Amoebiasis is a worldwide parasitic infection although it is more prevalent in the subtropical and tropical countries. Extraintestinal amoebic infections currently have been reported in increased numbers of male homosexuals and immunocompromised patients. Here, we present an interesting case of a 27-year-old homosexual man with pleural empyema secondary to rupture of amoebic liver abscess. Usin...

One-day-old term male newborn admitted with features of birth asphyxia. An NG tube was passed and IV fluids with parenteral antibiotics were started. Next day, the patient developed a progressive abdominal distention and bilious vomiting. A plain abdominal X-ray showed evidence of massive pneumoperitoneum. Laboratory tests were within normal limits. At operation, there was an ovoid gastric perf...

Rigid inflatable gastrostomy (RIG) tubes are widely used in contemporary clinical practice for a variety of indications. Insertion of RIG tubes is associated with a high technical success rate and low incidence of mortality. In this case report, a procedural pitfall associated with intraperitoneal-extragastric malposition is described. Rigorous assessment of abdominal radiographs, as well as aw...

Abstract Under axial compression, the present article analyses and compares behaviour of Plain Concrete filled Nano Silica modified concrete with light gauge steel rectangular columns. In 18 work samples, plain nano silica-modified was tested on sections. Investigations were conducted into several essential variables, including geometry cross-section, tubular thickness steel, depth-to-thickness...

The application of concrete is severely limited in construction cold areas. However, the local ice has functioned as a potential substitute for long time. In order to make efficient use overcome its weaknesses low strength and poor ductility, an innovative type ice-filled large rupture strain (LRS) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube column was developed. system consists external LRS FRP tubes ...

Pneumothorax pada COVID-19 memerlukan penanganan segera untuk mencegah mortalitas dan morbiditas. Pencitraan radiologi foto polos thorax CT (computed tomography) scan merupakan modalitas imaging yang sering digunakan deteksi dini beserta pneumothorax. Pemasangan chest tube menjadi pilihan pneumothorax COVID-19. Pleurodesis bulektomi alternatif tindakan pembedahan definitif refrakter atau persis...

In the past, fin-and tube heat exchanger (FTHE) pattern ratios have been largely based on ad-hoc design principles. Here, we investigate optimal arrangements for a FTHE with plain fins in marine environments represented by two different air types; one unfiltered high condensation rate and clean dry filtered conditions. The thermal-hydraulic efficiency of is measured comparing modified ratio Col...

Single-phase heat transfer and pressure drop tests were conducted in a tube with two types of twisted tapes. Each tape had exactly similar physical parameters made the same material except that each an opposite twist resulted clockwise anticlockwise flow swirl, i.e., left turn right turn, respectively. type ratio 4 5.5 on 180° twist. The tapes tested tube-in-tube exchanger having 2 m length. in...
