Curing of Concrete01:20

Curing of Concrete

359
The hydration of cement takes place within the water-filled capillary pores. However, environmental elements can disrupt this process by evaporating water from the concrete surfaces. Sealed concrete with a water-cement ratio below 0.5 experiences self-desiccation, leading to water loss. The water loss in concrete is mitigated by curing. This technique involves keeping the concrete saturated to maintain the necessary temperature and moisture conditions, to optimally fill the spaces in the cement...

Curing Methods01:26

Curing Methods

286
Concrete members with a small surface-to-volume ratio are cured by oiling and moistening the forms before casting the concrete member. These forms can be left in place for a prolonged period to prevent moisture loss, and can be wetted if made of a material suitable for wetting. If the forms are removed early, the concrete member is moistened and covered with polythene sheets to maintain moisture. For large horizontal concrete surfaces exposed to dry weather, a temporary covering is suspended...

Accelerated Curing of Concrete01:25

Accelerated Curing of Concrete

459
Accelerating concrete curing is achieved by applying heat and additional moisture. This process accelerates the hydration of the cement, resulting in an earlier strength gain in the concrete. Steam curing is a method wherein the concrete products are either transported through a chamber on a conveyor belt or encased in plastic, allowing steam at atmospheric pressure to circulate freely around them. This process begins with a phase of moist curing that typically lasts between 3 to 5 hours, after...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

7.7K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison

1.2K
In cases of acute poisoning, the primary objective is to prevent further absorption of the toxic substance into the body. Immediate interventions using various decontamination techniques targeting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can achieve this. Decontamination is crucial to prevent poison from entering the systemic circulation, which involves washing affected areas with water and mild soap and removing contaminated clothing. Once external decontamination is done, attention must be turned to...

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Thrombosis Research

Background:

  • Thrombus embolisation during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is linked to poorer patient outcomes.
  • Current guidelines lack specific recommendations for managing large thrombus burdens during primary PCI.
  • Understanding the implications and predictors of embolisation is crucial for improving STEMI treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical significance of thrombus embolisation in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
  • To identify angiographic predictors associated with thrombus embolisation.
  • To update the evidence on pharmacological and mechanical preventative strategies for large thrombus burdens.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on thrombus embolisation in STEMI.
  • Analysis of clinical implications and adverse outcomes.
  • Evaluation of angiographic predictors and preventative interventions.

Main Results:

  • Thrombus embolisation is a significant complication associated with adverse cardiovascular events post-primary PCI.
  • Specific angiographic features can predict the likelihood of embolisation.
  • Evidence for preventative strategies, including pharmacological and mechanical approaches, is evolving.

Conclusions:

  • Managing large thrombus burdens during primary PCI for STEMI requires careful consideration due to increased adverse outcomes.
  • Further research and guideline development are needed for effective preventative strategies.
  • Optimizing treatment for STEMI with high thrombus burden can potentially improve patient prognosis.
