Comparative Study between Three Analgesic Agents for the Pain Management during Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy

Urology Journal, 2013
Purpose: To compare the clinical efficacy between locally applied diclofenac diethylamine gel,EMLA cream and systemically given diclofenac sodium for the pain relief during extracorporealshock wave lithotripsy (SWL) using Dornier Delta Compact ...

Timing is everything: The effect of early‐life seizures on developing neuronal circuits subserving spatial memory

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Spatial memory, the aspect of memory involving encoding and retrieval of information regarding one's environment and spatial orientation, is a complex biological function incorporating multiple neuronal networks. Hippocampus‐dependent spatial memory is not innate and emerges during development in both humans and rodents.

Numerical Simulations of 5‐Story Building Using Wood Light‐Frame Shear Walls and Post‐Tensioned Cross‐Laminated Timber Rocking Wall Dual Systems

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

A Three‐Parameter Continuum Timoshenko Beam Framework for Evaluating Higher‐Mode Effects in High‐Rise Buildings With Rotational and Translational Base Flexibility

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Higher‐mode effects can significantly amplify seismic demands in high‐rise buildings, causing unintended damage over the building height. Engineered mechanisms are introduced at the base of these structures to mitigate higher‐mode effects. Existing continuum formulations for base‐flexible buildings commonly idealize the superstructure as a ...

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy as monotherapy for vesical calculi

African Journal of Urology
Background Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a well-established non-surgical treatment of urolithiasis. ESWL as a monotherapy to treat vesical calculi is still unfamiliar among many urologists, despite its early introduction in the 1990’s ...

Low-energy shock wave for enhancing recruitment of endothelial progenitor cells: a new modality to increase efficacy of cell therapy in chronic hind limb ischemia [PDF]

, 2006
Background— Stem and progenitor cell therapy is a novel approach to improve neovascularization and function of ischemic tissue. Enhanced tissue expression of chemoattractant factors such as stromal cell–derived factor 1 and vascular endothelial growth ...

A Practical Formulation for Seismic Damage Accumulation on Multiple Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences Based on Disaggregation of the Mainshock Hazard

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Earthquakes often occur in clusters (foreshocks, mainshocks, and aftershocks) and can lead to cumulative structural damage. Many studies have extended traditional performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) to account for damage accumulation in multiple mainshock‐aftershock (MS‐AS) sequences using Markov chain processes and state‐dependent

A Reduced‐Order Model for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Suspended Piping Systems in Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among non‐structural elements, suspended piping systems are critical to building functionality, enabling water circulation, waste disposal and fire suppression. Their seismic damage can lead to prolonged downtime, internal flooding and substantial direct and indirect economic losses.

Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.

A Comprehensive Review of Fault‐Current Limiter Technologies for Smart and Resilient Power Systems

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This review compares superconducting, solid‐state, and hybrid fault‐current limiters (FCLs) for modern alternating current, direct current, and hybrid grids. It shows that optimal FCL selection depends on fault characteristics, network configuration, voltage level, protection coordination, and resilience requirements rather than on a universally ...
