We assume that nucleon antinucleon annihilation is a fast process leading to a classical coherent pion pulse. We develop the quantum description of such pion waves based on the method of coherent states. We study the consequences of such a description for averages of charge types and moments of distributions of pion momenta with iso-spin and four-momentum conservation taken into account. We bri...

Gabapentin has been administered in placebo-controlled studies with a thrice daily (T.I.D.) schedule, because of its short half-life. However, clinical efficacy does not seem strictly related to plasma levels: a twice daily (B.I.D.) schedule might therefore be possible. The aim of our study was to verify if the conversion from a T.I.D. to a B.I.D. regimen affected the efficacy and safety of gab...

Livestock grazing can compromise the biotic integrity and health of wetlands, especially in remotes areas like Patagonia, which provide habitat for several endemic terrestrial and aquatic species. Understanding the effects of these land use practices on invertebrate communities can help prevent the deterioration of wetlands and provide insights for restoration. In this contribution, we assessed...

This report describes the derivation of a maximum allowable daily level (MADL) for cadmium (CAS # 71-43-28), a chemical listed under Proposition 65 as known to the State to cause reproductive toxicity, effective May 1, 1997. Exposure at a level 1,000 times greater than the MADL is expected to have no observable effect. Procedures for the development of Proposition 65 MADLs are provided in regul...

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) has stated that the best nutritional strategy for promoting optimal health and reducing the risk of chronic disease is to wisely choose a wide variety of foods. Seventy diets were computer analyzed from the menu of athletes or sedentary subjects seeking to improve the quality of micronutrient intake from food choices. All of these dietary analyses fell sh...

This retrospective chart review attempts to compare the utility, safety and efficacy of once daily (OD) versus divided dose (DD) lithium therapy in the prophylaxis of mood disorders. Sixty-six patients who met DSM-II1R criteria for mood disorders were grouped into those on OD Lithium (n=31) and those on DD lithium (n=35). The groups were matched on sociodemographic and clinical variables. The t...
