Stability and time-delay effect of rainfall-induced landslide considering air entrapment

Geoscience Letters, 2022
The pore air pressure of the soil layer has an obstructive effect on the infiltration of the rainfall-induced landslide. Therefore, the hydraulic hysteresis caused by air entrapment in the infiltration process of the slope also reduces the anti-sliding ...

Bonfils intubation in parallel with a supraglottic air-Q® intubating laryngeal airway [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, 2015
To the Editor, This report describes a novel method for exchanging a supraglottic laryngeal airway (SLA) for an endotracheal tube (ETT) in a pediatric patient with a challenging airway. Three different methods can facilitate this exchange. The first method involves performing endotracheal intubation independently of the SLA—i.e., performing the ...

Blind intubation of anaesthetised children with supraglottic airway devices AmbuAura-i and Air-Q cannot be recommended: A randomised controlled trial.

, 2015
BACKGROUND Paediatric supraglottic airway devices AmbuAura-i and Air-Q were designed as conduits for tracheal intubation. Although fibreoptic-guided intubation has proved successful, blind intubation as a rescue technique has never been evaluated ...

The differing physiology of nitrogen and tracer gas multiple-breath washout techniques

ERJ Open Research, 2021
Background Multiple-breath washout techniques are increasingly used to assess lung function. The principal statistic obtained is the lung clearance index (LCI), but values obtained for LCI using the nitrogen (N2)-washout technique are higher than those ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Spatial analysis of overweight prevalence in China: exploring the association with air pollution

BMC Public Health, 2023
Background Overweight is a known risk factor for various chronic diseases and poses a significant threat to middle-aged and elderly adults. Previous studies have reported a strong association between overweight and air pollution.

A randomized comparison of the i-gel with the self-pressurized air-Q intubating laryngeal airway in children

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Supraglottic airway devices with noninflatable cuff have advantages in omitting the cuff pressure monitoring and reducing potential pharyngolaryngeal complications.
