Symptomatic subdural haematoma (SDH) in term infants typically occur following traumatic vaginal delivery. Emergency Caesarean Section (EmC/S) carried out after failed attempts at vaginal delivery may also be complicated by symptomatic SDH but spontaneous symptomatic SDH complicating Elective Caesarean Section (ElC/S) is a rarity. We describe a case of massive SDH in a term baby delivered by El...

AIMS AND METHODS We investigated the effect of silibinin-C-2',3'-dihydrogensuccinate (SDH) on primary human hepatocytes when exposed to ethanol for 14 days. At regular intervals, the medium was refreshed and liver enzymes and secreted protein in the medium were determined. RESULTS The ethanol-induced release of lactate dehydrogenase (at 34 mM ethanol) was completely blocked by 20 microM SDH. ...

SOCIAL DETERMINANTS DRAMATICALLY INFLUENCE HEALTH The United States falls behind other industrialized nations on most health indicators1 and remains plagued by stark health disparities.2 Efforts to understand the factors underlying these persistent inequalities and other shortcomings highlight the role of social determinants of health (SDH). SDH are the nonclinical factors, such as the socioeco...

Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) are very closely related standards, which came into being primarily as a means of transporting telephone traffic in large volumes utilizing optical fiber transmission systems. SONET was brought forth by Bellcore (Telcordia), with coordination from International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as well as other standards or...

The mitochondrial enzyme, succinate dehydrogenase, can be localized by specific histochemical stains. A naturally occurring variant which gives heat-labile enzyme is used to map a gene responsible for succinate dehydrogenase. New alleles at the sdh locus are produced by mutagenesis and most of these are found to be homozygous lethal to flies. However, clones of cells which are homozygous for th...

Domestic homicide is the most extreme form of domestic violence and one of the most common types of homicide. The objective was to examine differences between spontaneous domestic homicide and nondomestic homicide offenders regarding demographics, psychiatric history, crime characteristics, and neuropsychological status, utilizing neuropsychological test data from forensic examinations of 153 m...

ISSUES ADDRESSED To evaluate opportunities for action on social determinants of health (SDH) requires a historical perspective. Plans for addressing SDH should be developed with an awareness of past similar efforts and factors that contributed to their success or failure. METHODS Review of published historical literature on analysis and action on SDH, in particular from the Latin American soc...

New timing issues have been raised by Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), which implies new phenomena generating jitter and wander compared to those well known in legacy networks based on the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH). First, this paper reviews the bit and byte synchronization processes that take place in a SDH transmission chain: the mapping of PDH tributaries into SDH frames, th...

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) oxidises succinate to fumarate as a component of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and ubiquinone to ubiquinol in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Studies of SDH mutants have revealed far-reaching effects of altering succinate oxidation in plant cells. The plant SDH complex composition, structure and assembly are all beginning to be understood but the implica...

Chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) is a well-known disease entity and is traditionally managed with surgery. However, when associated with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), the treatment strategy ought to be modified, as classical treatment could lead to unwanted consequences. A 59-year-old man presented with a case of SIH that manifested as a bilateral chronic SDH. He developed fatal ex...
