PLMA, but we allowed the aspiration catheter to protrude 4 to 5 cm at the end of the drainage tube during insertion (Figure). The aspiration catheter acted as a guide, directing itself and the tip of the mask towards the upper esophageal sphincter. The catheter was easily advanced in the stomach where gastric fluid was aspirated. Subsequently, the catheter was removed and reinserted successfull...

ankle joint. There was a lacerated wound about two inches above the internal malleolus through which the tibia protruded. The protruding bone was stripped of its periosteum for about two inches. The fibula was also fractured, but did not protrude. On examining the wound it was found that the lower fragment of the tibia was comminuted, and the joint opened. There was considerable haemorrhage, bu...

A framework is presented to better characterize the role of individual differences in information processing style and their interplay with contextual factors in determining decision making quality. In Experiment 1, we show that individual differences in information processing style are flexible and can be modified by situational factors. Specifically, a situational manipulation that induced an...

Professional programmers need common coding conventions to assure co-operation and a degree of quality of the software. Novice programmers, however, easily forget issues of programming style in their programming coursework. In particular with large classes, students may pass several courses without learning elements of programming style. This is often due to shortage of tutor work to give stude...

This study compared two instruments while evaluating the effects of learning style on performance when using a computer-based instruction (CBI) system to teach introductory probability and statistics. The Gregorc Style Delineator (GSD) and the Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) were used to measure learning style. Results indicated that there was an effect of learning style when using the GSD:...

We examined how 67 parent–child dyads talked about 2 emotionally laden events: an injury resulting in emergency room treatment and an individually nominated, positively valenced experience. Group differences were found in parental reminiscing between positive and negative events such that parents asked a higher proportion of open-ended memory questions in conversations about negative experience...

Four experiments examined participants' ability to produce surface characteristics of sentences using an on-line story reading task. Participants read a series of stories in which either all, or the majority of sentences were written in the same "style," or surface form. Twice per story, participants were asked to fill in a blank consistent with the story. For sentences that contained three sty...
