normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa spinal hematoma is a rare and usually severe neurological disorder that, without adequate treatment, often leads to death or permanent neurological deficit. epidural as well as subdural and subarachnoid hematomas have been investigated in some studies. a 66-year-old man referred to our hospital because of acute onset paraplegia and incontinency star...

OBJECTIVE To assess ultrasonography's (US) performance to detect the structural damage in the initial evaluation of early arthritis (EA) using the Etude et Suivides Polyarthrites Indifférenciées Récentes (ESPOIR) cohort. METHODS ESPOIR is a French, multi-centric EA cohort. Four centres assessed the structural damage by both X-ray and US examination at baseline. X-rays of hands and feet were r...

Let I[f ] = ∫ 1 −1 f(x) dx, where f ∈ C ∞(−1, 1), and let Gn[f ] = ∑n i=1 wnif(xni) be the n-point Gauss–Legendre quadrature approximation to I[f ]. In this paper, we derive an asymptotic expansion as n → ∞ for the error En[f ] = I[f ]−Gn[f ] when f(x) has general algebraic-logarithmic singularities at one or both endpoints. We assume that f(x) has asymptotic expansions of the forms f(x) ∼ ∞ ∑ ...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound (US) is a good first-line alternative for the diagnosis of bone fractures in adults as well as children. Our study shows that, compared to X-ray, in a resource-constrained environment, on-site US has a high sensitivity (98%) and specificity (96%) in the diagnosis of bone fractures. PURPOSE To compare the accuracy of on-the-spot US with conventional radiography in the scr...

Recent advances in advanced quantum chemistry and quantum chemistry interfaced with model potentials are discussed, with the primary focus on new scalable implementations in the GAMESS electronic structure suite of programs. Applications to solvent effects and surface science are discussed.

Asymptotic analytical solutions are derived for the configuration posed by Quon [Phys. Fluids, 26, 632 (1983)] for diffusion-driven flow in a tilted square container when the diffusive parameter R is small. The key regions of the asymptotic structure are outlined and leading-order solutions are determined in most of those regions. The analysis follows that in Page & Johnson [J. Fluid Mech., 629...

To the degree that citizens have participated in, or derived benefits from, social institutions that have helped cause serious, life-threatening, or rights-threatening environmental injustice (EIJ), this article argues that they have duties either to stop their participation in these institutions or to compensate for it by helping to reform them. (EIJ occurs whenever children, poor people, mino...
