Cosmic rays with energies between 10 and 10 eV exhibit a rich range of features. The energy spectrum changes index at at least two points, known as the “second knee” and the “ankle”. There may be a composition change in this energy regime as well, perhaps indicative of a shift in predominance from galactic to extragalactic sources. The Telescope Array Low-Energy Extension — planned for construc...

OBJECTIVE To determine if the use of botulinum toxin during cheiloplasty could help in the management of tension at the surgical wound level. INTERVENTIONS Five children younger than six months of age, who were born with complete cleft lip and palate, were treated with a dose of 10 units of botulinum toxin injected into the upper lip during surgery. Before the surgery, an electromyographic st...

The unilateral cleft lip is a complex deformity. Surgical correction has evolved from a straight repair through triangular and quadrilateral repairs to the Rotation Advancement Technique of Millard. The latter is the technique followed at our centre for all unilateral cleft lip patients. We operate on these at five to six months of age, do not use pre-surgical orthodontics, and follow a protoco...

A woman aged 60 years developed a Millard-Gubler syndrome after a diagnosis of a cavernous angioma in the median and paramedian areas of the pons. In this context, she presented a right VI nerve palsy, right conjugate gaze palsy, facial palsy and left hemiparesis. To improve the complete VI nerve palsy, we planned a modified transposition approach, in which procedure we made a partial transposi...

We extensively studied the epidemiology and time course of endemic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the Millard Fillmore Hospital, a 600-bed teaching hospital in Buffalo. The changeover from methicillin-susceptible S. aureus to MRSA begins on the first hospital day, when patients are given cefazolin as presurgical prophylaxis. Under selective antibiotic pressure, colonizing...

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. – Your patients with cystic fibrosis or other pulmonary conditions may ask you if and when it’s safe for them to fly on an airplane. How you respond can depend in part on their travel history, how long they will be exposed to increased cabin pressure, and if they are immunocompromised or have other risk factors for infection that are related to airborne pathogens, Dr. Susa...
