The clinical course of pneumothorax and its allied conditions was studied in 34 newborn infants who presented over a 2 1/2-year period. We found an overall incidence of 3/1000 live births. 11 term infants without obvious pulmonary pathology presented early (9 within minutes of birth); 6 of these had aspirated meconium or blood. The remaining 23 were preterm infants with hyaline membrane disease...

The effect of lattice mismatch on the chemical ordering of epitaxial FePt films was studied. The results showed that the lattice constant scd of the FePt films decreased with increasing lattice mismatch « from about 2.23% to 6.33%. Upon further increase of « to about 8.8%, c increased. On the other hand, the variation of the lattice constant sad of the FePt films showed a reversal behavior to t...

This study, compared survivorship for first episodes of cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage which occurred in residents of Rochester, Minnesota during 5-year periods from 1945-49 through 1975-79. The progressive improvement in long-term survival following cerebral infarction which occurred between 1945-49 and 1970-74 was such that a higher proportion of pat...

UNLABELLED Survival for mesothelioma has been shown to be poor, with marginal improvement over time. Recent advances in the understanding of pathophysiology and treatment of mesothelioma may impact therapy to improve survival that may not be evident from available clinical trials that are often small and not randomized. Therapies may affect survival differently based on mesothelioma location (p...

Spinal arachnoiditis is a rare condition. Eighty cases, diagnosed during a period when 7600 spinal contrast investigations were undertaken, have been reviewed. The majority had suffered a previous spinal condition, the most common being lumbar disc disease. There has been a change in the distribution of arahnoiditis with the lumbar region now most frequently involved. This accounts for the pers...

fitzhugh-nagumo (fhn) model is a famous reaction-diffusion system which first introduced for the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve fiber. this model is also considered as an abstract model for pattern formation. here, we have used the cellular automata method to simulate the pattern formation of the fhn model. it is shown that the pattern of this model is very similar to those of ...

criticizing the drawbacks of modern societies, lyotard glorifies the changing of meta-narration to show lack of such narrations totally. for him such a condition or changing of sub-narrations to periphery ones gives him an opportunity to self-expression and survival chance, which by intention to solidarity, stability, etc. they have been deprived of their identity, but keeping eternality of suc...
