Magnetohydrodynamic peristalsis of variable viscosity Jeffrey liquid with heat and mass transfer

open access: yes, 2017
The mathematical aspects of Dufour and Soret phenomena on the peristalsis of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Jeffrey liquid in a symmetric channel are presented. Fluid viscosity is taken variably. Lubrication approach has been followed.

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Nitric Oxide - Its Importance in Swallowing, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2001
Nitric oxide is a neurotransmitter found in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is localized in the central nervous system, including the nucleus of the solitary tract, nucleus ambiguus and dorsal motor nucleus of the ...

Efficacy of Dexamethasone in Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction

open access: yesANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common long‐term complication following abdominal surgery and a frequent cause of inpatient admissions. The most common cause of SBO is adhesions, followed by hernias and malignancy. Non‐operative management strategies include bowel rest, nasogastric decompression, and Gastrografin administration ...

A kinematic study of pulsation in the dorsal blood vessel of the blackworm, Lumbriculus variegatus [PDF]

open access: yesImpulse: The Premier Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal, 2011
The aquatic oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus has a segmented, dorsal blood vessel (DBV) that acts as a peristaltic pump to move blood through the animal's closed circulatory system.

Volvulus nodosus of the small intestine: Differences in foals and adults

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Volvulus nodosus is a strangulating lesion of the small intestine described only in foals and in just one case in older horses. Huskamp et al. (1982, 1998) described the pathophysiology of volvulus nodosus in foals, but to date, there is no description of the pathophysiology of volvulus nodosus in adults.

Effect of joule heating and MHD on peristaltic blood flow of Eyring–Powell nanofluid in a non-uniform channel

open access: yesJournal of Taibah University for Science, 2019
This paper examines the effect of joule heating and MHD on peristaltic blood flow of a Eyring–Powell nanofluid in a non-uniform channel. The transport equations involve the combined effects of Brownian and Thermophoresis diffusion of nanoparticles.

Surgical management of recurrent oesophageal obstruction in a yearling Saddlebred filly

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This case report describes the diagnostic approach and surgical management of a yearling Saddlebred filly with recurrent oesophageal obstruction, likely caused by an acquired extraluminal oesophageal stricture. The filly initially presented with repeated episodes of oesophageal obstruction, which were resolved with sedation and nasogastric ...

Surgical removal of a perirectal melanoma through sphincterotomy and rectal wall resection in a horse

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Melanomas are among the most frequent neoplasms in grey horses. Deep perirectal melanomas, however, are uncommon and challenging to excise due to their proximity to the peritoneal reflection. This report describes the successful standing removal of a large (16 × 8 × 6 cm) perirectal melanoma firmly adherent to the dorsal rectal wall in a 19 ...

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...
