Lung collapse is a known complication that affects most of the patients undergoing positive pressure mechanical ventilation. Such atelectasis and airways closure lead to gas exchange and lung mechanics impairment and has the potential to develop an inflammatory response in the lungs. These negative effects of lung collapse can be reverted by a lung recruitment maneuver (RM) i.e. a ventilatory s...

BACKGROUND Studies aimed at investigating the influence of habitat change on species phenology. Studies that investigate people's perceptions of the phenology of certain species still area few; yet this approach is important for effective decision-making for conservation. The aim of this study was to investigate the phenology of Spondias tuberosa Arruda (Anacardiaceae), a native species of econ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of nucleolar channel systems (NCSs) by uterine region, applying continuous quantification. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. SETTING Tertiary care academic medical center. PATIENT(S) Forty-two naturally cycling women who underwent hysterectomy for benign indications. INTERVENTION(S) NCS presence was quantified by a novel method in six uterine regio...

In 1996 we reported a method for utilizing DNA and its synthetically programmable sequence recognition properties to assemble nanoparticles functionalized with oligonucleotides into preconceived architectures (Figure 1 B).[1] Since that initial report, our research group and many others have shown that this strategy[2±8] and off-shoots of it that rely on protein ± receptor and antibody ± antige...

We show that an area preserving homeomorphism of the open annu lus which has at least one periodic point must in fact have in nitely many interior periodic points

fecl3.6h2o was used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines via a one-pot five-component reaction of aromatic amines, aromatic aldehydes and β-keto esters in etoh at room temperature. the remarkable advantages offered by this method are good yields, simple procedure, short reaction times, no need to column chromatography and easy work-up. the structures o...

Laparoscopic Ultrasound (LUS) is recommended as a standard-of-care when performing laparoscopic liver resections it images sub-surface structures such tumours and major vessels. Given that LUS probes are difficult to handle some iso-echoic, registration of pre-operative CT has been proposed an image-guidance method. This problem particularly challenging due the small field view LUS, usually dep...

Abstract In the course of latest COVID-19 flu epidemic, several projects have been carried out to test LD-based strategies for helping diagnosis lung diseases. Deeper learning (DL) has proven its effectiveness in radiography. Although present study relies on CT scans, DL interpreting pulmonary ultrasound (LUS) images are being used this article. specific, we a new, completely annotated LUS data...

Nanocomposite cation exchange membranes (CEMs) were prepared by adding various amounts of functionalized silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles to the sulfonated polyethersulfone (sPES) polymeric matrix. The particles were synthesized first by the co-precipitation method (M0). Different surface modifications were then carried out on them by grafting three functional groups of mercaptopropyl, pro...

background: resistant strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem was medical treatment problem, especiallyin burnt units of hospitals. objectives: this study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of fe2o3 nanoparticles alone and functionalized with imipenem on p. aeruginosa starins producing metallo b-lactamases (mbl).materials and methods: a disk diffusion method was used to is...
