Abstract Background Gastrointestinal perforation remains a common cause of acute abdomen in clinical practice. However, pre-pyloric secondary to ingested foreign body (FB) the adult population is rare. Nearly 80–90% bodies will pass through GI system spontaneously with only 1% requiring surgery. We report rare incidence patient unaware ingestion any body. Case presentation A 59 year old female ...

THE TITLE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE (SYSTEMATIC NAME: N-methyl-1-phenyl-propan-2-aminium chloride), C(10)H(16)N(+)·Cl(-), was orginally determined by Simon, Bocskei & Torok [Acta Pharm. Hung. (1992). 62, 225-230] and Yao, Kan & Wang [Huaxue Shijie (1999). 40, 568-570] at room temperature but no atomic coordinates are available for these determinations. The mol-ecule has inter-est with respect to biolog...

Phase shift exceeding tau/2 at 1 THz is demonstrated by using electrically controlled birefringence in a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal (E7) cell, 570 microm in thickness. The driving voltage required for a phase shift of 90 degrees is 125 V (rms). We demonstrate that the phase shifter works as an electrically switchable quarter-wave plate at 1 THz. The device can also be used a...

1. When Cerianthus membranaceus is illuminated upon one side, the animal turns its anterior portion toward the source of light. The number of degrees through which the animal turns is proportional to the logarithm of the intensity of the light. 2. A light intensity of between 250 m.c. and 15,000 m.c. is necessary to cause retraction of the animal. 3. The part of the spectrum which is most effec...

Heterojunction photoanodes, consisting of n-type crystalline Si(100) substrates coated with a thinB50 nm film of cobalt oxide fabricated using atomic-layer deposition (ALD), exhibited photocurrent-onset potentials of 205 20 mV relative to the formal potential for the oxygen-evolution reaction (OER), ideal regenerative solar-to-O2(g) conversion efficiencies of 1.42 0.20%, and operated continuous...
