Five patients are described who had retrosternal pains following the consumption of CetiprinR tablets. The pains increased so markedly within a few days that, initially, solid foods and, subsequently liquid foods also were impossible to swallow. Typically the history was of the comsumption of a tablet in the evening or night without fluids and the pains lasted 2--3 weeks. A marked corrosive inj...

Existing theories describe corrosive wear in crosshead diesel engines in terms of acid condensation, when the temperature in the combustion space drops below the dew point. Here a theory is proposed which stresses the role of alkaline cylinder lubricants in protecting the metal surface. Calculated liner wear rates as a function of fuel sulphur content, feed rate and alkalinity of the oil, and a...

We commonly encounter patients in the emergency department who present after a suicide attempt. The methods can vary and unique challenges depending on nature of an unsuccessful attempt via chemical ingestion that led to severe complications involving drain cleaner with both highly corrosive caustic properties. management presentation are discussed great detail further investigate best treatmen...

Suicides are divided into simple and complex, the complex one referring to suicide by a combination of more than one method. In general, unplanned complex suicides occur where several different methods are used consecutively because the first method has not achieved the desired effect. In this study, we present a unique unplanned complex suicide case where corrosive ingestion and stabbing were ...

Among the many potential applications of graphene and graphene-based materials, their use as protective films or additives in coatings for corrosion protection has seen an increased level interest last decade. Much this is motivated by need to implement additional functionalities, enhance anti-corrosion performance ultimately extend service life metallic structures. Pristine films, with imperme...

Corrosive Sulfur in transformer oil has been the cause of high profile transformer failures in recent years. Oil treatments consisting of copper passivators have been only partially effective. DSI has discovered a multi-step method that has been proven to change oils with corrosive sulfur into non-corrosive status, as well as significantly slowing oxidation and ageing of insulating oil and pape...

Abstract Invar alloys are used for high‐precision applications due to their invariance of the coefficient thermal expansion over a temperature range up about 250 °C. The present study determines mechanical and corrosive properties 36 (64 % Iron – Nickel) specimens produced by laser powder bed fusion. Tensile were fabricated investigate properties. influence horizontal vertical building orientat...

OBJECTIVE The authors reported the feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic approach for resection of the esophagus in two patients with diffuse corrosive esophageal stricture. BACKGROUND The unrelenting corrosive strictures of esophagus merit esophageal substitution. Because of the risk of complications in the retained esophagus, such as malignancy, mucocele, gastroesophageal reflux, and blee...
