Abstract Aim Appropriately used, percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) can be lifesaving. We have noted an increase their use. This may due to increasing population frailty combined with delayed presentations or treatment from the COVID pandemic. sought audit use of PC in our Trust. Method Retrospective analysis prospectively collected data 2020-2022 at a large DGH comparison insertion standards (f...

in this paper, single, bi-layered and three-layered tube hydroforming processes were numerically simulated using the finite element method. it was found that the final bulges heights resulted from the models were in good agreement with the experimental results. three types of modeling were kept with the same geometry, tube material and process parameters to be compared between the obtained hydr...

purpose: to evaluate the outcomes of traumatic canalicular laceration repair using masterka silicone tube. methods: this interventional case series included 25 patients with traumatic canalicular laceration who underwent canalicular repair with masterka tube. the patients were followed at least for 6 months. at last visit, anatomic and functional successes were assessed by diagnostic probing an...

In this experiment effect of two full and half width sinusoidal inner tubes in triplex-tube heat exchanger with phase change material (PCM) was investigated. Length and diameter of the tubes have been chosen such that the area of each tube to be the same. Charging and discharging processes were carried out by inner tube, outer tube and both. Results indicated, PCM melting and solidification tim...

One of the major industry problems is the flow boiling, where reaching to the critical heat flux (CHF) condition can lead to a temperature jump and damage of the systems. In the present study, the effects of a uniform change in tube diameter on subcooled flow boiling and CHF was numerically investigated. The Euler-Euler model was used to investigate the relationship between the two liquid and v...

Tubular structural systems are one of the most common types of systems in high-rise structures. In the early days of this system, there were imperfections in its design which were overcome over time. The most important modification to rectify these defects is the use of a series of internal frames in addition to the peripheral frames and new systems in the center of the plan to eliminate design...
