Munchausen syndrome as scorpion biting:a misdiagnosis
Factitious disorder as Munchausen syndrome is a time and money consuming condition that is presented with different signs and symptoms. In emergent situations, it is not a differential diagnosis with high priority, but when it becomes recurrent with atypical symptoms, factitious disorder and malingering should be considered as well. In this survey, we report an odd and interesting presentation ...
متن کاملManagement of Contamination Risks and Identification of Contamination Sources
Abstract: Some aspects of management of contamination risks based on monitoring contamination sources are under consideration. The case when direct measurements are impossible and the values of the contamination inputs should be estimated through observations of indirect indicators is studied. Standard mathematical models describing the diffusion of a contaminant in the form of partial differen...
متن کاملChlorofluorocarbon sources of environmental contamination.
The quantities of chlorofluorocarbons (FCC's) used commercially in the United States and globally are reviewed, and estimates of environmental release from the applications are made. The results indicate that sizable quantities of the FCC's that have been produced have not yet reached the environment and that regulation of U.S. applications would partly reduce, but not end, the possible destruc...
