The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a ginglymoarthrodial that allows translational or sliding movement in the superior compartment and rotational hinging movements inferior compartment. articulation of both mandibular condyles with glenoid fossa temporal bone separated by cartilaginous articular disk to undergo functional involved speech mastication. Any anatomic disequilibrium TMJ can produce...

A three compartment solar formic acid generator was built using a Sn on Cu foam cathode and NiFe anode. bipolar combination of Fumasep FAD-PET-75 Nafion 117 membrane mounted between anode middle compartment, which filled with Amberlyst 15H ion exchanger beads. separated the from cathode. The powered photovoltaic panel fed gaseous CO 2 water. Diluted solution produced by flowing water through co...

In this study, a mathematical method is proposed for calculating the concentration field of air ions different polarities and dust levels in passenger compartment, taking into account geometry compartment seats, shelves, other internal elements compartment. The also takes changes rate flow ventilation, location number ionizers, sources positive dust, their intensities locations. On basis numeri...

In large-scale compartment fires; combustion product yields vary with combustion conditions mainly in relation to the fuel:air equivalence ratio (Φ) and the effects of gas-phase flame retardants. Yields of products of inefficient combustion; including the major toxic products CO; HCN and organic irritants; increase considerably as combustion changes from well-ventilated (Φ < 1) to under-ventila...

PURPOSE In this article we question a basic concept in retinal pathology, which views the retina as composed primarily of neural elements, in a single compartment. METHODS We suggest an alternative approach, centering on the epithelial-glial elements of the retina, dividing the retina into two distinct compartments. The framework of these two compartments is composed of two epithelial-like mo...

slow sand filtration (s.s.f) is a main process in the water treatment technology and generally considered as most appropriate for application in rural and small urban areas in developing countries. however, performance of the s.s.f is very sensitive to high turbidity levels. therefore, pretreatment is necessary for such waters. horizontal - flow roughing filtration (hfrf) and direct horizontal ...

Compartment syndrome is a well described limb-threatening and potentially life-threatening condition. Compartment syndromes of the upper and lower limbs are well documented in the literature. The gluteal region, however, is often not considered as a compartment despite having three osseofascial boundaries. We report a case of gluteal compartment syndrome which resulted from a bone marrow biopsy...

Compartment syndrome of the lower leg is typically viewed as a surgical emergency. Elevated pressure within a closed myofascial space impairs perfusion pressure below a level necessary for muscle viability. It is caused by bleeding or edema in a closed, non-elastic muscle compartment surrounded by fascia and bone. We report the case of a 66-year-old patient on warfarin with acute compartment sy...

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a condition in which patients experience pain with exercise that usually subsides with resting.1 CECS is defined as increased pressure within a closed fibro-osseous space that can cause reduced blood flow and tissue perfusion within that space. These changes within a confined compartment can lead to ischemic pain and damage to the tissues of tha...

Concentrations of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole in plasma, cantharidin-induced skin blister fluid and theoretical peripheral compartment were determined in twelve male subjects suffering from bacterial skin diseases after a single oral dose of 0.32 g of trimethoprim and 1.6 g of sulfamethoxazole. Maximum trimethoprim concentrations of 8.5 +/- 1.1 micromol/l in plasma, 5.6 +/- 0.8 micromol/l...
