Liquid-liquid displacement in slippery liquid-infused membranes (SLIMs) [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Liquid-infused membranes inspired by slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have been recently introduced to membrane technology. The gating mechanism of these membranes is expected to give rise to anti-fouling properties and multi-phase transport capabilities.

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose is associated with lowering of plasma phosphate levels in patients with gastric bypass surgery: a retrospective case series

Swiss Medical Weekly
AIMS: Bariatric surgery induces several micronutrient deficiencies that require supplementation. For iron, parenteral infusions are usually preferred over oral supplementation.

The effect of early versus late lipid infusion in parenteral nutrition on the biochemical and cortical auditory evoked potential parameters in preterm neonates

Egyptian Pediatric Association Gazette, 2019
Background As brain activity depends greatly on the functions provided by lipid membranes, dietary fat in early life can affect the developing nervous system.

Can primary palliative care education change life-sustaining treatment intensity of older adults at the end of life? A retrospective study

BMC Palliative Care, 2021
Background Palliative care education has been carried out in some hospitals and palliative care has gradually developed in mainland China. However, the clinical research is sparse and whether primary palliative care education influence treatment ...

Ketogenic diet therapy for the treatment of pediatric epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract In 1921, the classic ketogenic diet was created at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota to treat epilepsy in children and adults. Over a century later, it is a widely used, standard‐of‐care therapy for typically treatment‐resistant epilepsy worldwide.

Apparent Contact Angle and Contact Angle Hysteresis on Liquid Infused Surfaces [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
We theoretically investigate the apparent contact angle and contact angle hysteresis of a droplet placed on a liquid infused surface. We show that the apparent contact angle is not uniquely defined by material parameters, but also has a strong dependence on the relative size between the droplet and its surrounding wetting ridge formed by the infusing ...

Factors Controlling the Pinning Force of Liquid Droplets on Liquid Infused Surfaces [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Liquid infused surfaces with partially wetting lubricants have recently been exploited for numerous intriguing applications, such as for droplet manipulation, droplet collection and spontaneous motion. When partially wetting lubricants are used, the pinning force is a key factor that can strongly affect droplet mobility.

Abdominal wound dehiscence after appendectomy during pregnancy treated by negative pressure wound therapy with subsequent vaginal delivery: A case report and literature review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a very effective method in the treatment of dehiscent, infected, and non‐healing wounds. Difficult wound healing occurs especially in late pregnancy due to the rapid enlargement of the uterus and the constantly increasing tension of the entire abdominal wall.
