BACKGROUND During atrial flutter, double potentials may be recorded at specific sites in the atria. It has been suggested that double potentials represent sequential activations at the center of the reentrant circuit. An alternative hypothesis is that double potentials represent electrical activity in an area of slow conduction. Understanding their mechanism is important because double potentia...

INTRODUCTION Compartment syndrome of the arm is rare, and delay in diagnosis or treatment can be devastating. A case is reported of compartment syndrome of the whole arm occurring in a remote location and arrival at hospital 15 hours after injury with good results despite delayed treatment. CASE REPORT A 26 year old male presented with a combined crush injury and compartment syndrome of the a...

proximal to the level of the constriction. Furthermore, it could cause a reflex spasm of the arteries of the opposite limb (thigh). He was at that time investigating the " crush syndrome " and its resultant anuria. Continuing his researches, he studied the effect of constriction of a lower limb upon the abdominal and in particular the renal vessels. In order to ensure meticulous accuracy he gat...

Abstract To this day, the trial of Pol Pot in July 1997 Anlong Veng remains an underexplored topic, possibly because it is seen as a parody justice organised by rival Khmer Rouge faction. Images event show old and fragile man who has to be supported guards meeting hall. Drawing on anthropologist Ashley Thompson’s study ‘substitute body king’, paper examines corporeal strategies at play display ...

The pudendal nerve innervates the external urethral sphincter (EUS) and is among the tissues injured during childbirth, which may lead to symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). To understand the mechanisms of injury and repair, urethral leak-point pressure (LPP) was measured 4 days, 2 wk, or 6 wk after bilateral pudendal nerve crush. Morphometric changes in the distal nerve and EUS were...

Le crush syndrome correspond à l'ensemble des manifestations systémiques secondaire à une destruction des fibres musculaires striées. Il survient le plus souvent dans le cadre d'accidents graves tels que les catastrophes, accidents de travail et accidents de la voie publique. Il est responsable d'une hypovolémie, état de choc, hyperkaliémie, hypocalcémie, acidose métabolique et d'insuffisance r...

THIS FIRST CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE (CPG) was produced through a collaboration of the SOMA Prolonged Field Care Working Group (PFCWG) and the Joint Trauma System (JTS) at the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) in San Antonio. Of note, this effort is the result from requests for information and guidance through the PFC website (PFCare.org) and from the Joint Special Operations ...
