BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB, CPB-ALI) is a common and serious complication after cardiac surgery. And infants and young children are more prone to CPB-ALI. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perioperative changes of plasma gelsolin (pGSN) in patients below 3 years of age with cardiac surgeries and CPB, and determine whether pGSN are as...

Acute lung injury (ALI) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Despite improved understanding of the pathogenesis of ALI, supportive care with a lung protective strategy of mechanical ventilation remains the only treatment with a proven survival advantage. Most clinical trials in ALI have targeted mechanically ventilated patients. Past trials of pharmacolog...

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical illness syndrome with a mortality rate of 25-40%. Despite recent advances of our understanding of the pathophysiology of ALI, no pharmacologic therapies have been proven effective. The key pathogenesis of ALI is the activation of the coagulation cascade and impaired fibrinolysis, resulting in extensive fibrin and hyaline membrane deposition. Activated prote...

Every city keeps growing as a result of population growth and has an impact on space requirements. Same Banda Aceh City which continues to grow, but its development stopped due the 2004 tsunami disaster. Residential areas tend towards north or coast, is tsunami-prone zone. The purpose this study describe direction built-up area after from 2005-2011, 2011-2015, 2015-2020. data used in spatial su...

We solve the integral equation describing the propagation of light in an isothermal plane-parallel atmosphere of optical thickness τ∗, adopting a uniform thermalization parameter ǫ. The solution given by the ALI method, widely used in the field of stellar atmospheres modelling, is compared to the exact solution. Graphs are given that illustrate the accuracy of the ALI solution as a function of ...

A study of 50 sugar maples {Acer saccharum) along Gates Mills Boulevard in Gates Mills, Ohio, showed that a tree's sap-sugar concentration tended to increase with decreasing tree health and increasing soil salt concentration. Relative tree health was determined by growth ring analysis. Salt concentration in soil was determined by measuring soil extract conductivity. Extract conductivity correla...

Köyün kalkınması ve köylünün eğitimi Cumhuriyet’in ilk döneminde ciddi bir sorun olmuştur. Okur-yazar sayısının nüfusa oranla düşük olduğu Türkiye’de, o dönemde kırsal kesimde, köy enstitüleri aracılığı ile okur-yazar arttırılması planlanmıştır. Köy enstitülerine ilişkin fikirler, “Eğitmen Projesi”ne kadar uzanır. İlk eğitmen kursu, 1937 yılında Eskişehir Çifteler’de açılmıştır askerliğini onba...
