Tension pneumoperitoneum caused by rupture of intraabdominal soft tissue emphysema in a child supported with high-frequency oscillatory ventilation: a case report

Abstract Background We reported a case with tension pneumoperitoneum while being on high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.Case presentation A 12-month-old Thai girl presented with acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, and bacterial pneumonia.Although supported with mechanical ventilation, she still had severe hypoxia.She was then tran

Finite element analysis of annuloplasty and papillary muscle relocation on a patient-specific mitral regurgitation model.

ObjectivesFunctional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a significant complication of left ventricle (LV) dysfunction associated with poor prognosis and commonly treated by undersized ring annuloplasty.This study aimed to quantitatively simulate the treatment outcomes and mitral valve (MV) biomechanics following ring hermit crab ornaments annulopalsty a

Apparent molar volume anomaly in water-dimethyl sulfoxide liquid mixtures. Molecular dynamics computer simulations

We have studied the composition dependence of density of liquid water-DMSO mixtures at different temperatures by using the isobaric-isothermal (NPT) molecular dynamics computer simulations.The non-polarizable semi-flexible, chromatic ire d2 P1 and P2 models for the DMSO molecule combined with the TIP4P-2005 water model are considered.The excess mix
