.hot metal gas forming of tubes can be used in various industries such as automotive and aerospace industries. in this process tube is formed at elevated temperatures, by using gas instead of fluid pressure. lower required pressure and low power are its advantages in comparison to hydroforming process. in this paper, a hot metal gas bulging process of an aluminum alloy tube has been investigate...

a-56-year-old woman underwent carpal tunnel release surgery under general anesthesia. thirty minutes after extubation, the patient complained of chest discomfort with dyspnea. swelling of the neck and upper anterior chest was observed. computed tomography of the chest showed tracheal rupture at the brachiocephalic trunk level, and bronchoscopy demonstrated a 5 cm linear tracheal defect in the p...

chronic otitis media is a common disease which can lead to serious complications or even death. betterment of eustachian tube function is effective on results of operations. the main goal of this study was to determine the effect of eustachian tube function on outcome of graft in tympanoplasty or tympanomastoidectomy for chronic otitis media. we prospectively studied 126 patients who underwent ...

background and objective: the fallopian tube plays an essential role in tubal transportof both gametes and embryos and successful pregnancy. we assessed the histomorphological effect of smoking on the fallopian tubes in rats, in this study. patients and methods: twelve female rats were divided to two groups as subjects (n=7) and controls (n=5). they have been exposed to smoke four times daily f...

background & importance: iniencephaly is a rare cranio-cervical deformity. it belongs to neural tube defects. this disorder is characterized by a retroflexion of head, a very short neck, varying degrees of incomplete posterior closure of vertebrae and cervical and thoracic spinal synostosis. this malformation is associated with central nervous system and systemic malformations. most of patients...

background and objectives: nosocomial infections are one of the most important worldwide health and increased patients hospital stay, therapeutic problem and mortality rate. this study was designed to determine the frequency of microorganisms isolated from tracheal tube in patients admitted to icu shaheed mostafa khomeini hospital tehran, iran, from 2001-2005. patients and methods: in this cros...

Distortion and deformation of tubes during machining operations are very important. In this study, a tube used in magnetic drum separator under concentrated load (machining load) is considered. Using finite element simulation, deformities and their dependence on parameters such as the thickness of the tube and the place of concentrated force are observed and predicted. To compare and confirm th...
