A case of primary hypothyroidism initially presenting with massive pericardial effusion
Journal of Clinical and Translational Endocrinology Case Reports, 2016 While mild pericardial effusion generally accompanies overt hypothyroidism, massive pericardial effusion or pericardial tamponade is rare and more frequently occurs in patients with severe hypothyroidism.

Anagrelide‐induced pericardial effusion in a patient with essential thrombocythemia
Clinical Case Reports, 2023 Pericardial effusion leading to cardiac tamponade can occur due to a multitude of etiologies, one of which is medication adverse effects. In patients with comorbid conditions, this can prove to be a challenge in its co‐management along with the primary ...

Analytical model for release calculations in solid thin-foils ISOL targets [PDF]
, 2016 A detailed analytical model has been developed to simulate isotope-release curves from thin-foils ISOL targets. It involves the separate modelling of diffusion and effusion inside the target. The former has been modelled using both first and second Fick's law.

Non-stationary thermophysical characterization of exfoliated graphite with carbon nanotubes composites [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The sheet samples of thermally exfoliated graphite (TEG) carbon nanotubes (CNT) composites (TEG CNT cs) were obtained by persulphate oxidation using chemical (CO) and electrochemical (anode) oxidation (ECAO). Electron microscopy reveals multi layered structures of few layer graphene nanosheets with folded and tubular like fragments.Electron microscopy ...

Pericardial Effusion in Association With Periodontitis: Case Report and Review of 8 Patients in Literature [PDF]
Periodontal diseases are well-known background for infective endocarditis. Here, we show that pericardial effusion or pericarditis might have origin also in periodontal diseases.

Graphene Effusion-based Gas Sensor [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Porous, atomically thin graphene membranes have interesting properties for filtration and sieving applications because they can accommodate small pore sizes, while maintaining high permeability. These membranes are therefore receiving much attention for novel gas and water purification applications.

Surgical Management of Massive Pericardial Effusion and Predictors for Development of Constrictive Pericarditis in a Resource Limited Setting [PDF]
, 2016 Background. The diagnosis and treatment of massive pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade have evolved over the years with a tendency towards a more comprehensive diagnostic workup and less traumatic intervention. Method. We reviewed and analysed the

Message in a bottle. The use of chest radiography for diagnosis of pericardial effusion
African Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2016 The diagnosis of pericardial effusion may be elusive, and only diagnosed with echocardiography. Case reports: Here we report the cases of two patients who presented to the emergency centre (EC) with dyspnoea, and their chest X-rays (CXR) revealed the ...
