Myxedema coma or hypothyroid crisis is an endocrine emergency and needs ICU management. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is another medical emergency which needs high degree of clinical suspicion else mortality can be high. There is a paradox in co existence of myxedema coma and NMS. While one is hypometabolic state another is hypermetabolic state and both can be precipitated by antipsychot...

Cache only memory architecture (COMA), even with its additional memory overhead, can incur longer inter/intra-node communication latency than cache-coherent nonuniform memory access (CC-NUMA). Some studies on COMA suggest that the inclusion property applied between the processor cache and its local memory is one of the major causes of less-than-desirable performance. The inclusion property crea...

ComA is a response regulator protein of Bacillus subtilis which is required for the transcription of several genes which are involved in late-growth expression and in responses to environmental stress. Among these genes are degQ, gsiA, and srfA. The last is an operon needed for the development of genetic competence, surfactin production, and normal sporulation. We show here that partially purif...

THE COMPLEXITIES of the diabetic syndrome are underlined by the fact that diabetic coma may occur without obvious ketoacidosis. The position has recently been summarised in a leading article in the British Medical Journal (1965). To the first two comas met with in diabetes, namely diabetic coma with ketosis and hypoglycaemic coma due to excess insulin, must then be added a third type of coma. T...

DICE is a shared-bus multiprocessor based on a distributed shared-memory architecture, known as cache-only memory architecture (COMA). Unlike previous COMA proposals for large-scale multiprocessing, DICE utilizes COMA to effectively decrease the speed gap between modem high-performance microprocessors and the bus. DICE tries to optimize COMA for a shared-bus medium, in particular to reduce detr...

Etiology of coma and clinical status at the time of presentation are likely predictors of outcome in cases of non-traumatic coma. The present study included of clinical profile, etiology of non-traumatic coma and immediate outcome in terms of survival and death in pediatric patients. This was prospective hospital based cohort study undertaken over a period of one year. A detailed history of all...

conclusions with regards to the predictive strength of the combination of gcs and iss, a predictive system for analyzing the clinical outcome may be provided. results 15496 traumatic patients referred to the hospital and traumatic deaths occurred in 289 patients. blunt trauma accounted for 286 (99%) of death and penetrating trauma for only 1%. our findings concerning the injury pattern, correla...

BACKGROUND Coma is a dynamic condition that may have various causes. Important changes may take place rapidly, often with consequences for treatment. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief overview of EEG patterns in comas with various causes, and indicate how EEG contributes in an assessment of the prognosis for coma patients. METHOD The article is based on many years of clinical ...

Non-traumatic coma in childhood is an important pediatric emergency. It can result from a wide range of primary etiologies. Objective: To study the etiology and clinical profile of pediatric non-traumatic coma and to determine the clinical signs predictive of outcome. Setting: Pediatric emergency department (PED) at a tertiary care university teaching pediatric hospital from September 2007 to J...

We present wide-field imaging of the 2007 outburst of Comet 17P/Holmes obtained serendipitously by SuperWASP-North on 17 nights over a 42-night period beginning on the night (2007 October 22–23) immediately prior to the outburst. Photometry of 17P’s unresolved coma in SuperWASP data taken on the first night of the outburst is consistent with exponential brightening, suggesting that the rapid in...
