Features of test of air-fuel system of gas turbine engine by V. N. Klimov, D. Ya. Dud’ev, V. Ya. Sigaylo, N. I. Klimov

“…This makes it much more difficult to select the optimal parameters of the air-fuel mixture and the operating modes of the engine, ensuring the operability of its rotary bearings with the least loss of fuel and air pressure behind the compressor, which can lead to a significant deterioration of the main parameters of the GTE. The solution to this problem requires bench tests of the air-fuel lubrication system of the GTE under different operating conditions. …”

Prognosis of urgent initiation of peritoneal dialysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Ji He, BaoQiao Wu, Yue Zhang, Limiao Dai, Juan Ji, Yueming Liu, Qiang He

“…Objectives Currently, there is no consensus on the optimal timing for the initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) after catheter placement.Design Systematic review and meta-analysis.Exact date of data collection From inception till July 31, 2023.Main outcome measures To assess the outcomes and safety of unplanned PD initiation (<14/7 days after catheter insertion) in cohort studies.Results Fifteen studies involving 3054 participants were included. (1) The risk of unplanned initiation of leakage and Obstruction was no difference in both the break-in period (BI) <14 and BI < 7 groups. (2) Catheter displacement was more likely to occur in the emergency initiation group with BI < 7. (3) No significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding infectious complications. (4) There was no difference in transition to HD between patients with BI < 7 and BI < 14 d.Conclusion Infectious complications of unplanned initiation of peritoneal dialysis did not differ from planned initiation. …”
