Repeat surfactant therapy for postsurfactant slump

Parallell Slump

Samandrag Slumptalsgenerering er eit av dei mest fundamentale og klassiske problema i informatikk. Der er ei lang rekkje kjende gode slumptalsgeneratorar for sekvensielle program. Parallell programmering stiller nye krav til slumptalsgeneratorane, og ulike parallelliseringsparadigme har ulike behov. Når me krev at programmet skal vera deterministisk utelukker me mange av dei vanlegaste løysinga...

Artificial surfactant therapy for hyaline membrane disease

The demonstration that the lungs of infants who died with hyaline membrane disease (HMD) had abnormal surface properties' prompted a number of attempts to treat the condition by administration of material with surface tension-lowering properties. The substance mainly used for this purpose during the period 1964-7 was synthetic dipalmitoyllecithin (DPL) prepared as an aerosol either in a mixture...

The slump test.

The Slump Test is an inexpensive, easily administered assessment tool that can help record qualitative changes in sitting in an objective manner. Objective data are useful to document treatment efficacy over time. Over the past 2 years, the Slump Test has been administered at our clinic to a varied population with respect to age, neuromuscular condition, and functional abilities. At the time of...
