Electrostatic effects in the apparent contact line region under a vapor bubble

Evaporation and local interface shapes are investigated in the apparent contact line region formed when an isolated vapor bubble is attached to a heated substrate. The model takes into account the electrostatic effects due to presence of ions in the liquid, as appropriate for water and aqueous solutions. For the apparent contact line region under a stationary bubble, local interface shapes are obtained for different parameter values. The model is then applied to the case of an expanding vapor bubble

Effects of Postural Management on Hip Migration in Children with Cerebral Palsy : A Systematic Review

Purpose: To review the existing literature on the effects of postural management on hip migration in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using 5 databases. Quality of articles was assessed and study designs were appraised according to the American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine Systematic Review Method. Results: Eight of 655 identified studies were included, reporting postural management in children with cerebral palsy. Seven of 8 studies reported positive effects on hip migration after postural management interventions. However, level of evidence and quality of the articles were low. Conclusion: The evidence for postural management to prevent or reduce hip migration in children with cerebral palsy is limited by the lack of high-quality studies. Strong recommendations for clinical practice are not possible. Future high-quality research is crucial to improve our understanding of the effects of postural management to prevent hip migration in children with cerebral palsy
