to accidental count ratio (CAR) as high as 4000. The developed photon-pair source may find broad application experiment, we measure the coincidence to accidental count ratio (CAR) to characterize the correlated photon by the same pump pulse. In fact, it also includes the accidental count caused by multi-photon-pair ...

This book contains 43 selections. Some of the titles are: Cerebral Blood Flow Tomography by Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography Using /sup 133/Xe in Cerebrovascular Disease; Lipoproteins, Cholesterol Ester Transport and Atherogenesis; Genetic Polymorphisms and Atherosclerosis; and Studies on Lipolytic Enzymes in Cell Culture.

Studies were carried out in rats on effects of daily and intermittent exercise and its cessation on heart size and on cross-sectional luminal areas of extracoronary collateral (ECA) and coronary arteries (CA) and on capillary-ventricular muscle fiber rati...

BackgroundAccidental poisoning is one of the leading causes of injury in the United States, second only to motor vehicle accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rates of accidental poisoning mortality have been increasing in the past fourteen years nationally. In Texas, mortality rates from ...

Several cases of accidental subdural injection have been reported, but only few of them are known to be accidental intradural injection during epidural block. Therefore we would like to report our experience of accidental intradural injection. A 68-year-old female was referred to our pain clinic due to severe metastatic spinal pain. We ...

The common radiographic manifestations of abused children are discussed along with the mandated obligation of the doctor to recognize and report any reasonable suspicion of non-accidental trauma in his/her pediatric patients. ImagesFigure 1Figure 2Figure 3Figure 4Figure 5

A case of an accidental exposure to a high intensity Q-switched infrared laser beam is described. A paramacular burn, splinter hemorrhages on the disc margin, and vitreous hemorrhage were the initial findings. Later, a paramacular pucker developed, causing reduction in visual acuity to 6/12. Microvascular accident on the disc margin is assumed to be the ...

A summary is presented of results of medical examinations of inhabitants of the Marshall Islands during the 20-year period following the exposure of Rongelap people to radioactive fallout in 1954. The initial effect observed was beta burns of the skin of ...

A case is described in which accidental perforation of a tracheocele caused by endotracheal intubation resulted in a postoperative pneumomediastinum. The tracheocele, an extremely rare finding in clinical anaesthesia, was confirmed radiologically and for the first time demonstrated by computed tomography. PMID:7925920

The debris of modern living frequently finds its way into our waterways and down to the ocean. Some enters as intentional or accidental discharges from ships and platforms; the rest is transported to the sea by rivers, wind, sewers, and beachgoers. Given ...

Two pituitary tumors were diagnosed in a small population of Marshallese accidentally exposed to radioactive fallout in 1954. Endocrinologic findings in the exposed population, are reported and the possible relation of the tumors to radiation exposure and thyroid disease is discussed.

This book examines effects of two kinds of nuclear disasters (accidental release from a nuclear facility and nuclear attack) on buildings and urban environments. The report is drawn from worldwide sources, and uses such cases as Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Windscale, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and US weapons tests to support findings.

The purpose of this report is to disseminate information concerning the medical status of 253 Marshallese exposed to fallout radiation in 1954. This report discusses the medical care provided and the medical findings for the years 1988-1991. Details of th...

We report a case of extensive abnormal craniocervical bone pneumatization accidentally found in a patient without any history of trauma or surgery. The patient had only mild unspecific thoracic pain and bilateral paresthesia that did not correlate with computed tomography findings. PMID:21935883

The Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, accidentally brought into the United States, has become a major urban pest, causing damage to structures and live trees. Due to increasing restrictions on the use of conventional termiticides, attention is focused on finding safer alt...

Late effects of radiation in a Marshall Island population accidentally exposed to radioactive fall-out in 1954 are reviewed. The most significant findings have been in regard to the development of thyroid abnormalities which have occurred largely in child...

Head injury from physical abuse is unfortunately a common occurrence in our society. It is a major cause of mortality and long-term physical and psychological disability in children. Diagnosis of non-accidental head injury may be difficult, as most infants present with non-specific clinical findings and without external signs of trauma. Neuroimaging plays ...

The nursing diagnosis of hypothermia contains a variety of defining characteristics and an inconsistency in an exact temperature measurement for this diagnosis. A review of the literature from surgery, anesthesiology, and physiology identified criteria for three types of hypothermia: inadvertent, accidental, and intentional. In addition to the three types, three different core ...

To test young children's false belief theory of mind in a morally relevant context, two experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, children (N = 162) at 3.5, 5.5, and 7.5 years of age were administered three tasks: prototypic moral transgression task, false belief theory of mind task (ToM), and an "accidental transgressor" task, which measured a morally-relevant false belief ...

By emphasising the intentions underlying suicidal behaviour, suicidal death is distinguished from accidental death in standard philosophical accounts on the nature of suicide. A crucial third class of self?produced deaths, deaths in which agents act neither intentionally nor accidentally to produce their own deaths, is left out by such accounts. Based on ...

"Autoerotic asphyxia" typically involves an individual hanging or ligature, resulting in self-induced oxygen deprivation brought about by neck compression during sexual activity. Little about the so-called "atypical forms" of autoerotic asphyxia, which also involve compression of the chest or abdomen, has been published in forensic literature. When death results from such practices, they are ...

The information encoded in the polarization of a single photon can be transferred to a remote location by two-channel continuous-variable quantum teleportation. However, the finite entanglement used in the teleportation causes random changes in photon number. If more than one photon appears in the output, the continuous-variable teleportation accidentally produces clones of ...
