One-lung ventilation is known to alter the physiology and result in a discrepancy between end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and arterial blood CO2partial pressure despite protective mechanisms like hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.Shunts in an emphysematous patient, SMI Antifungals lateral positioning and capnothorax may aggravate the discrepancy.We present
Abstract Scale precipitation is one of the major problems in the petroleum industry during waterflooding.The possibility of salt formation and precipitation should be monitored and analyzed under dynamic conditions to improve production performance.Scale precipitation and its dependence on production parameters should be investigated before using s
Humans have evolved along with the millions of microorganisms that populate their bodies.These microbes (1014) outnumber human cells by 10 to 1 and account for 3x 106 genes, more than ten times the 25,000 human genes.This microbial metagenome acts as our other genome and like our own genes, is unique to the individual.Recent international efforts s
