Thermochemical Micro‐Explosion for Prompt Thrombolysis via Proximal Injection of Liquid Alkali Metal
We report a micro‐explosive thermochemical thrombolysis (METCT) therapy via injectable liquid alkali metal encapsulated in dimethyl silicone (LAM@oil). METCT enables prompt and safe vascular recanalization within 90 s. Critically, the LAM@oil system demonstrates significantly higher thrombolytic efficacy compared to clinically available thrombolytic ...

Surface mechanics design by cavitation peening
Although impacts at cavitation bubble collapses cause severe damage in hydraulic machineries, the cavitation impacts can be utilised for surface mechanics design such as introduction of compressive residual stress and/or improvement of fatigue strength ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Cavitation induction by projectile impacting on a water jet [PDF]
The present paper focuses on the simulation of the high-velocity impact of a projectile impacting on a water-jet, causing the onset, development and collapse of cavitation. The simulation of the fluid motion is carried out using an explicit, compressible, density-based solver developed by the authors using the OpenFOAM library.

Caries Café: A Method for Consolidating and Co‐Constructing Knowledge of Caries
ABSTRACT Introduction Dental caries is multifaceted and requires dental undergraduates to receive training in underlying science, risk factors, disease prevention, and treatment. Caries content features at many different points in a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) programme, making it a large task to consolidate and assimilate in clinical practice ...

Study of unsteady cavitation on NACA66 hydrofoil using dynamic cubic nonlinear subgrid-scale model
In this article, we describe the use of a new dynamic cubic nonlinear model, a new nonlinear subgrid-scale model, for simulating the cavitating flow around an NACA66 series hydrofoil. For comparison, the dynamic Smagorinsky model is also used.

Analysis of the Formation Mechanism of Secondary Tip Leakage Vortex (S-TLV) in an Axial Flow Pump
Studies on the tip leakage vortex (TLV) are extensive, while studies on the secondary tip leakage vortex (S-TLV) are rare. To advance the understanding of the formation mechanism of the S-TLV, turbulent cavitating flows were numerically investigated ...

Study and analysis of the cavitating and non-cavitating jets - Part one: Parameters controlling force, power and the jet behavior [PDF]
This paper presents the dependency of the jet power and the cavitation intensity on the working conditions of the cavitating and non-cavitating jet flow. This dependency is indicated by the cavitation erosion process and flow structure. The effects of working conditions on the cavitation erosion were experimentally investigated.

Infective Endocarditis Diagnosed by Emergency Physicians Using Cardiac POCUS: A Case Series
ABSTRACT Introduction Emergency physicians (EPs) are acquiring ever‐increasing expertise in cardiac point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS). We compiled this case series to demonstrate current practice by EPs diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) using POCUS.
