A Few Cases of Compressed-Air Illness, with Remarks

Colorectal injury by compressed air--a report of 2 cases.

We report two colorectal trauma patients whose rectosigmoid region was ruptured due to a jet of compressed air directed to their anus while they were playing practical jokes with their colleagues in their place of work. It was difficult to diagnose in one patient due to vague symptoms and signs and due to being stunned by a stroke of the compressed air. Both patients suffered from abdominal pai...

Compressed Air Illness, or So-Called Caisson Disease

was to inflate the tunnel, as you would blow up a bladder, by corking up one end with a huge brick wall twelve feet thick and pumping in additional atmospheres. At the sea level the pressure of the atmosphere is well known to be about fifteen pounds per square inch ; but into this air-tight chamber the engineers pumped sometimes as much as an additional thirtyfive pounds to the square inch, so ...

A few remarks about symplectic filling

We show that any compact symplectic manifold (W,ω) with boundary embeds as a domain into a closed symplectic manifold, provided that there exists a contact plane ξ on ∂W which is weakly compatible with ω , i.e. the restriction ω|ξ does not vanish and the contact orientation of ∂W and its orientation as the boundary of the symplectic manifold W coincide. This result provides a useful tool for ne...
