Parametric sensitivity analysis for a natural gas fueled high temperature tubular solid oxide fuel cell.

For more than the last two decades, there has been research going on to develop advanced energy technologies involving minimum environmental pollution, to replace the conventional fossil energy systems. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are one of the most promising, eco-friendly and efficient means for the generation of electricity to meet the future energy requirements. This research work focuses on the parametric sensitivity analysis for natural gas fueled high temperature tubular SOFC.

The Influence of Weather on the Incidence of Primary Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage has been associated with changes in various weather conditions. The primary aim of this study was to examine the collective influence of temperature, barometric pressure, and dew point temperature on the incidence of primary spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).

Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2016, patients with sICH due to hypertension or amyloid angiopathy with a known time of onset were identified prospectively.

Intraoral desmoplastic fibroma: a manifestation of tuberous sclerosis.

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a benign but locally aggressive tumor usually recognized as an intraosseous counterpart of soft tissue fibromatosis in both gnathic and extra-gnathic sites. The most common site is mandible followed by pelvis and long bones. Maxilla has been reported to be involved very rarely.

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy in oral cavity at unusual age.

The melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy is an extremely rare, fast-growing but benign lesion, commonly occurring in the maxilla of children within the first year of life. Only about 380 cases of this particular tumor have been documented in the medical literature and very few of them have been reported to have occurred in late childhood. We describe here a relatively uncommon presentation of melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy of maxilla arising from palatal gingiva of a 10 year-old female, its course and management by surgical excision with safe margins.

Clinical spectrum of cleidocranial dysplasia: a case report.

Background: Cleidocranial dysplasia is a developmental anomaly of the skeleton and the teeth. This condition may be inherited, be transmitted as dominant characteristics in either sex, or even may appear spontaneously. It presents with skeletal defects of several bones, like partial or complete absence of clavicles, late closure of the fontanels, presence of open skull sutures and multiple wormian bones.
