The axial and radial temperature distributions of an induction heating workpiece considerably impact the subsequent nitriding process. To obtain a satisfactory temperature distribution, an equal pitch coil, a variable pitch coil, and a variable radius coil were designed. Furthermore, an induction heating model that exhibits electromagnetic and temperature field coupling was established; thus, the effects of the current density and frequency on the heating efficiency and temperature distribution of the workpiece were analyzed and compared. In addition, an induction heating experiment was conducted to verify the model. According to the numerical results, the variable radius coil can reduce the axial temperature difference in comparison with equal pitch coil and variable pitch coil. Hence, the workpiece heated using the variable radius coil can achieve a better temperature distribution when compared with those heated by the equal pitch coil and variable pitch coil, with appropriate current density and current frequency values.
Perinatal spontaneous hepatic haemorrhage is a very rare disease affecting pregnant women, particularly those on long-term dialysis, that has a high maternal and infant mortality rate. Most patients experience preeclampsia with haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets syndrome. Here, the case of a 35-year-old multigravida patient with known chronic kidney disease and chronic hypertension with uraemia, who developed spontaneous hepatic haemorrhage after caesarean section, is described. The patient experienced sudden massive circulatory failure, but hemodynamics were temporarily stabilized after emergency surgery. Following transfer to the intensive care unit for continued treatment, her blood pressure and haemoglobin level continued to drop. Selective hepatic artery embolization was performed on day 2 after delivery, and her vital signs gradually stabilized. On day 30 after delivery, the patient was discharged in a stable condition. The newborn recovered after therapy in neonatal intensive care for 2 months. The present case suggests that, for perinatal spontaneous hepatic haemorrhage, timely and accurate diagnosis, multidisciplinary management and determining the therapeutic approach according to clinical symptoms are essential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
