Collapsible Anechoic Treatment for High‐Intensity ASD Facility

Anechoic vs. Semi Anechoic Rooms

Knots in Collapsible and Non-Collapsible Balls

We construct the first explicit example of a simplicial 3-ball B15,66 that is not collapsible. It has only 15 vertices. We exhibit a second 3-ball B12,38 with 12 vertices that is collapsible and not shellable, but evasive. Finally, we present the first explicit triangulation of a 3-sphere S18,125 (with only 18 vertices) that is not locally constructible. All these examples are based on knotted ...

Sulforaphane treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), characterized by both impaired communication and social interaction, and by stereotypic behavior, affects about 1 in 68, predominantly males. The medico-economic burdens of ASD are enormous, and no recognized treatment targets the core features of ASD. In a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial, young men (aged 13-27) with moderate to severe ASD rece...

Thoracoscopic ASD closure is a reliable supplement for percutaneous treatment.

OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility and effectiveness of endoscopic atrial septal defect (ASD) closure when percutaneous ASD closure is impossible or has failed. PATIENTS Between March 1997 and February 2003, 74 patients (63% female, mean (SD) age 44 (16) years) underwent an endoscopic ASD closure. Median preoperative New York Heart Association functional class was I. Clinical and echocard...

Versatile collapsible rabbit cage.

The cage was designed for holding and breeding rabbits, and can also be used for holding cats for short periods. Single cages can be joined back to back: this larger cage can also be used for breeding rabbits, and the longer-term holding of cats. When not in use cages fold into compact units, saving storage space and labour, as many cages may be autoclaved, boiled or steamed at once. Repair, ma...
