The watering of tall trees - Embolization and recovery [PDF]
, 2015 We can propound a thermo-mechanical understanding of the ascent of sap to the top of tall trees thanks to a comparison between experiments associated with the cohesion-tension theory and the disjoining pressure concept for liquid thin-films.

Cerebral air embolism treated with endovascular flow reversal and suction aspiration
Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2017 Cerebral air embolism is a rare but potentially devastating complication of endovascular intervention. The treatment for cerebral air embolism is often limited to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, anticonvulsants, high-flow oxygen, and a wait-and-see approach ...

International Journal of Surgery, 2009 Endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a common medical examination. One of the rare but serious, albeit fatal complications of gastroscopy is venous air embolism. We performed a literature search with the keywords "air embolism", "gastroscopy", and "endoscopy". There were 14 cases of air embolism associated with gastroscopy. The median

Xylem surfactants introduce a new element to the cohesion-tension theory [PDF]
, 2016 Vascular plants transport water under negative pressure without constantly creating gas bubbles that would disable their hydraulic systems. Attempts to replicate this feat in artificial systems almost invariably result in bubble formation, except under ...
