed, simulating a small acoustic neuroma. A meniscus effect at the gas-cerebrospinal fluid interface was considered the probable caus...

ABSTRAcr. We consider a heat conducting incompressible micropolar fluid at rest and filling a closed rigid container. We account for the heat generated due to viscous dissipation and show that the kinetic and the thermal energy of arbitrary disturbances of the rest state decays exponentially. The rate of decay depends upon the viscosity coefficients, heat conduction coefficients and the size an...

Polymer injection in moulds with complicated shapes is common in todays industrial problems. A challenge is to optimize the mould design which leads to the most homogeneous filling. Current commercial softwares are able to simulate the process only partially. This paper proposes a preliminary study of the capability of a two-fluid LatticeBoltzmann model to provide a simple and flexible approach...

The resistance to fluid mobility in the interstitial fluid spaces has been measured between perforated catheters inserted into the subcutaneous abdominal tissues of the dog and between perforated capsules implanted in the tissues 1 month previously. When the pressures in the catheters or perforated capsules were less than atmospheric pressure, the resistance to fluid movement was almost infinit...

BACKGROUND Swift and adequate fluid loading is a cornerstone of septic shock therapy. Yet, careful assessment of volume responsiveness and volume amount during the resuscitation process is a prerequisite. Both overzealous initial fluid administration and late fluid overload are harmful and may be associated with increased mortality. MAIN BODY Static (i.e., central venous or pulmonary artery o...

The problem of studying the dynamics elements hydro-technical structures interacting with fluid is considered in article. On basis Lagrange’s variational principles, basic equations are obtained that characterize complex, multiply connected structurally non-homogeneous shell systems flowing fluid. Dynamic a cylindrical obtained. To determine pressure on surface, boundary value based laws hydroe...

BACKGROUND Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) is one of the most serious complications of modern cataract surgery. We present an alternative technique for management of DMD with a review of the literature on current strategies for the treatment of DMD. CASE PRESENTATION A 74-year-old woman developed DMD after phacoemulsification and failed the first descemetopexy with air tamponade. An alte...

Optimization of the preloading conditions and concomitant determination of endpoints of fluid administration are the most frequent therapeutic actions in critically ill patients. Besides a clinical appraisal, reproducible data should be acquired at the bedside to estimate the adequacy of fluid resuscitation. The dynamic assessment and determination of fluid responsiveness plays a major role in ...

Abstract The anisotropic elastic properties of injection molded composites are fundamentally coupled to the flow fiber suspension during mold-filling. Regarding modeling mold-filling processes, both a decoupled and flow–fiber approach possible. In latter, fiber-induced viscous anisotropy is considered in computation field. This turn influences evolution orientation compared case. study investig...
