Evaluation of mixing performance and validation of CFD simulations in baffled anaerobic digesters using radiotracer technique.

The anaerobic digesters find usage in treating the huge amount of waste such as trash, garbage, human waste and animal waste. The sustained performance of an anaerobic digester depends on the flow pattern and mixing behaviour in the digester. A cylindrical digester tank with vertical baffles can provide flow behaviour approaching that of a plug flow reactor.

Alpelisib-Induced Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

We present the third case of alpelisib-induced diabetic ketoacidosis. Alpelisib is an antineoplastic agent that inhibits phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), which plays a key role in multiple biological processes such as cell differentiation, proliferation, and survival. Thereby, the inhibition of this pathway should cause antitumor activity.

Percutaneous cryoablation of adrenal metastases: technical feasibility and safety.

Purpose: To assess the technical feasibility and outcomes of adrenal metastases cryoablation.

Materials And Methods: This is an IRB approved retrospective review of adrenal metastases cryoablation between April 2003 and October 2018. Forty percutaneous cryoablation procedures were performed on 40 adrenal metastases in 34 patients.

Adrenal Metastases as Sanctuary Sites in Advanced Renal Cancer.

Involvement of the adrenal gland in kidney cancer represents a unique site of metastasis with a distinct clinical course. The cases are typically resistant to immune therapy and need local therapy management. A case series of patients with adrenal metastases was reviewed to highlight the nuances of clinical course and therapy.
