Who cares for the nation’s infants and toddlers? For one of every two childre n under age three whose mother works, the face of the caregiver belongs to a family member—a parent or a relative. This pattern has held steady for decades, despite dramatic changes in families and child care options. Mothers (and grandmothers) have increasingly entered the labor forc e , d i v o rce and single parent...

We suggest a new, alternative algebraic method for computation the quantities 1 ∇la i jk, 2 ∇la i jk and d i jklm by means of the embedding of local loops into Lie groups.

Pyogenic bacteria such as the Staphylococcus Aureus characteristically produce a circumscribed area of tissue necrosis leading to abscess formation. An abscess consists of (i) a central cavity containing pus, which is essentially liquefied necrotic tissue along with dead poiymorphs and bacteria (many of the latter are alive) and (ii) a surrounding wall, the inner layer of which is again necroti...

a r k a p D a e c o a d i i a c t fi At 40 years of age, American men and women have a 1 in 5 lifetime risk of the development of heart failure (HF); by the latest estimates, there are 5,700,000 people in the United States who already have a diagnosis of the disease. Moreover, by the year 2030, it is predicted that an additional 3 million Americans will have HF, representing an astounding 25% i...

A short cut review was carried out to establish whether the seldinger “over the wire” technique is better than other techniques of pneumothorax drainage. Altogether 28 papers were found using the reported search, of which three presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results, ...
