DYNAMIC SOFA SCORE ASSESSMENTS TO PREDICT OUTCOMES AFTER ACUTE ADMISSION OF OCTOGENARIANS TO THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

Dynamic SOFA score assessments to predict outcomes after acute admission of octogenarians to the intensive care unit

Background Digital Mixers Identifying which octogenarians could benefit most from continuing critical care is challenging.We aimed to see if responses to therapies using the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score on day 4 after unplanned admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) could be associated with short-term mortality.Methods In th

Analysis on Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication in Grease-lubricated Ball Bearings Considering Film Thickness Correction

To study the lubrication characteristics of grease-lubricated rolling ball bearings, such as film thickness and pressure variations in elastohydrodynamic lubrication with elliptical point contact, a numerical analysis model of elastohydrodynamic grease lubrication is firstly constructed.This model is based on the Herschel-Bulkley rheological model

Modelling of Cantilever-Based Flow Energy Harvesters Featuring C-Shaped Vibration Inducers: The Role of the Fluid/Beam Interaction

Flow Energy Harvesters (FEHs), equipped with piezoelectric active layers, are designed to extract energy from non-pulsating flows.FEHs featuring cantilevers 27" Convection Wall Oven with tip-mounted Vibration Inducers (VIs) are designed to develop a galloping motion.In this paper, we present the modelling of a recently introduced VI shape, featurin
