Many contemporary studies often overlook the reality of non-uniform heat generation in various modern heating devices by presuming uniform heat distribution, emphasizing the need for advancements in heat transfer methods. For this purpose, convective heat transfer through a two-dimensional corrugated tube was computationally analyzed for laminar flow region under different heating conditions. Uniform Heat Flux (UHF), Linearly Increasing Heat Flux (LIHF), Linearly Decreasing Heat Flux (LDHF), and Periodic Heat Flux (PHF) were considered on the corrugation wall.

The standard of care for the management of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is phototherapy to prevent long-term neurological sequelae. The aim of this study was to ascertain the predictability of significant rebound hyperbilirubinemia (SRH) in neonates after phototherapy and the factors associated with it.

The objective of the study was to reduce the to reduce the incidence of infusion-related phlebitis in children admitted to the pediatric critical care unit.
Methods: This Quality Initiative was implemented in the pediatric critical care unit of a tertiary care hospital between November 2019 and April 2020.
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a postinfectious immune mediated complications seen in children and develop after 4-6 weeks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus -2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, however, it is rare in neonates. The index case was admitted at day 19 of life with complaints of fever, loose stools and rash. Baby was discharged after 1 weeks with diagnosis of Multisystem inflammatory syndrome with persistent neutropenia.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA systematic literature review was conducted to summarize the overall thermal performance of different gasified cooking stoves from the available literature. For this purpose, available studies from the last 14 years (2008 to 2022) were searched using different search strings. After screening, a total of 28 articles were selected for this literature review.
