background: radiotherapy is one of the most important factors which results in negative effects on wound healing and increases anastomosis leakage. diverting loop ileostomy has been usually performed after colorectal anastomosis in cases of colorectal cancer with a history of neoadjuvant radiotherapy to decrease the chance of leakage. considering the side effects of diverting loop ileostomy, th...

In a companion paper, we reported that the goldfish oculomotor neural integrator could be trained to instability or leak by rotating the visual surround with a velocity proportional to +/- horizontal eye position, respectively. Here we analyze changes in the firing rate behavior of neurons in area I in the caudal brainstem, a central component of the oculomotor neural integrator. Persistent fir...

In this paper, a nominal sensor placement methodology for leak location in Water Distribution Networks is presented. To reduce the size and the complexity of the optimization problem a clustering technique is combined with the nominal sensor placement methodology. Some of the pressure sensor placement methods for leak detection and location in water distribution networks are based on the pressu...

Modified Hbs are being developed as "blood substitutes," but intravascular injection of diaspirin cross-linked Hb (DBBF-Hb) can produce venular leakage. Hb toxicity may arise from reactive oxygen species, so the antioxidant sodium selenite (Na(2)SeO(3)) was used in an attempt to reduce leak formation. In anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats, one-half of which received 2 x 10(-6) g/ml Na(2)SeO(3) in...

background stress urinary incontinence (sui), the most common type of urinary incontinence (ui), is usually defined as leakage of urine during movement or activity which puts pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing, running or heavy lifting. it is reported in most countries that 15% to 40% of women struggle with sui and its severe implications for daily life, including social intera...

In January of 1979, a railroad tank car containing the chemical acrylonitrile started leaking at a rail yard in south suburban Chicago. The chemical was manufactured by American Cyanamid Co (Cyanamid) in Louisiana. Cyanamid had leased the tank car, filled it with acrylonitrile, and delivered it to the Missouri Pacific Railroad for transport to the Chicago suburbs. The leak occurred while the ca...

Deoxygenation-induced red blood cell (RBC) sickling probably activates multiple cation leak pathways. In an attempt to model this, we examined the net passive K efflux ("K leak") from normal and sickle RBCs undergoing elliptical deformation in hypotonic media (200 mOsmol/L). This hypotonic deformation activates two deformation-dependent K leak pathways that are not detectable during the balance...

Abstract Accurate and rapid leak localization in water distribution networks is extremely important as it prevents further loss of reduces scarcity. A framework for identifying relevant event parameters such the location, leakage area, start time presented this paper. Firstly, proposed data-driven methodology consists acquiring pressure data at nodes network through hydraulic simulations by ran...

Although morphological studies suggest that coronary vascular injury is a result of prolonged ischemia and subsequent reperfusion, whether functional coronary microvascular injury develops during brief in vivo ischemia is unclear. In other organs, permeability is a sensitive indicator of functional vascular injury. Therefore, a new double-indicator method of assessing vascular protein permeabil...
