Functional Assessment of Diaphragm Muscle in Stroke Patients and Research of Rehabilitation Intervention by Juanjuan FU, Hui FENG, Huaping PAN

“…Before and after two weeks of treatment, both groups were evaluated using the mean values of normal for thick and motion of the right hemidiaphragms during quiet breathing and deep breathing, pulmonary function tests, including forced vital capacity(FVC)and forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV₁), arterial blood gas analysis(arterial partial pressure of oxygen PaO₂, oxygenation index, partial pressure of carbon dioxide PaCO₂, pH value)and a fatigue severity scale(FSS).Results:The ratio of diaphragm thickness, diaphragm displacement, forced vital capacity, FEV₁, FEV₁/FVC, oxygen and index, and SaO₂in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group, pH value and fatigue index in the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. …”

Numerical investigating the impact of fluid properties and oscillation frequency on micro mixer efficiency by Sajad Ghanbari, Mohammad Sefid, Mohammad Ali Sabbaghi

“…For this purpose, a two-dimensional microchannel equipped with an oscillating circular cylinder was used, operating within a Strouhal number range of 0.1–0.55, with an oscillation amplitude of 0.4 cylinder diameters in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction, at a blockage ratio of 13 and Reynolds and Schmidt numbers of 50 and 10, respectively, utilizing a finite volume method based on elements. The results obtained indicate that mixing two identical fluids represents an ideal condition, wherein the highest level of mixing occurs compared to mixing two fluids with differing densities and viscosities. …”
