TLDR
A tubular member such as a cartridge which is filled with a material that, upon heating, changes its state from liquid to solid is flocked to enhance heat transfer from the Tubular member to hair rolled around the tubular members.Abstract:
A tubular member such as a cartridge which is filled with a material that, upon heating, changes its state from liquid to solid (such as wax) is flocked to enhance heat transfer from the tubular member to hair rolled around the tubular member. Top and bottom snap-on flanged ends of low heat conducting material are connected to the tubular cartridge by a base means having a base portion and base sides. The sides include a plurality of locking means comprised of radial protrusions or a locking portion having a camming surface, a locking lip, and a locking surface, the radial protrusions or locking portions for communication with a groove in the tubular cartridge. Venting is provided in each base portion to promote heat dissipation from the flanged ends. An aperture is provided in the bottom flanged end base portion in registry with an aperture in the tubular cartridge for receiving a means for heating the roller. Crushing ribs may be provided on each base side to contact the flocked tubular cartridge to prevent axial rotation between the flanged ends and the tubular member. Alternatively, the tubular member may be a high heat conducting tubular material having convex protrusions which mate with concave indentations in the base sides. Spacing projections to space the tubular member from the base portion of the flanged ends may be alternatively employed.read more

TL;DR: It was concluded that the prediction of BMR from the Harris-Benedict equation in PPS patients must be carefully reviewed because it could suggest that muscle mass or other factors may interfere more than predicted.

TL;DR: In this study, BSA was measured directly in 15 full-term Saudi newborns, using a coating technique, to construct a BSA weight-length prediction formula that may be applicable to non-Saudi newborns if as expected, body size and shape variations in different populations develop after birth.

Kinetics of cortisol metabolism and excretion. A hypothetic model based on the cumulative urinary radioactivity in eight multiple pituitary deficient patients.
TL;DR: The low CPR but normal rate constants in the MPD patients suggest a sensitive adjustment of the cortisol response in the target organs, and a normal metabolic clearance rate of cortisol is suggested.
