A 25 year-old Construction worker underwent neck laceration following penetrating neck trauma in a falling incident. The 3rd tracheal ring was injured which was initially repaired and the patient was discharged in good general condition. (Figure 1 shows the patient’s neck view after discharge from hospital).Two months later the patient was again admitted due to provocative coughing and a metal ...

We develop a new framework for analysing finite connected, oriented graphs of valency four, which admit a vertex-transitive and edge-transitive group of automorphisms preserving the edge orientation. We identify a sub-family of ‘basic’ graphs such that each graph of this type is a normal cover of at least one basic graph. The basic graphs either admit an edge-transitive group of automorphisms t...

A 45-year-old female with no known past medical history presented to the trauma unit as an unrestrained passenger in a motor vehicle accident. On arrival, her GCS was 8 and she intubated. Focused Assessment Sonography for Trauma (FAST) exam negative, but initial chest imaging (Figure 1A Figure 1B) revealed right-sided fractures of first through seventh ribs, fracture left rib bilateral consolid...

Figure Legend: Figure 1 Kidney, Papilla Necrosis in a male F344/N rat from a chronic study. Early necrosis of the papilla shows loss of cellular detail and staining affinity. Figure 2 Kidney, Papilla Necrosis in a male F344/N rat from a subchronic study. A portion of the necrotic renal papilla is sloughed off into the renal pelvis.

A novel version of the Mental Rotations Test (MRT) that alternated the standard block figures with three-dimensional human figures was administered to 99 men and 129 women. Women and men differed predictably in their retrospective reports of childhood play and digit ratios, a putative measure of prenatal androgen action. Compared to the block figure items, human figure items on the modified MRT...

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to compare the balance performance of control subjects and varsity figure skaters after spinning on a turntable for 6 seconds. It was hypothesized figure skaters would demonstrate better balance control after spinning. Methods: 9 female figure skaters and 9 female control subjects stood as still as possible for 15 seconds on a Kistler force pla...

Female physical attractiveness has been widely related to waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and body weight (BW). The present study was conducted to examine the role of hemispheric specialization in the perception of physical attractiveness. Drawings of female figures that differed in BW (underweight, normal and overweight) and WHR (0.7 and 1.0) were presented to both male and female subjects using the ...

The sensitivity of the mammalian visual system to biological motion cues has been shown to be general and acute [1–3]. Human observers, in particular, can deduce higher-order information, such as the orientation of a figure (which way it is facing), its gender, emotional state, and even personality traits, on the basis only of sparse motion cues. Even when the stimulus information is confined t...
