Background: Parenteral nutrition (PN) is required by people with intestinal failure and can be delivered as multi-chambered bags (MCBs) or individually compounded (COM) bags. This systematic review aimed to examine the evidence base for clinical outcomes and/or quality of life (QoL) in adults receiving PN as MCBs compared to COMs in hospital and co...

Kelvin’s circulation, as a loop integral of the velocity field, is first shown to be equal to ΓC=2πΔnΓ1+constant in an inviscid fluid, with Γ1 a unit circulation. The integer Δn is interpreted as the number of net 2π-rotations of the velocity vector in one cyclicality along the circulation loop and hence it is a topological number. Different from t...

The Ito equation belongs to the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) family and is commonly employed to predict how ships roll in regular seas. Additionally, it characterizes the interaction between two internal long waves. In the 1980s, Ito extended the bilinear KdV equation, resulting in the well-known (1+1)-dimensional and (2+1)-dimensional Ito equations. In...
Sepsis is a complex syndrome with heterogeneous clinical presentation and outcome, characterized by an abnormal inflammatory response, potentially leading to multiorgan damage and hemodynamic instability. Early resuscitation with fluids and timely control of the source of sepsis are key treatment targets in septic patients. Recommendations on when ...

Physics-based first-principles pressure-volume-temperature equations of state (EOS) exist for solids and gases but not for liquids due to the long-standing fundamental problems involved in liquid theory. Current EOS models that are applicable to liquids and supercritical fluids at liquid-like density under conditions relevant to planetary interiors...
In this thesis, we investigated the stability of the contact line of an initially ax- isymmetric, fixed volume of viscous fluid upon a flat rotating disc, centred on the axis of rotation. We performed an experimental analysis, concerning the onset and formation of the instabilities at the contact line. The instability at the con- tact line is chara...

We propose a variation of the well-known Cartesian diver experiment where, instead of moving in a uniform fluid, the diver floats in a fluid stratified in density. In contrast to the original experiment, for a given external pressure the diver can stop in a stable equilibrium position within the fluid, at the depth where the surrounding density mat...
「令和6年能登半島地震」は長く静かに始まり、向きや傾斜の異なる断層を次々と破壊した.京都大学プレスリリース. 2024-06-13. / A devastating earthquake with moment magnitude 7.5 occurred in the Noto Peninsula in central Japan on 1 January 2024. We estimate the rupture evolution of this earthquake from teleseismic P-wave data using the potency-density tensor inversion method, which provides information on ...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex and life-threatening condition with multifactorial etiologies, ranging from ischemic injury to nephrotoxic exposures. Management is founded on treating the underlying cause of AKI, but supportive care—via fluid management, vasopressor therapy, kidney replacement therapy (KRT), and more—is also crucial. Blood p...
