OBJECTIVE A significant metabolic derangement occurs in the ischaemic-reperfused heart of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery using cold blood cardioplegia. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether this effect could be reversed by complementing cold blood cardioplegia with a short terminal exposure of warm blood hyperkalaemic cardioplegia ('hot shot'). METHODS Th...

INTRODUCTION Traditionally cold biopsy forceps were used for endobronchial biopsy, and recently electrocautery (hot) bronchoscopy biopsy forceps are introduced. It is hypothesized that hot biopsy forceps may decrease procedure related bleeding and also may decrease the quality of obtained samples. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with different indications for endobronchial biopsy during fiberop...

Introduction: It has been observed in our society that the theory of hot and cold practiced by almost all section of the society. It is necessary t the community from time to time. Objectives: To know the prevalence of perception of hot or cold food items and their impact on t health status of the community. Material and methods: It was a cross sectional study done between the time period of Ma...

In this paper, a rigorous MILP formulation for grass-root design of heat exchanger networks is developed. The methodology does not rely on traditional supertargeting followed by network design steps typical of the Pinch Design Method, nor is a non-linear model based on superstructures, but rather gives cost-optimal solutions in one step. Unlike most models, it considers splitting, non-isotherma...

Building on our earlier work and that of Son, we construct string theory duals of nonrelativistic critical phenomena at finite temperature and density. Concretely, we find black hole solutions of type IIB supergravity whose asymptotic geometries realize the Schrödinger group as isometries. We then identify the non-relativistic conformal field theories to which they are dual. We analyze the ther...
