There is evidence that during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), pulsatile pump flow improves cerebral metabolism. This was a study to explore the effect of pulsatile versus nonpulsatile perfusion on cerebral lactate, pyruvate, glucose and beta-hydroxybutyrate using a Stöckert roller pump. We found no significant differences between the arterial-venous (A-V) differences of lactate, glucose and beta-hydroxybutyrate (p > 0.05). When the upward trend of A-V pyruvate was accounted for, there was again no difference (p = 0.2). Arterial lactate:pyruvate ratios were not significantly different between pulsatile and nonpulsatile pump flow (p > 0.05). Venous lactate:pyruvate ratios were significantly higher during pulsatile bypass, but when the downward trend was accounted for, the differences between pulsatile and nonpulsatile values were no longer significant (p = 0.4). Therefore, the metabolic changes were not significant. There was no significant difference in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) during pulsatile and nonpulsatile flow (p = 0.4). Pulsatile flow delivered by the Stöckert roller pump appears to have no metabolic or SVR advantages in adults undergoing CPB.

A 69-year-old man with chest pain was diagnosed with acute type B aortic dissection with the entry tear located at distal arch and a distal aortic arch aneurysm. Therefore, we performed debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair 2 weeks after type B aortic dissection onset. First, the graft was anastomosed to bilateral axillary arteries.

Background: Beedi rolling is a labor-intensive occupation that can cause a variety of health problems due to prolonged exposure to tobacco dust. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess morbidity, hematological profile, and DNA damage among beedi rollers in Karnataka.
Methods: A total of 153 participants, including 85 beedi and 65 non-beedi rollers, were enrolled in the study.
Straightening trajectory of hooked fibers in the fiber transport channel of rotor spinning investigated by fluid solid coupled simulation.

The airflow in the transport channel contributes to the accelerated straightening of the hooked fibers, which greatly influences the structural properties of the yarn. To study the straightening process of hooked fiber in the fiber transport channel, Altair EDEM 2022 software was used to establish flexible fiber models, and combined with ANSYS Fluent 2022R1 simulation software, the fluid-solid coupling method was used to simulate the air velocity distribution in the fiber transport channel and the straightening process of the hooked fibers in the airflow field. The numerical simulated air flow is verified by Hagen-Poissuille pipe flow equation.

Background: The role of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still in debate. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively assess the impact of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile flow on patients' recovery.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials comparing pulsatile and non-pulsatile flow in cardiac surgeries with CPB.
A Novel Valveless Pulsatile Flow Pump for Extracorporeal Blood Circulation.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a modality of extracorporeal life support which allows temporary support in cases of cardiopulmonary failure and cardiogenic shock. This study presents a valveless pump that works by the Liebau effect as a possible pumping system in ECMO circuits, replacing the current roller and centrifugal pumps. For this purpose, a mock circulatory loop emulating the haemodynamic of the right part of the heart has been constructed.
