Although glucocorticoids are often used as an adjunct to epinephrine to treat anaphylactic shock, glucocorticoids can also be a rare cause of anaphylactic shock. Only through the administration of a challenge dose of different glucocorticoids and different substrates that glucocorticoids are delivered in can the determination be made about which glucocorticoid or accompanying solvent may be the...

Particle acceleration at non-relativistic shocks can be very efficient, leading to the appearance of non-linear effects due to the dynamical reaction of the accelerated particles on the shock structure and to the non-linear amplification of the magnetic field in the shock vicinity. The value of the maximum momentum pmax in these circumstances cannot be estimated using the classical results obta...

A study of techniques for inducing acute pancreatitis in rats has shown that oil pancreatitis is the most consistent. All methods result in increased fibrinogen catabolism, which is in part due to disseminated intravascular coagulation and in part due to the inflammatory reaction in the pancreas. There is also increased albumin catabolism. Increased fibrin embolization to the lungs results in a...

In this paper, we extend the high order finite-difference method with subcell resolution (SR) in [34] for two-species stiff one-reactionmodels to multispecies and multireaction inviscid chemical reactive flows, which are significantly more difficult because of the multiple scales generated by different reactions. For reaction problems, when the reaction time scale is very small, the reaction zo...

High resolution numerical simulations used to study the mechanism of deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT). The computations solved two-dimensional, time-dependent, reactive Navier-Stokes equations including the effects of compressibility, molecular diffusion, thermal conduction, viscosity and detailed chemical kinetics for the reactive species with subsequent chain branching, production ...

UNLABELLED We describe a patient with salmonella enteritidis meningitis and unknown HIV infection. SETTING A 14-bed adult intensive care unit in a tertiary hospital.The patient was brought to the emergency department with fever, nuchal rigidity and confusion. A first cerebrospinal fluid examination was non diagnostic. After a short period of improvement the patient developed septic shock. A s...

From January 2013 to January 2015, 19 patients of traumatic hemothorax with hemorrhagic shock were treated in our department by thoracoscopic surgery combined with autologous blood transfusion. This study retrospectively analyzed the therapeutic effect and shared our experience. The average amount of blood transfused back was 662.41 ml ± 269.15 ml. None of the patients developed transfusion rea...

The relation of two phenomena involved in the mechanism of recovery following protein shock therapy is shown in these experiments to be due to changes that concern the lymph rather than the serum. The first of these, the increase in the rate of flow of the lymph, has been suggested by Teague and McWilliams as a possible factor in recovery from infection when due to bacteria proliferating in the...

Understanding the phenomena of shock propagation and of turbulent mix induced by Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability growth is of critical importance for ignition and high gain in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Capsule assembly and hot-spot formation require careful timing of multiple shocks to maximize hot-spot heating while minimizing heating of the main fuel. Unmitigated mixing of the main ...

• We unravel a liquidity hoarding effect of bank idiosyncratic funding shocks. Shocks affecting headquarters lead to by regional branches. This triggers an asset reallocation in which branches’ lending decreases. The identification strategy is based on novel micro-data and diff-in-diff model. geographical fragmentation deposit limits shock-offsetting possibilities. investigate whether interbank...
