Passive Leg Raise Stress Echocardiography in Severe Paradoxical Low-Flow, Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Dobutamine stress echocardiography is used to increase transvalvular flow in patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (AS). Dobutamine fails to increase the stroke volume index (SVI) in one third of patients.

Low temperature flow lithography [PDF]
Flow lithography (FL) is a microfluidic technique distinguished for its ability to produce hydrogel microparticles of various geometrical and chemical designs. While FL is typically performed in room temperature, this paper reports a new technique called low temperature flow lithography that uses low synthesis temperature to increase the degree of ...

Change of inspired oxygen concentration in low flow anesthesia [PDF]
Background There are several advantages of low flow anesthesia including safety, economics, and eco-friendliness. However, oxygen concentration of fresh gas flow and inspired gas are large different in low flow anesthesia.

Flow Continuity of Infusion Systems at Low Flow Rates [PDF]
Infusion of fluids and drugs at very low rates may be necessary in neonatal intensive care. Marked haemodynamic fluctuations occurring during the infusion of inotropes have been shown to be due to the sticking of the plunger in the barrel of syringes used in syringe drivers.

Increasing Alaskan river discharge during the cold season is driven by recent warming
Arctic hydrology is experiencing rapid changes including earlier snow melt, permafrost degradation, increasing active layer depth, and reduced river ice, all of which are expected to lead to changes in stream flow regimes. Recently, long-term (>60 years)

Turbulent structures, integral length scale and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation rate in compound channel flow [PDF]
In the present study, high data rate measurements were obtained for the streamwise and vertical velocity components using 2D Laser Doppler Velocimeter. The turbulent field in a straight compound-channel flow was characterized for three different uniform ...
