• This work presents a slim-floor configuration which increases its fire protection. new beam is called “Internally Fire Protected Slim-Floor Beam”. The IFP-SFB based on strategy that does not need maintenance. results in up to 30–60 min of additional resistance. composite concrete-steel fully integrated into the floor depth was developed at beginning 1990s. very good behaviour during event bec...

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP), or abdominal cocoon syndrome is a rare condition of unknown etiology in which intestinal obstruction results from encasement variable lengths bowel by dense fibrocollagenous membrane. It difficult to diagnose and the prognosis poor. We report case SEP after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) that was required surgical treatment. A 57-year-old m...

Abstract Background Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury carries significant morbidity. Microsurgical repair of the RLN has proven promising for enhancing patient recovery vocal function; however, data remains limited. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent from 2007 to 2022. Demographics and medical history were collected. The location etiology injury, as wel...

The main objective of this study was to numerically assess the effect of boundary elements with different types of steel and concrete materials on nonlinear behavior of composite steel–reinforced concrete wall (CSRCW) by employing ABAQUS software. Two types of common steel profiles including box and I-shaped sections, located at the middle and extremities of the wall, were employed to assess th...

Abdominal cocoon syndrome (ACS) is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction characterized by partial or complete encasement loops in thick fibro-collagenous sac. It poses diagnostic difficulties due to the non-specific nature its presentation and thus most cases, diagnosed incidentally at laparotomy.The researchers present case 27-year old female Ugandan who presented rural hospital Northern Uga...

Purpose: We aim to assess resectability in patients with locally advanced oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas induction chemotherapy (ICT). Methods: All stage III-IVB carcinoma borderline resectable (suspected R1) or unresectable disease (stage IVB, except internal carotid artery encasement pterygoid plate skull base involvement) recruited between January 2020 and August 2021 at a tertiary car...

Because of the smaller confinement neighbouring soil in very weak soils, carrying capacity stone columns may not substantially increase. Geosynthetics can be used to reinforce by employing vertical encasement or horizontal layers. In present study, large-scale laboratory investigations were carried out evaluate efficacy and layering geosynthetics on performance behaviour soft clay. A series tes...

BACKGROUND Mattress and pillow encasings are recommended for patients allergic to dust mites. Many encasements block allergen and are vapor permeable but do not allow free passage of air through the material. Recently, breathable fabrics made from tightly woven synthetic fibers or nonwoven synthetics have been recommend as encasements. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develop a meth...
