Abstract

Byline: A.C. Benim, E. Pasqualotto, S.H. Suh Incompressible turbulent flow past a circular cylinder is computationally investigated by a cascade of turbulence modelling strategies. Results are compared with experiments, by keeping the focus on the predictability of the drag coefficient. Two-Dimensional Reynolds Averaged Numerical Simulations (2D RANS) and Two-Dimensional Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Numerical Simulations (2D URANS) are performed for a wide range of Reynolds numbers, encompassing the critical regime. It is shown that the drag crisis can qualitatively be predicted by the 2D RANS, provided that the near-wall region is adequately resolved. The 2D RANS underpredicts the experimental drag coefficients for the most Reynolds numbers, seemingly due to the missing contribution of the organised transient motion. The 2D URANS, on the other hand, generally overpredict the drag coefficients, indicating the intimate relationship between the organised transience and three-dimensionality. Computations by three-dimensional transient procedures such as Three-Dimensional Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Simulations (3D URANS), Large Eddy Simulations (LES) and Detached Eddy Simulations (DES) are performed for the Reynolds number of 104. A substantial improvement in the prediction quality is observed. The best agreement with the experiments is obtained by the LES. The DES is also observed to deliver results that are very close to the measurements.

15. Influence of the inlet swirl velocity profile shape on swirl decay in laminar pipe flow

Abstract

Byline: A.C. Benim, F. Gul, E. Pasqualotto Role of the inlet swirl velocity profile shape on swirl decay in steady-state, incompressible, laminar pipe flow is computationally analysed. Two different integral parameters, namely the circulation and the swirl number are investigated as measures of the swirl level. It is observed that swirl decays at different rates along the pipe length, if the shape of the inlet swirl velocity profile is changed, although the inlet value of the integral parameter is kept constant. Even though this result is obtained for the laminar flow, it implies that a similar dependency may exist for the turbulent flow, and the accuracy of the swirl decay correlations may be increased, if they are additionally sensitised to the shape of the swirl velocity profile.

Abstract

Byline: E. Pasqualotto, A.C. Benim For the investigation of side injection systems used in large-bore, two-stroke diesel engines, a new phenomenological modelling approach is presented which applies empirical correlations based on a similar method presented by Hiroyasu et al. for diesel engines with central injection. Results of the new phenomenological modelling are compared with computations of a CFD method making a single-phase assumption for the spray physics. Comparisons of predictions with the measurements of other authors show that fairly useful results can be obtained by the modelling approaches employed.

40. Checking an integrated model of Web accessibility and usability evaluation for disabled people.

Author

Federici S, Micangeli A, Ruspantini I, Borgianni S, Corradi F, Pasqualotto E, and Belardinelli MO

Abstract

A combined objective-oriented and subjective-oriented method for evaluating accessibility and usability of web pages for students with disability was tested. The objective-oriented approach is devoted to verifying the conformity of interfaces to standard rules stated by national and international organizations responsible for web technology standardization, such as W3C. Conversely, the subjective-oriented approach allows assessing how the final users interact with the artificial system, accessing levels of user satisfaction based on personal factors and environmental barriers. Five kinds of measurements were applied as objective-oriented and subjective-oriented tests. Objective-oriented evaluations were performed on the Help Desk web page for students with disability, included in the website of a large Italian state university. Subjective-oriented tests were administered to 19 students labeled as disabled on the basis of their own declaration at the University enrolment: 13 students were tested by means of the SUMI test and six students by means of the 'Cooperative evaluation'. Objective-oriented and subjective-oriented methods highlighted different and sometimes conflicting results. Both methods have pointed out much more consistency regarding levels of accessibility than of usability. Since usability is largely affected by individual differences in user's own (dis)abilities, subjective-oriented measures underscored the fact that blind students encountered much more web surfing difficulties.

Abstract

Background: The supraglottic airway device (SGD) was introduced as a breakthrough in airway management. The Fastrach emerged as the first commercially available intubating SGD, drawing extensive investigation. I-gel is a more recent device that has gained popularity, can be used as an intubating SGD, and replaced Fastrach in many institutions. However, there is uncertainty regarding the comparison between these devices in terms of efficacy for intubation and ventilation, and safety in an airway rescue situation., Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing I-gel and Fastrach SGD in adult patients undergoing intubation. The primary outcome was the first-pass success rate for tracheal intubation. Secondary outcomes were tracheal intubation time, SGD insertion time and success, and complications. We computed risk ratios (RRs) to assess binary end points and weighted mean differences (WMDs) for continuous outcomes, with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the primary outcome and its subgroup analysis ( P < .05 was considered statistically significant) and 99% CI after Bonferroni correction for the secondary outcomes ( P < .01 was considered statistically significant)., Results: This study included a total of 14 RCTs encompassing 1340 patients. The results indicated a significant difference in the first-pass success rate favoring Fastrach (RR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.67-0.98; P = .03; I² = 91%). In the subgroup analysis, when a flexible scope was utilized through I-gel, providers achieved a better tracheal intubation first-pass success rate (RR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01-1.11; P = .03; I² = 0%), compared with the Fastrach. Overall intubation success rates (RR, 0.92; 99% CI, 0.82-1.04; P = .08, I² = 92%) and time (WMD - 1.03 seconds; 99% CI, -4.75 to 2.69; P = .48; I² = 84%) showed no significant difference irrespective of the device used. There was no significant difference regarding device insertion time by the providers (WMD -6.48 seconds; 99% CI, -13.23 to 0.27; P = .01; I 2 = 98%). Success rates of the providers' initial SGD insertion and complications such as sore throat (RR, 1.01; 99% CI, 0.65-1.57; P = .95, I² = 33%) and blood presence post-SGD removal (RR, 0.89; 99% CI, 0.42-1.86; P = .68, I² = 0%) showed no significant difference., Conclusions: Based on our findings, a higher first-pass success rate was observed with the use of Fastrach when compared to I-gel. However, the use of I-gel might result in a better intubation success rate with the flexible scope-guided intubation. There are no significant differences in performance in terms of the success rate for intubation overall, time for device insertion, or time to intubation or complications regardless of the device used., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2024 International Anesthesia Research Society.)

Abstract

Purpose: Accidental ureteric injury during colorectal surgery is a rare but dreadful event. It is associated with a higher risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) and acute kidney injury (AKI). Prophylactic placement of double J stents could improve ureteral identification and decrease the chance of accidental ureteral injury., Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane, Central Register of Clinical Trials, and Web of Science for studies published until March 2024. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled with a random-effects model. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran Q test and I 2 statistics, with p-values inferior to 0.10 and I 2  > 25% considered significant. Statistical analysis was conducted in RStudio version 4.4.1., Results: Eleven observational studies were included, comprising 71,784 patients. Among them, 11,723 (16.4%) were submitted to a prophylactic ureteral stent while 59,961 (83.6%) were not. There was no significant difference in ureteral injury between the groups (0.66% vs 0.8%; OR 1.45; 95% CI 0.43-4.87; p = 0.552; I 2  = 56%). Prophylactic stent placement was associated with an increase in AKI (1.7% vs. 0.56%; OR 1.54; 95% CI 1.24-1.91; p < 0.001; I 2  = 44%), operative time (MD 24.8 min; 95% CI 4.9-44.8; p = 0.01; I 2  = 91%), and a decrease in mortality (OR 0.11; 95% CI 0.05-0.23; p < 0.001; I 2  = 42%). No differences were observed in UTI, hematuria, length of hospital stays, and reoperation., Conclusion: In colorectal surgery, prophylactic ureteral stents were associated with increased AKI and operative time. No significant difference was observed in ureteral injury, UTI, hematuria, length of hospital stays, and reoperation., Competing Interests: Declarations. Conflict of interest: The authors declare no competing interests. Ethical approval: A statement about approval of the study by the IRB/local ethical committee and patient informed consents are not deemed necessary due to the nature of the study (meta-analysis)., (© 2024.

Abstract

Background: Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) with catheter ablation (CA) has evolved significantly. However, real-world data on long-term outcomes are limited, particularly in low- and middle-income countries., Objective: This multicenter prospective cohort of consecutive patients aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of first-time CA for AF in Southern Brazil from 2009 to 2024., Methods: The primary outcome was any atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA) recurrence. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards model assessed independent predictors of recurrence., Results: Among 1,043 patients (mean age 67.3 ± 11.3 years, 27.9% female), 75.5% had paroxysmal AF. At a median follow-up of 1.4 (1.0 - 3.4) years, 21.4% had ATA recurrence. Recurrence rates were 18.6% for paroxysmal and 29.8% for persistent AF, and 67.3% of events occurred within the first year after CA. Predictors of recurrence were persistent AF at baseline (hazard ratio [HR] 1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15-2.13; p = 0.004), enlargement of left atrial diameter (HR 1.03, 95% CI 1.00-1.05; p = 0.033), and higher EHRA score of AF symptoms (HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.18-2.18; p = 0.003). Recurrence rates decreased over time according to the procedure's calendar year, with a 9% relative reduction per consecutive year (HR 0.91; p < 0.001). There was a 2.1% rate of procedure-related adverse events., Conclusions: In the largest cohort study of consecutive AF ablations in Latin America, predictors of ATA recurrence were related to later stages of AF. Complication and recurrence rates were comparable to those in high-income countries, underscoring the global applicability of CA for AF management.

Abstract

Background: Radiofrequency ablation guided by ultrasound (RFA-USG) is an alternative treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients. Despite showing accurate precision and minimal invasion, its efficacy remains questionable., Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Portal Regional da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Web of Science databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies evaluating RFA-USG in PHPT patients. Statistical analysis was performed with R software, version 4.4.3., Results: Eight studies were included with 208 patients with PHPT undergoing RFA-USG treatment. After 3 months of treatment, parathyroid volume was 0.31 mL (0.16-0.61), Parathyroid hormone (PTH) level was 60.71 pg/mL (53.87-68.42), and calcium level was 5.43 mEq/L (2.63-11.23). The occurrence of hoarseness among the patients was 4.4% (1.64-11.02)., Conclusion: RFA-USG is safe for PHPT patients, with associated parathyroid volume reduction and decrease in PTH. However, further study is needed to compare RFA-USG to the gold standard of surgery for PHPT., (© 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)
