Hybrid continuum-molecular modeling of fluid slip flow [PDF]

, 2020
Experiments on fluid systems in micro-/nano-scale solid conveyors have shown a violation of the no-slip assumption that have been adopted by the classical fluid mechanics. To correct this mechanics for the fluid slip, various approaches have been proposed to determine the slip boundary conditions.

The origin of amniotic fluid monocytes/macrophages in women with intra-amniotic inflammation or infection

Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2019
Background Monocytes, after neutrophils, are the most abundant white blood cells found in the amniotic cavity of women with intra-amniotic inflammation/infection. However, the origin of such cells has not been fully investigated. Herein, we determined (1)

Prevalence of meconium stained amniotic fluid and its associated factors among women who gave birth at term in Felege Hiwot comprehensive specialized referral hospital, North West Ethiopia: a facility based cross-sectional study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2018
BackgroundMeconium stained amniotic fluid is one of the risk factors to increase the rate of perinatal morbidity and mortality both in developed and developing countries. Due to a multitude of factors associated with socioeconomic and quality of service,

Amniotic fluid brain-specific proteins are biomarkers for spinal cord injury in experimental myelomeningocele [PDF]

, 2005
Myelomeningocele (MMC), the most severe form of spina bifida (SB), causes neurological deficit. Injury to the spinal cord is thought to begin in utero. We investigated whether brain-specific proteins (BSPs) would enable us to monitor the development of ...

Amniotic fluid interleukin-6 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin for predicting fetal inflammatory response syndrome based on histological chorioamnionitis and funisitis

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2023
Objective: We aimed to analyze the predictive efficacy of amniotic fluid interleukin-6 (IL-6) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) for fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS)-related infection.

Preterm labor is characterized by a high abundance of amniotic fluid prostaglandins in patients with intra-amniotic infection or sterile intra-amniotic inflammation

Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2019
Objective To distinguish between prostaglandin and prostamide concentrations in the amniotic fluid of women who had an episode of preterm labor with intact membranes through the utilisation of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Cellular immune responses in amniotic fluid of women with preterm labor and intraâ amniotic infection or intraâ amniotic inflammation [PDF]

, 2019
ProblemPreterm birth is commonly preceded by preterm labor, a syndrome that is causally linked to both intraâ amniotic infection and intraâ amniotic inflammation. However, the stereotypical cellular immune responses in these two clinical conditions are

On the resolvability of the dynamics of one fluid flow via a testing fluid in a two-fluids flow model [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this work, by considering an isentropic fluid-fluid interaction model with a large symmetric drag force, a commonly used simplified two-fluids flow model is justified as the asymptotic limit. Equations for each fluid component with an interaction term are identified in addition to the simplified two-fluids flow model, which can be used to resolve ...

Amniotic Fluid Glucose Concentration: A Marker for Infection in Preterm Labor and Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes [PDF]

, 1994
Amniotic fluid Gram stain and culture have been utilized as laboratory tests of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity. The Gram stain of amniotic fluid has a low sensitivity in the detection of clinical infection or ...

Development and Validation of a Rodent Model of Amniotic Fluid Exchange: A Prospective Laboratory-Based Study

Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology
Background: Significant interplay exists between the amniotic fluid and the developing fetus. However the true nature of the relationship between the amniotic fluid and the fetus, as well as the fetal membranes, is very poorly understood due to the lack ...
