Background and Aims: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is common in infants and young children. In infants younger than one year old it may cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia which requires hospitalization. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of the disease will help proper treatment of the disease and prevent further complications. Materials and Methods: Specimen taken from respiratory ...

Out of a total number of judicial autopsies handled in the Department of Legal Medicine, Kurume University School of Medicine during the period from Jan. 1963 to Mar. 1987, the traffic accidental death was recorded 278 cases including 216 cases for male and 62 cases for female respectively being specified as followings: 1) Victims-pedestrians: 168 cases, violent falling from two-wheelers (bicyc...

Submitted: Nov 12, 2013; Accepted: Dec 18, 2013; Published: Dec 22, 2013 Abstract: In this article, we have employed an enhanced (G′/G)-expansion method to find the exact solutions first and then the solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear generalized shallow water wave equation. Here we have derived solitons, singular solitons and periodic wave solutions through the enhanced (G′/G)-expansion ...

The Abdominal Incision The caudal ventral median celiotomy is the most popular approach because it is simple and allows access to most of the equine abdomen. This incision extends for 25 cm or more from a point 2.5 cm cranial to the umbilicus. A more cranial approach would also be indicated if preoperative information suggested a lesion in the cranial part of the abdomen, such as diaphragmatic ...

Cost of Colic Surgery (USA) The cost of colic surgery in the USA varies considerably between clinics, probably for reasons related to wealth of the clientele and value of horses in the practice area. Colic surgery in most clinics is the second most expensive surgery after repair of long bone fracture, and for good reason. It places enormous demands on personnel, time and resources, and is a lif...

The pathophysiologic events that take place during an acute abdominal crisis include bowel distension, bowel ischemia, and alterations in tissue perfusion. The classic pathological degeneration is initiated early in the disease by changes in the microvascular permeability, endothelial cell changes, neuron response, and neutrophil activation. Reperfusion injury occurs as part of the disease proc...

The design and fabrication of an integrated waveguide polarizer in z-cut LiNbO3 crystals are reported. Singlepolarization guiding is achieved by careful selection of Ti diffusion parameters exploiting the transverse electric/ transverse magnetic TE/TM refractive index anisotropy. Fabricated Ti:LiNbO3 waveguide polarizers of 1.5 cm length exhibit less than 0.2-dB/cm propagation loss at TM and 33...
