To find the temperature rise for high power density yokeless and segmented armature (YASA) axial flux permanent magnet synchronous (AFPMSM) machines quickly accurately, a 3D lumped parameter thermal model is developed validated experimentally by finite element (FE) simulations on 4 kW YASA machine. Additionally, to get insight in transient response of machine, accounts capacitance different machine components. The considers stator, bearing, windage losses, as well eddy current losses magnets...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are uncommon when compared to all gastrointestinal neoplasms but the most common mesenchymal of tract. The largest tumor ever recorded in literature weighed approximately 6.1 kg and measured 39 cm × 27 14 cm. About two-thirds GISTs malignant. size, mitotic rate, cellularity, nuclear pleomorphism important parameters considering prognosis recurrence. definitive treatment for these is resection. In year 2000, first patient was treated with tyrosine kinase...

Biomaterials measurement and standardization are necessary for suitable use in medical industries. Nanobiomaterials used living creature body, taking account of their biocompatibility, nontoxic non carcinogenic. These requirements eliminate many engineering materials that available. Thus, the nanobiomaterial should possess adequate physical mechanical properties surface characteristics to serve as augmentation or replacement body tissues. This paper discusses classification different...

Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF)] have neurologic complications, and decreased pulmonary flow. This will lead to having nonstationary ECG signal also its rate variability (HRV) signal. In this work, we used the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) develop a strategy identify relevant intrinsic functions (IMFs) for classification. The data set includes long-term record (1-Hour) of signals from normal CHF. K-means clustering technique was classify decomposed IMFs. percentage success...

Differential diagnosis of Erythemato-Squamos diseases is considered a real problem in dermatology. They all share the clinical features erythematic and scaling, with very little differences. This paper introduces an unsupervised color segmentation procedure applied to one disease this group named Atopic Dermatitis. Evaluation different models done select most appropriate model for representing skin lesions. Two steps were detect lesions less computation. First coarse optimal threshold CIE...

Introduction: Papulo‐squamous skin diseases are variable but very close in their clinical features. They present with the same lesions, erythematous scaly lesions. Clinical evaluation of lesions is based on common sense and experience dermatologist to differentiate features each disease. Aim: To evaluate a computer‐based image analysis system as helping tool for classification commonly encountered diseases. Materials Methods: The study included 50 selected images from psoriasis, lichen...

Autoimmune hepatitis has been associated with chronic HCV infection, but there are only few cases reported of HBV infection as a possible trigger. We present case young male who was diagnosed acute autoimmune superimposed on existent infection. A 30-year-old Hispanic no past medical history presented to the hospital complaints days generalized weakness. Laboratory findings were significant for elevated liver enzymes: AST, 1164 U/L; ALT, 1461 total bilirubin, 2 MG/DL; and alkaline...

Differential diagnosis of cardiac diseases is considered a real problem in cardiology. Moreover congestive heart disease [CHF] one the most life-threatening where it characterized by neurologic complications, and decreased pulmonary flow. Analysis long-record ECG trace and/or extracted HRV signal need to consider presence non-stationary. In this work, Hilbert transform applied get analytic representation these signals. Instantaneous amplitude (envelop); phase; frequency were calculated....

Extraintestinal Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is extremely uncommon. High mortality and poor outcomes have been observed among individuals with this rare medical condition. Empyema one of the extraintestinal manifestations CDI. Possible mechanisms to develop parapneumonic effusion are aspiration contamination chest tube. We present a 42-year-old Hispanic male C. empyema without any prior history

Computer-aided diagnosing (CAD) and computer-assisted surgery (CAS) systems for spine intervertebral disc (IVD) necessitate highly speed, minimal memory usage accurate segmentation system because such has a direct impact on spinal disease diagnosis surgical planning. An unsupervised edge-based IVD is proposed validated eight different lower back pain patients with MR sagittal axial plane images. It achieves 0.98275, 0.9924 mean dice similarity coefficient (DSC) 0.9733, 0.9735 area under the...

In this study, a computerized nurse scheduling model is developed. The approached through binary integer programming. It adapted to ICU in university educational hospital, New Kasr El-Eni Cairo improve the current manual-made schedules. developed accounts both for hospital objectives and nurses' preferences seniority.

Introduction: Nigella sativa (Black seed) and Allium sativum (garlic), are common dietary spices also traditionally used as a treatment for various diseases including diabetes mellitus. The antidiabetic activity of each individual spice is well documented.Purpose: This study aimed to compared the effect active ingredients nigella (Thymoquinone) allium (Allicin) on STZ induced type 1 in rats' model.Materials Methods: Six equal sized groups rats were this experiment. Five injected with induce...

Primary gastric small cell carcinoma (GSCC) is an extremely rare type of carcinoma. Its aggressive nature with early widespread metastasis and late detection gives it a poor prognosis overall survival <12 months. GSCC neuroendocrine tumor, because its histopathological similarity to lung (SCLC), treatment regimen includes the same chemotherapy agents as SCLC. We report case 57-year-old man who presented signs partial gastrointestinal obstruction was found have primary stage IV liver.

Abstract Drilling in the Western Desert presents significant challenges, necessitating optimization across various aspects of drilling operations. Key factors include selection and configuration Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA), choice between Rotary Steerable Systems (RSS) motor assemblies, fluids, flow rates, operational parameters such as Weight on Bit (WOB) Rotations per Minute (RPM). Additionally, minimizing vibration is crucial to enhance Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE), improve Rate...

Abdominal and pelvic abscesses can occur due to a number of reasons, the most common being surgery. They are associated with significant morbidity mortality. The treatment approach for these types collections is often initiation broad-spectrum antibiotics, accompanied by drainage. Multiple diagnostic therapeutic modalities have been described, including; percutaneous, transvaginal, endoscopic, surgicaldrainage. Due complexity anatomy, minimally invasive approaches such as percutaneous...

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of death; therefore early detection by screening beneficial. Residents at a clinic in NJ, USA were not offering other forms colon when patients refused colonoscopy, which lead to creation quality improvement project. Methods: practicing given an anonymous survey determining method they used and alternative offered original method. The residents educated about all methods resurveyed. Results: A total 64% less invasive testing...
