general concept and major emphasis on off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (opcab) is maintaining quality of care and patient safety while reducing cost and resource utilization. opcab probably avoids the potential complications of cardiopulmonary bypass. however its acceptance depends on clinical and economic outcome. the aim of this study is to compare clinical and economic outcome of off-...

Introduction: Coronary artery bypass grafting is a surgical operation that bypasses atherosclerotic coronary vessels and restores blood flow to the ischemic zone of hearts. And two different conventional methods are ON-pump CABG, and Off-pump CABG.  Altogether, the efficacy and safety of these two types of surgical procedures are still under debate. In this study, we aim to com...

the present study was undertaken to compare the in hospital results of coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) with (on pump) or without (off pump) cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb). data were collected on all first-time isolated cabgs with saphenous vein and/or artery grafts at shahid madani hospital in tabriz-iran, between 2006 and 2009. age and clinical profile were marched between on pump and off pu...

background: it is well documented that coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) with cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) causes ischemia and oxidative stress of the whole body. to compare the effect of on – pump and off –pump cabg on the induction of the oxidative stress and the metabolism of homocysteine which is involved in the synthesis of glutathione was investigated in the cabg patients during the ...

conclusions intraperitoneal migration of a subfascially placed baclofen pump is a rare, yet serious complication, which has been reported only once in the literature. we advise neurosurgeons to have a low level of threshold in confirming the location of a baclofen pump with imaging and surgical exploration if necessary in order to avoid detrimental outcomes such as bowel perforation. case prese...

The use of pumps linked in parallel or series in large scale pipe systems is usually inevitable, to meet the required head and discharge. Transient flow occurs following a pump failure in a pump group as a result of variations in the flow rate. This research is an investigation about waterhammer caused by one or more pump-switch off in a pump group when they are connected in parallel. The opera...

cardiovascular disease is the leading reason of morbidity in older people. coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery is the most common type of operations in world. this study was designed to characterize comparison of early clinical outcome following on pump vs. off pump in patients over 70 years old with triple vessels disease and severe left ventricle dysfunction. 80 patients were divided ...

INTRODUCTION- Cardiovascular disease has emerged as a major health burden worldwide with coronary artery disease [CAD] causing highest mortality and morbidity. Coronary revascularization is the preferred treatment for patients with multivessel CAD. Based on the application of cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB], Coronary revascularization can be on-pump [OPCAB] or off-pump [CABG].The CPB is known to h...

In this article, the impact of input pump profile on the gain spectrum as well as the saturation behavior of one-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) is investigated. Since in practical circumstances, pump sources used for FOPAs have Lorentz-Gaussian profile instead of Gaussian, a more realistic case is considered for simulating FOPAs in this article. The results of simulations for ...

Oil pump in diesel engine has significant effect on energy consumption and environment pollution. In this paper, the modeling and simulation of a gear oil pump used in a diesel engine and its fluid flow analysis by a solver has been explained. Also the optimization and redesign of it has been discussed and then the outcomes have been compared with the experimental and previous results. The t...
