Crocodilians use a combination of three muscular mechanisms to effect lung ventilation: the intercostal muscles producing thoracic movement, the abdominal muscles producing pelvic rotation and gastralial translation, and the diaphragmaticus muscle producing visceral displacement. Earlier studies suggested that the diaphragmaticus is a primary muscle of inspiration in crocodilians, but direct me...

Abstract Under replacement ventilation conditions, a simplified physical model of tall space (livestock house) was established using ProSim software, and the relevant boundary conditions were set. The airflow size direction distribution under different air supply exhaust obtained by slicing, simulation results showed that appropriately increasing helps to increase pollutant emission rate so pol...

Tides near and under floating glacial ice, such as ice shelves and glacier termini in fjords, can influence heat transport into the subice cavity, mixing of the under-ice water column, and the calving and subsequent drift of icebergs. Freesurface displacement patterns associated with ocean variability below glacial ice can be observed by differencing two synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interfero...

This is a case report of microwave energy being used to ablate an inoperable metastasis of a Wilms' tumour in a 6-year-old boy using state-of-the-art navigated computed tomography targeting and high-frequency jet ventilation to reduce organ displacement and the potential risk of procedure-related pneumothorax. After the ablation, the young boy had high-dose chemotherapy followed by an autologou...

Introduction Proportional Assist Ventillation (PAV) is a patient and user friendly mode of spontaneous mechanical ventilation which uses dynamic feedback of respiratory parameters to support the effort and assess the consequent workload overcomed by the patient ́s respiratory muscles to which diaphragm contributes the most. The relationship of Pmus [1] (respiratory muscle pressure) and diaphragm...
