The authors describe two women with pelvic pain, long-term use of an intrauterine device, and a mass due to Actinomyces israelii. diagnostic imaging findings were nonspecific but included effect mucosal irregularity the rectosigmoid colon at barium enema examination complex masses inflammatory changes computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging. Radiologists should be aware this potentially lethal curable condition.

Abstract The vegetation/soil relationships of six tall-tussock (Chionochloa) species are described for the high rainfall environment Murchison Mountains in Fiordland. Soil profile features, bulk densities, and chemical properties including inorganic phosphorus fractions soils at a range sites. Field collections shoots were divided into three components analysed selected macro-elements. For shoot dry weight order: C. flavescens (3.77 g) > pallens rubra crassiuscula, teretifolia, acicularis...

Abstract The effects of cutting narrow-leaved snow-tussock (Chionochloa rigida (Raoul) Zotov) to d-ifferent stubble heights and at different times were studied on the Craigieburn Mountains in Canterbury. Growth leaves was directly related height. Flowering promoted by cutting. Fertiliser trials for a limited period showed no growth snow-tussock. significance these findings soil vegetation conservation objectives such localities is discussed.

Abstract Concentrations in sheaths, green blades, and dead tips, weights per shoot, of P, N, S, K, Mg, Na, Ca are reported for seven species Chionochloa from sites throughout the South Island. Species means C. flavescens, macra, rigida, rubra comparable with those obtained previous studies eastern pallens has concentrations P N most species, but higher than juncea. highest Mg blades (1.08 mg/g) crassiuscula lowest (0.56 mg/g). There wide inter-specific differences Na: (1.23 mg/g), pallens, >...

Abstract Shoots of Chionochloa flavescens and C. pallens were dissected in a way appropriate to the manner diet selection by takahe. The outer living leaves removed lower shoot, “butt”, was divided into three components. Water-soluble sugars macro-elements P, S, N, K, Na, Mg, Ca, generally increase concentration down butt both species. levels water-soluble are similar those pasture grasses, but macro-elements, except Na low. animo acid composition is that herbage proteins general; sulphur...

Abstract Experiments are reported from tussock grassland soils in which different grasses were grown as spaced plants existing turf, sown cultivated and uncultivated soil, pot cultures. Differences demonstrated among response to sulphur when nitrogen supply is improved. Cocksfoot ryegrass showed a applied fe,rtilisers after cultivation, whereas resident grasses, principally sweet vernal brown top, no gain yield cultivation. Effects of cultivation herbicide treatment on the availability...

As elsewhere in the world, agencies of local and central government New Zealand have renewed pressure on high-country pastoral farmers to ensure that their land use is sustainable. However, policy innovations for conservation often cut across path along which were innovating toward sustainable development (Figure 1). Sustained consultation some parts world has revealed highland people not short practical wisdom or ideals sustainability. Such deep sharing understanding values affected an...

The behaviour of Merino wether hoggets grazing an existing management experiment at Tara Hills High Country Research Station was studied during summer 198111982. compared three stocking rates and systems (continuous, two paddock intermittent grazing, six rotational). daytime distribution activity the hoggets, dung distribution, Olsen-P levels topsoils were recorded on ten altitudinal strata within each nine treatment areas. Dung frequency more closely correlated to than either resting or...

Background: IV rt-tPA is standard of care in patients presenting within 4.5 hours acute ischemic stroke (AIS) symptom onset. Despite its short half-life, concerns regarding the safety early mobilization remain, which may delay patients’ time to rehabilitation evaluation. We previously demonstrated mobilization, using stratification based on severity. This study aims compare from mobility order PT/OT evaluation and total length stay between whose orders were congruent with institutional...

Abstract Soils and shoots from opposite ends of a topographically controlled drainage gradient were analysed. Soil bulk densities nutrients, especially inorganic P fractions, decrease Chionochloa flavescens to C. rubra sites down the gradient. Between-site differences in macro-element concentrations within are small, apart higher Na sheaths rubra, K Mg green blades flavescens. Major changes status related shoot dry weight, which drops several-fold rubra. Macro-element Mt Kaiparoro similar...

Abstract Concentrations of macro-elements, especially Na, Mg, and Ca, are higher in the sheaths, green blades, dead tips Chionochloa pallens than C. flavescens, on Tararua Range. Kaweka Range has lower Na concentrations Mg Ca concentrations. flavescens is distinguished from eastern South Island by low ea blades. Wide within-species differences shoot size both species were not associated with similar wide element concentrations, although there occasional differences. Variation within appear...

Abstract Macro-element concentrations of Chionochloa rubra on volcanic soils are similar to previously reported in C. from high country yellow-brown earths the South Island. Exceptions Ca and N which lower, Mg is very low outside range Island populations. Aluminium-bound P dominant fraction young, weakly weathered beneath North Bray No. 1 P, Olsen green blade decrease with altitude Mt. Ruapehu, closely positively correlated within Island-wide collections.

The symposium acknowledges the significance of South Island high country and its pastoral use. Interest is focused throughout on practices, even though both origins solutions to present situation are much wider in scope. first paper itself outlines physical, ecological, economic, technological cultural influences at work over history prehistory give rise situation. It notes role market forces, not just affecting wool prices traditional industry renaissance recent decades, but also demand for...

Propofol is a commonly used anesthetic, particularly in neurocritical care settings, but it can also be associated with an infusion syndrome. Careful assessment of risk factors for propofol-related syndrome children help early recognition and conversion to alternate anesthetic medications. Although muscle biopsy traditionally confirm the diagnosis, MRI head may helpful based on characteristic white matter findings.
