The protective role of lidocaine in surgeries involving trigeminal nerve manipulation: a meta-analysis of trigeminocardiac reflex prevention by Almonzer Al-Qiami (22393303)

“…<p dir="ltr">The trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) is activated when the trigeminal nerve is manipulated through mechanical pressure, traction, or irritation. This leads to a rapid increase in parasympathetic activity, resulting in a decrease in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure, which can potentially lead to bradycardia, and cardiac arrest, with a prevalence of 14.5% during neurointerventional procedures (8). …”

Exploring carbon dioxide sequestration in desalination reject brine via NaOH reaction: A kinetics study by Nafis Mahmud (14150004)

“…The effect of various operating parameters, such as the temperature, CO₂ concentration, NaOH dosage, brine salinity, CO₂ flowrates and inert particles volume percent were investigated by varying them within the range of 15–55 °C, 3–20 %, 6–16 g/L, 5–72 g/L, 1–5 L/min and 0–20%, respectively. The experimental data showed that the overall rate of CO₂ conversion is equal to the sum of the rates observed for Ca2+ and Mg²+ carbonation reactions and increases proportionally with the increase in CO₂ concentration. …”
