background and objectives: hydrocortisone is widely used in septic shock cases resistant to fluid and vasopressor therapy. it may result in increased blood pressure and survival. however the efficacy is no established among patients with severe burn and septic shock. accordingly it was assessed in this study. materials and methods: the patients older than 14 years of age with resistant septic s...

a b s t r a c t a 36-year-old male patient with posttraumatic cervical cord damage and resultant quadriparesis, demonstrated hypotension and periods of bradycardia. for most of his two-month stay in the intensive care unit (icu), he was dependent on dopamine support to maintain hemodynamic stability. keeping in mind evidence from the literature, that electrostimulation of acupoints neiguan (pc ...

The paper investigates the stress–strain state of a homogeneous rectangular plate after temperature shock. It is believed that first approximation solar panel model small spacecraft. To study plate, two-dimensional thermoelasticity problem posed. has static formulation, since it does not take into account dynamics plate’s natural oscillations. These oscillations affect through initial deflectio...

The choice of a foreign exchange regime hinges primarily on whether the real rate acts as shock absorber or reverberator for macroeconomic fluctuations. This policy is considered central especially prior to joining currency areas such Eurozone. We investigate Albania’s current floating contributes stability, generates volatility. Using three different structural vector autoregression techniques...

Convective radial energy flux due to resonant magnetic perturbations and magnetic curvature at the tokamak plasma edge Modification of the formation of high-Mach number electrostatic shock-like structures by the ion acoustic instability Phys. Generation of magnetic field and electrostatic shock wave driven by counterstreaming pair plasmas A pair of curved shocks in a collisionless plasma is exa...

Hemorrhagic shock following major trauma results in mortality, but the function of vascular adhesion protein‑1 (VAP‑1), implicated in intracranial hemorrhage, remains unknown. This study aimed to determine whether expression of the AOC3 gene and its encoded protein, VAP‑1, is altered by hypoxia. Rat hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (RHSECs) and rat intestinal microvascular endothelial cells...

where u = u{x,t) E R , the flux f(u) is a smooth n-vector-valued function, and the viscosity B(u) is a smooth n x n matrix. We are interested in the stability of traveling waves, the "viscous shock waves", for (1). It is shown that when the initial data are a perturbation of viscous shock waves, then the solution converges to these viscous shock waves, properly translated in space, in the unifo...

A joint model of macroeconomic and term structure dynamics is specified and estimated for the euro area. The model comprises a backward-looking Phillips curve, a dynamic aggregate demand equation, a monetary policy rule and a specification of the dynamics of trend growth and the natural real rate of interest. Given the linear dynamics of the macroeconomic state variables, bonds are priced under...

Test particle simulations are performed in order to analyze in detail the dynamics of transmitted electrons through a supercritical, strictly perpendicular, collisionless shock. In addition to adiabatic particles, two distinct nonadiabatic populations are observed surprisingly: (i) first, an over-adiabatic population characterized by an increase in the gyrating velocity higher than that expecte...

We study the link between an expanding coronal shock and the energetic particles measured near Earth during the Ground Level Enhancement (GLE) of 17 May 2012. We developed a new technique based on multipoint imaging to triangulate the 3-D expansion of the shock forming in the corona. It uses images from three vantage points by mapping the outermost extent of the coronal region perturbed by the ...
