Ultrasound analysis of a canine patient with renal disease and chronic liver disease undergoing treatment with intravenous stem cells
(Univ Federal Rural Pernambuco, 2011-12-01)
With the improvement in quality of life of animals, it is increasingly frequent clinical care of elderly patients, which present renal disorders, including chronic renal failure. Recent studies report the use of stem cells ...
Physical exercise improves the functional capacity and quality of life in patients with heart failure
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2008-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of physical exercise on the functional capacity and quality of life in heart failure patients. METHODS: Forty-two patients of both sexes with heart failure ...
Failure mode detection of reinforced concrete shear walls using ensemble deep neural networks
(Springer, 2022)
Reinforced concrete structural walls (RCSWs) are one of the most efficient lateral force-resisting systems used in buildings, providing sufficient strength, stiffness, and deformation capacities to withstand the forces ...
Heart rate dynamics during a treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise test in optimized beta-blocked heart failure patients
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2008)
BACKGROUND: Calculating the maximum heart rate for age is one method to characterize the maximum effort of an individual. Although this method is commonly used, little is known about heart rate dynamics in optimized ...
Numerical assessment of temperature effects on concrete failure behavior
(Springer, 2018-08)
This work focuses on the evaluation of temperature effects on concrete failure behavior and modes by means of a realistic thermodynamically consistent non-local poroplastic constitutive model, previously developed by the ...
Pulmonary Vascular Resistance During Exercise Predicts Long-Term Outcomes in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
(Churchill Livingstone Inc Medical Publishers, 2018)
Background: In heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), the prognostic value of pulmonary vascular dysfunction (PV-dysfunction), identified by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) at peak exercise, ...
Detection of Simultaneous Faults Using State Observer Methodology
(2021-01-01)
Due to the big interest of industries in predictive maintenance, the development of techniques to diagnose failures has been gradually acquiring a relevant role in the current industrial scenario. For this reason, this ...
Respiratory Rate as a Predictor of Weaning Failure from Mechanical Ventilation
(2013)
Background and objective There is not an ideal predictor of weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV). In a large meta-analysis, despite methodological limitations, respiratory rate (RR) was considered a promising predictor. ...
Weld failures in sleeve reinforcements of pipelines
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2000-12-19)
Based on fractographic, metallurgical, mechanical and fracture mechanics analyses, the causes of three failures in welded full encirclement sleeve repairs in a 24 in gas pipeline were evaluated. These failures were related ...
