The Income Maintenance Experiments have received renewed attention due to growing international interest in a Basic Income. Proponents viewed Negative Tax as replacement for traditional welfare with stronger work incentives and reduced poverty. However, existing labor supply estimates single parents are uniformly negative. We re-assess the experimental evidence find randomization failure two NI...

BACKGROUND Head lice infestation (HLI) is a vexing problem for pediatricians and families because lice are becoming resistant to approved antipediculosis agents. OBJECTIVE This study compared the efficacy of 3 different treatments for HLI and determined whether combination therapy reduced treatment failures.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) established diagnosis and treatment guidelines for pediculosis in 2002. Ideally, diagnosis should be based on the observation of a live louse. The presence of nits is also used by many people to positively diagnose an infestation, although a nit located farther from the scalp than 1 cm is unlikely to be viable. Other material on the scalp may be mistaken...

We present a systematic simple method for constructing determin-istic remote operations on single and multiple systems of arbitrary discrete dimensionality. These operations include remote rotations, remote interactions and measurements. The resources needed for an operation on a two-level system are one ebit and a bidirectional communication of two cbits, and for an n-level system, a pair of e...

pyrethrum (Roy, Ghosh and Chopra, 1941). The important point which came to light may be recapitulated. Pyrethrum prepared in the form of an extract by heating the powder in water or mixed with white vaseline proves fatal to lice, but fails to act on nits. This necessitates the continuation of the treatment during the whole period extending over the incubation period of eggs. Observations made i...

BACKGROUND Brucellosis is considered the world's most widespread zoonotic infection. It causes abortion and sterility in livestock leading to serious economic losses and has even more serious medical impact in humans, since it can be a trigger to more than 500,000 infections per year worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Haematopinus tuberculatus, a louse that can parasit...

This is a case report of acute organophosphate poisoning in a child treated with topical application of Diazinon-60 (WHO Class II toxicity) for head lice (pediculosis capitis). The patient presented with neurological symptoms and signs. After emergency respiratory and circulatory resuscitation the patient underwent dermal decontamination and was treated with atropine, high flow oxygen and prali...
