We have developed a low negative pressure vacuum suction system in which cardiotomy suction is performed by the negative pressure of the venous reservoir controlled by a vacuum controller. We have employed this vacuum suction system with a centrifugal pump as a totally roller pumpless cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system. In this study, the clinical availability and hemocompatibility of our totally roller pumpless CPB system were evaluated by a randomized prospective study. Thirty patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass grafting were assigned to the study. Data from seventeen patients treated with a totally roller pumpless CPB system were compared with data from 13 treated with a conventional roller pump CPB system. Totally roller pumpless CPB reduces hemolysis, showing lower plasma free hemoglobin levels (81.8 +/- 25.0 versus 42.0 +/- 16.3 at 30 min after CPB initiation, p < 0.05), higher plasma haptoglobin levels (37.8 +/- 36.6 versus 77.2 +/- 31.3 at 120 min after CPB, p < 0.05), and lower blood lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels (1391 +/- 497 versus 972 +/- 187, p < 0.01) than those of CPB with a roller pump suction with no significant difference between platelet counts. Arterial blood oxygen tension after using a totally roller pumpless CPB system was slightly better than that with a roller pump (396 +/- 48 versus 437 +/- 43, p = 0.069); however, there was no significant difference in intubation times between groups. A totally roller pumpless CPB system provides sufficient biocompatibility for the blood to reduce hemolysis significantly and simplifies and miniaturizes the entire CPB system to achieve good visuality and handling for control as well.

Postgraduate Department, CHANGE Research Working Group, Faculty of Health of Sciences, Universidad Científica del Sur, Lima, Peru.
Objective: The objective was to determine the accuracy between functional swallowing (FS) and the Knebelman craniometric method (KCM) to measure occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) in total denture wearers.
Materials And Methods: A quasi-experimental, prospective study was conducted considering the KCM diagnostic method as the gold standard compared to FS. All the totally edentulous patients attended at the School of Dentistry of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos ( = 32) in 2018-2019 were evaluated.

Knowledge gaps of the physical activity-related injury (PARI) problem among general undergraduates exist. We conducted a study in four universities, where 1421 students graded 1-3 were interviewed face-to-face during April and May after their completion of the baseline survey in March and April 2017, aiming to describe the incidence and characteristics of PARI. PARI experience and physical activity (PA) participation in the past 12 months were collected.

Slick test is carried out by a flour miller to qualitatively segregate the flour from different streams in a roller flour mill. This test is done manually by pressing flour samples on tray using thin bladed paddle (the slick) and inspecting color or dress of the sample. However, the test is subjective and totally depends on human judgment.

The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of feeding coarsely ground corn on performance, digestive tract measurements, nutrient utilization, and cecal microflora counts in broilers. Five diets containing 600 g/kg of finely ground corn (hammer milled) or 150, 300, 450, and 600 g/kg of coarse corn (cracked in roller mill) replacing (wt/wt) finely ground corn were formulated. Each diet in mash form was offered ad libitum to 6 replicate cages of broilers (8 birds per cage) from d 11 to 35 posthatch.

Whereas femoral component modularity allows the surgeon to address a variety of femoral defects in complex total hip arthroplasty (THA), breakage of modular stems is a known complication that typically occurs at the taper junction. In response, a proprietary process of taper roller-hardening that increases taper strength by a factor of 3.5 was introduced in 1999.
