An aortocaval fistula was created by puncturing the murine infra-renal aorta through both walls into the inferior vena cava and was followed by creation of a stenosis in its outflow via partial ligation of the inferior vena cava. This reproducible model can be used to study central venous stenosis.

Source: Jaideep S. Talwalkar, MD, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT Through auscultation, the clinician is able "to eavesdrop on the workings of the body" to gain important diagnostic information.1 Historically, the term "auscultation" was synonymous with "immediate auscultation," in which the examiner's ear was placed directly against the patient's skin. Although this was standard practice for centuries, the method proved inadequate in nineteenth-century...

Because of the principle of conservation of momentum, the increased fluid velocity results in an effective thrust force on the vehicle. The thrust capabilities of propulsion systems are often measured with static thrust tests.

Topical Airway Anesthesia for Awake-endoscopic Intubation Using the Spray-as-you-go Technique with High Oxygen Flow

The topical anesthetic lidocaine was atomized using a high oxygen flow through the working channel of a flexible intubating endoscope to achieve topical airway anesthesia for awake endotracheal intubation. We prefer this modified spray-as-you-go technique for endoscopic intubation to classical bolus application because of higher patient satisfaction and better compliance.

FAQs
Downstream water level sets the back pressure acting at the outlet. Engineers therefore compare upstream and downstream hydraulic heads, rather than treating the opening as an isolated discharge point. The resulting head difference drives the flow, while outlet geometry and energy losses modify the amount conveyed. This relationship makes changing downstream conditions central to capacity predictions.
Outlet geometry and energy losses determine how much of the available head difference becomes useful discharge. Changes in the opening or conduit, along with hydraulic losses, can therefore alter capacity even when upstream and downstream water levels remain the same. Accounting for these variables helps engineers avoid treating all submerged outlets as hydraulically equivalent.
Free outflow can be assessed without the same downstream submergence effect, because the outlet is not subject to comparable back pressure. Drowned outflow instead requires the downstream hydraulic head in the discharge analysis. This distinction matters when water levels rise around a culvert, gate, spillway, drainage outlet, or reservoir outlet, since upstream conditions alone may misrepresent capacity.
A practical analysis begins by establishing the upstream and downstream water levels, then determining the hydraulic-head difference across the outlet. Engineers next account for the opening or conduit geometry and associated energy losses. Using those inputs, they can evaluate expected discharge and examine resulting capacity and water levels. This workflow keeps downstream conditions in the calculation rather than treating them as incidental.
It is relevant wherever an outlet discharges into a region that can submerge it, including culverts, gates, spillways, drainage systems, and reservoir outlets. In these settings, analysis helps predict conveyance capacity and water levels under downstream-controlled conditions. Those predictions support hydraulic designs intended to reduce unexpected flooding and provide adequate passage for the discharged fluid.
The emerging jet may not be visible when the outlet is submerged, so visual inspection alone cannot establish how the system is performing. Engineers instead rely on hydraulic-head differences, outlet geometry, and energy-loss considerations to assess discharge. The same analysis can also address energy dissipation, making it useful for evaluating both conveyance behavior and downstream hydraulic effects.
