    Correction of refractive errors by glasses; Prism therapy (if tolerated, to manage diplopia) Vision Therapy; Patching (mainly to manage amblyopia in children and diplopia in adults) Botulinum toxin injection; Surgical correction; Surgical correction of the hypertropia is desired to achieve binocularity, manage diplopia and/or correct the ...

  3. Contraction alkalosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction_alkalosis

    Contraction alkalosis refers to the increase in blood pH that occurs as a result of fluid losses (volume contraction). The change in pH is especially pronounced with acidic fluid losses caused by problems like vomiting.

  4. Borda–Carnot equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borda–Carnot_equation

    In fluid dynamics the Borda–Carnot equation is an empirical description of the mechanical energy losses of the fluid due to a (sudden) flow expansion. It describes how the total head reduces due to the losses.

  5. Hypovolemic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemic_shock

    Fluid loss. Hypovolemic shock results from depletion of intravascular volume, whether by extracellular fluid loss or blood loss. The body compensates with increased sympathetic tone resulting in increased heart rate, increased cardiac contractility, and peripheral vasoconstriction.

  6. Hypovolemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemia

    Hypovolemia, also known as volume depletion or volume contraction, is a state of abnormally low extracellular fluid in the body. This may be due to either a loss of both salt and water or a decrease in blood volume .

  7. Projection method (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_method_(fluid...

    In fluid dynamics, The projection method is an effective means of numerically solving time-dependent incompressible fluid-flow problems. It was originally introduced by Alexandre Chorin in 1967 as an efficient means of solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.

  8. Volume contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_contraction

    Volume contraction of intracellular fluid may occur after substantial fluid loss, since it is much larger than ECF volume, or loss of potassium (K +) see section below. ICF volume contraction may cause disturbances in various organs throughout the body. Dependence on lost solutes

  9. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    Pressure-correction method is a class of methods used in computational fluid dynamics for numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations normally for incompressible flows. Common properties [ edit ] The equations solved in this approach arise from the implicit time integration of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations .

  10. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    In fluid dynamics, the Darcy–Weisbach equation is an empirical equation that relates the head loss, or pressure loss, due to friction along a given length of pipe to the average velocity of the fluid flow for an incompressible fluid. The equation is named after Henry Darcy and Julius Weisbach.

  11. Partial volume (imaging) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_volume_(imaging)

    The partial volume effect can be defined as the loss of apparent activity in small objects or regions because of the limited resolution of the imaging system. It occurs in medical imaging and more generally in biological imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
