Lift and drag evaluation in translating and rotating non-inertial systems [PDF]
In this paper relationships have been derived for lift and drag coefficients for cylindrical bodies for two cases. The relative motion between the body and the fluid is assumed to be two-dimensional and to take place in a plane perpendicular to the axis

A metabolically stable apelin-17 analog decreases AVP-induced antidiuresis and improves hyponatremia
Apelin and AVP have opposing effects water balance in humans and rodents. Here, the authors report that a metabolically stable apelin-17 analog, by acting at the kidney level, reduces AVP-induced antidiuresis and improves hyponatremia in rodents ...

Protection of the brain against heat damage
In homeothermic animals, metabolic heat production in the brain is higher than in other tissues. However, cerebral tissue is susceptible to heat. Several animals have mechanisms that selectively cool the brain during hyperthermia (i.e., selective brain ...

Secretin and body fluid homeostasis [PDF]
Body fluid homeostasis is critical for the survival of living organisms and hence is tightly controlled. From initial studies on the effects of secretin (SCT) on renal water reabsorption in the 1940s and recent investigations of its role in cardiovascular and neuroendocrine functions, it has now become increasingly clear that this peptide is an ...

Effect of TiO2 nano-particles on corrosion behavior of Co-Cr alloy coatings in simulated body fluid [PDF]
Co-Cr and Co-Cr/nano-TiO2 coatings were electrodeposited from Cr(III) based baths. The effect of TiO2 nano-particles incorporation on the morphology, structure, crystallite size, and preferred orientation was studied.

Dynamical density functional theory: phase separation in a cavity and the influence of symmetry [PDF]
Consider a fluid composed of two species of particles, where the interparticle pair potentials $u_{11} = u_{22} \neq u_{12}$. On confining an equal number of particles from each species in a cavity, one finds that the average one body density profiles of

Estrogenic modulation of female thermoregulatory behavior in a cold environment
Thermoregulation is categorized as either autonomic (i.e., sweating, shivering) or behavioral (i.e., wearing clothes, usage of air conditioner) thermoregulation. Compared to autonomic thermoregulation, the neural pathway of behavioral thermoregulation in

Apelin, a (neuro)vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling body fluid homeostasis and cardiovascular functions. In animal models, experimental data demonstrate that intracerebroventricular injection of apelin into lactating rats inhibits ...

Dasatinib-induced nephrotic syndrome in a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia: a case report
Background Dasatinib is a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Here, we report the case of a man with nephrotic syndrome that was caused by dasatinib. Case presentation
