Study Design Case report. Objective This case exemplifies the importance of a high index of suspicion when dealing with intractable pain and neurologic symptoms in patients with a history of cancer. Fallopian tube cancer is relatively uncommon, accounting for less than 0.2% of all female malignancies. Because of a low index of suspicion, it is often detected at an advanced stage. From an orthop...

The authors present a clinical case of coronary artery spasm in a 62-year-old woman undergoing elective aortic valve replacement surgery for aortic regurgitation. On admission at ICU, the patient developed marked hemodynamic and electrical instability. Emergent coronary angiography demonstrated a pronounced spasm of the distal portion of the right coronary artery, apparently related to compress...

We explore the equations of state and other properties of various quantum fluids (He, He, their mixtures, and H2) confined within individual carbon nanotubes. Above a threshold number of particles, Na, the fluid density near the axis begins to grow above a negligibly small value. The properties of this axial fluid phase are sensitive to the tube size and hence to the transverse compression in t...

In order to avoid the instability of composite materials laminated tube connection between layer and layer, with green basalt fiber as raw material, through reasonable design, special-shaped 3D (three-dimensional) tubular woven fabrics two different thicknesses shapes were fabricated on a semi-automatic sample loom low cost. The composites by VARTM (vacuum assisted resin transfer molding) proce...

Electromagnetic forming process is a high velocity technique which widely used in automotive and aerospace sectors for joining metallic sheet/tubes. The geometrical structure of compression coil has significant effect on the performance system terms current output deformation workpiece. present work aims to analyse structural parameters like cross-section turns (X), pitch circular diameter (PCD...

An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the turbulent flow heat transfer and to determine the pressure drop characteristics of air, flowing through a tube with insert. An insert of special geometry is used inside the tube. The test section is electrically heated, and air is allowed to flow as the working fluid through the tube by means of a blower. Air velocity, air inlet an...

Background. Local anaesthetics affect blood vessels in various ways, depending upon the site of action and the drug used. There is controversy over the vascular effects of two widely used topical local anaesthetic agents, EMLA and Ametop. We used the transient hyperaemic response (THR) to the brief compression of the brachial artery to assess vascular reactivity of forearm skin after applicatio...

A 58-year-old lady presented with persistent dysphasia, more for solids than liquids, associated with vomiting and loss of appetite since 1 month. She gave a history of insertion of Mosseau-barbin (MB) tube for chronic dysphasia 15 years ago. Barium swallow demonstrated an oesophageal stent insitu along with dilatation of the lower end of the oesophagus with stagnation of contrast and “bird-bea...

A data distribution scheme of sparse arrays on a distributed memory multicomputer, in general, is composed of three phases, data partition, data distribution, and data compression. In the data partition phase, a global sparse array is partitioned into some local sparse arrays. In the data distribution phase, these local sparse arrays are distributed to processors. In the data compression phase,...
