Earthquake-induced slope failure susceptibility in eastern Nepal

Diphtheria in eastern Nepal.

LHP had approximately 713,000 personyears of enrollment from 1993 to 1997. We identified 104 members with a C. difficile diagnosis on a claims record during this period. This group includes most of the patients in our original study. Most patients (62.5%) were identified exclusively from inpatient records; another 15.4% had both an inpatient and an outpatient record with a C. difficile diagnosi...

Tropical disease after earthquake: 2015 Nepal earthquake

The earthquake is usually a big disaster that causes several death and mortalities. Post earthquake crisis is an important situation for management. The recent 2015 Nepal earthquake is one of the most destructive earthquakes in history. In post earthquake crisis, lack of facilities, destroyed of infrastructures and limitation of transportation can be expected. This can superimpose the situation...

Simplified Procedures for Estimating Earthquake- Induced Deviatoric Slope Displacements

Simplified procedures are commonly employed to estimate seismic displacements of earth and waste fills. The landmark work of Makdisi and Seed (1978) has been widely adopted in practice. Although this work is widely used, it has a number of significant limitations such as decoupling the sliding block analysis from the seismic response analysis, use of a limited number of recorded earthquake moti...

Rhabdomyolysis in Earthquake Victims in Nepal

C rush injury leading to rhabdomyolysis is one of the dreaded complications of natural catastrophes such as earthquakes. Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome characterized by muscle necrosis and the release of intracellular muscle constituents, namely creatine phosphokinase, myoglobin, and various electrolytes into the circulation. Precipitation of myoglobin in the renal tubules with secondary obstruct...
