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: The pharmacokinetics of sodium oxybate (SXB) was evaluated in a subset of participants from a study of SXB treatment in children and adolescents with narcolepsy with cataplexy to support weight‐based SXB dose initiation in pediatric patients.

An improved method for determining renal sufficiency using volume of distribution and weight from bolus 99mTc-DTPA, two blood sample, paediatric data.
TL;DR: The best RSI from f(V, W) is RSI=90.927&ggr;V0.20185, and may relate to a volumetric measure of body habitus, and should detect mildly (14.1%) reduced renal sufficiency.

One-year mortality of patients with ST-Elevation myocardial infarction: Prognostic impact of creatinine-based equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate
Yoann Bataille,Olivier Costerousse,Olivier F. Bertrand,Olivier Moranne,Hans Pottel,Pierre Delanaye +5 more
TL;DR: In STEMI patients who have undergone primary PCI, 1-year mortality is better predicted by CG or FAS equations compared to CKD-EPI, and better prediction with FAS and CG equations was confirmed by net reclassification index.

The improvement of QRS-T angle as a manifestation of reverse electrical remodeling following renal transplantation in end-stage kidney disease patients on haemodialysis

TL;DR: RT induces biphasic reverse electrical remodeling as assessed by the narrowing of QRS-T angle, which is mainly due to the normalization of volume status, whereas late decrease is associated predominantly with the improvement of cardiac contractile function.
