    Often, a surgeon must decide during the operation itself whether a repair or a replacement is the best course of action. For patients with the most common type of mitral valve disease, termed "degenerative" or "myxomatous" mitral valve disease, repair rates are very high and long term durability is excellent. [4]

    The Z1 PCBM ring (1) before installation in 1998. Viewed here from the PE side, the silicone (2) and fluorocarbon (3) O-rings are already installed under the inboard flange. The attachment bolt holes (4) are visible around the inboard flange, and indexing pins protrude to ensure that the seals compress uniformly as it is bolted into place. [6 ...

    A scuba regulator first stage has one or two high pressure ports upstream of all pressure-reducing valves to monitor the gas pressure remaining in the diving cylinder, provided that the valve is open. The standard connection is an O-ring sealed 7/16" UNF inside thread. [1] There are several types of pressure gauge.

    Video laryngoscopes are specialized fiberoptic laryngoscopes that use a digital video camera sensor to allow the operator to view the glottis and larynx on a video monitor. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Other "noninvasive" devices which can be employed to assist in tracheal intubation are the laryngeal mask airway [ 15 ] (used as a conduit for endotracheal ...

  6. Cavitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavitation

    In manufactured objects, it can occur in control valves, pumps, propellers and impellers. [2] [3] Non-inertial cavitation is the process in which a bubble in a fluid is forced to oscillate in size or shape due to some form of energy input, such as an acoustic field. The gas in the bubble may contain a portion of a different gas than the vapor ...

  7. Prosthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosthesis

    Small valves control the amount of hydraulic fluid that can pass into and out of the cylinder, thus regulating the extension and compression of a piston connected to the upper section of the knee. [43] The main advantage of a microprocessor-controlled prosthesis is a closer approximation to an amputee's natural gait.
