A numerical investigation of entropy generation in laminar forced convection of gas flow over a backward facing step in a horizontal duct under bleeding condition is presented. For calculation of entropy generation from the second law of thermodynamics in a forced convection flow, the velocity and temperature distributions are primary needed. For this purpose, the three-dimensional Cartesian co...

There are no ideal means for the diagnosis of intestinal bleeding diseases as of now, particularly in the small intestine. This study investigated an intelligent intestinal bleeding detection capsule system based on color recognition. After the capsule is swallowed, the bleeding detection module (containing a color-sensitive adsorptive film that changes color when absorbing intestinal juice,) i...

inhibitor development is a lifelong challenge for patients with bleeding disorders who received replacement therapy. most commonly, inhibitor formation was observed in hemophilia a patients but patients with rare bleeding disorders (rbd) especially patients with deficiency of factor xiii (fxiii) and factor v (fv) can develop an inhibitor against exogenous factors. several factors considered as ...

background and objective: to assess the incidence and risk factors of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in children admitted to pediatric intensive care unit for more than 6 hrs. methods: we prospectively collected medical records of children between 1 month and 18 years old admit-ted to our 10 bed picu of a tertiary care university hospital between december 1, 2014 and may 30, 2015. de-mographic...

Factor XIII or "fibrin-stabilizing factor," is a transglutaminase circulates in the blood circulation as a hetero tetramer with two catalytic A subunits and two carrier B subunits. This important coagulation factor has a crucial role in clotting cascade and produces strong covalent bonds between soluble formed fibrin monomers during coagulation. This stable cross linked fibrin strands are resis...

OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY Background Definition and Nomenclature Abnormal uterine bleeding associated with ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O) (ie, oligo-ovulation or anovulation) is a spectrum of disorders most commonly associated with heavy, irregular uterine bleeding. Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) occurs in the setting of ovulatory dysfunction because of the effects of chronic unopposed estrogen o...

background dysfunctional uterine bleeding (dub) is the most common gynecologic disorder in women of reproductive age. medical treatments are often ineffective. endometrial ablation is an alternative to hysterectomy for these women. objective to evaluate the response to treatment rate of the cavaterm tm plus technique for management of menorrhagia secondary to dysfunctional uterine bleeding (dub...

BACKGROUND Periprocedural bleeding events are common after percutaneous coronary intervention. We evaluated the association of periprocedural bleeding events with thrombogenicity, which was measured quantitatively by the Total Thrombus-formation Analysis System equipped with microchips and thrombogenic surfaces (collagen, platelet chip [PL]; collagen plus tissue factor, atheroma chip [AR]). M...
