Earthquakes represent a significant hazard to human life, having claimed nearly quarter of million lives worldwide and strongly affecting an additional 125 people between 1998 2017 (WHO). The Himalayan Front is especially active continental collision zone spanning over 2500 kilometers across five countries, with its Frontal Thrust (HFT) producing surface ruptures at the southern leading edge front (Kumar et al, 2001). Although recent earthquakes have produced along eastern western sections...
Prolonged jaundice (PJ) in healthy term neonates is common and frequently benign. It can, however, be the earliest manifestation of underlying liver disease. Its management requires a balanced approach, avoiding over-investigation well babies while ensuring early identification those with pathology. Currently marked heterogeneity exists assessment PJ. Over two-year period we prospectively audited PJ two Level 3 neonatal units prior to after introduction rationalized investigation algorithm...
In 2008 the Organ Donation Taskforce published its recommendations for increasing organ donation in UK by 50% over 5 years. Bolton NHS Trust has addressed problem of low rates amalgamating Bereavement and Services introducing a trigger to refer automatically all potential donors regional transplant donor co-ordinators. We audited ability new service deliver aims Taskforce. Following changes provision number tissue rose from six 2002 246 2007. same period solid remained unchanged. The...
Chronic lung disease of prematurity (CLD) can be classified using the chest radiograph taken on day 28 into type 1 (homogeneous opacification) or 2 (the presence cystic change) and it has been suggested that pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) leads to development CLD. To further study this relationship we examined radiographs days 1-7, 14, 21 28, 202 infants treated at Liverpool Maternity Hospital between January 1980 December 1989 who developed 39% (54/137) CLD had suffered from PIE...
Summary The use of very low calorie diets under medical supervision is becoming increasingly popular in the UK, as incidence obesity continues to rise. We report case torsades de pointes developing during such a diet. Torsades has been reported association with past but our knowledge, this first since introduction newer, nutritionally complete versions review intensive care management recurrent resistant standard therapy and its relationship dieting obesity.
Methods by which patients can artificially produce raised peak flow measurements have been described. We recently observed a patient manipulating the meter in way that had not described before. A study was therefore undertaken to determine if this technique could repeatedly clinically significant changes readings. Fifteen adults, using mini-Wright meter, made five correct followed manipulated under observation. Significant increases were 14 of 15 subjects. The mean increase rate incorrect...
