Terascale Ground Motion Simulation Using Octree-Based Adaptive Mesh
A dual passage adapter for providing an inlet-outlet port system that couples a medical liquid bottle to a medical gas source. The adapter has a snap lock feature which permanently connects it to the medical liquid bottle so the adapter can be used with only one bottle to reduce risk of cross-contamination among patients. Gas and liquid are mixed in the bottle and exit through the adapter as humidified gas which a patient breathes during inhalation therapy.
Background ::: Spontaneously metastatic xenograft models of cancer are infrequent and the few that exist are resource intensive. In xenografts, caliper measurements can be used to determine primary tumor burden and response to therapy but in metastatic disease models determination of the presence of metastatic disease, metastatic burden, and response to therapy are difficult, often requiring serial necropsy. In this study we characterized the development of visceral metastases in a patient derived xenograft model (PDXM) using in vivo imaging.
