Patients: 921 patients > 18 years of age (mean age 65 y, 68% men) who were hospitalized with severe, acute upper GI bleeding (hematemesis, bloody nasogastric aspirate, or melena). Exclusion criteria included massive exsanguinating or lower GI bleeding; recent trauma or surgery; Rockall score = 0 (low rebleeding risk) with hemoglobin (Hgb) level > 12 g/dL; or an acute coronary syndrome, symptoma...

A microbroth dilution method was used to measure the MICs of cefpiramide (SM 1652), cefotaxime, moxalactam, ceftazidime, cefoperazone, ceftriaxone, piperacillin, and mezlocillin against 921 isolates of gram-negative (701) and gram-positive (220) bacteria. The activity of cefpiramide was equivalent to those of piperacillin and mezlocillin against members of the family Enterobacteriaceae and gram...

Several RSA-type cryptosystems based on singular cubic curves have been proposed in recent years (cf. Koyama, Lecture notes in Computer Science, vol. 921, Springer, Berlin, 1995, pp. 329–339; Kuwakado, IEICE Trans. Fund. E78-A (1995) 27–33; Koyama, IEICE Trans. Fund. E77-A (1994) 1309–1318). We show that these schemes are equivalent and demonstrate that they are insecure if a linear relation is...

Abstract Aim In September 2020, our Renal and Transplant unit introduced a new formalised protocol for Pre-Operative Assessment Clinics (POACs), led by SHO-grade junior doctors. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of protocol. Method All elective operations including dialysis access procedures, transplant urology, parathyroidectomies hernia repairs conducted single renal replacement the...

Adhesive strength is of critical importance for cryogenic laser-fusion targets when bonding the plasma-polymerized polystyrene copolymer plastic target shell to the support stalk (a narrow-diameter fiber of silicon carbide or Zylon PBO). Norland 68 and Dymax 921 gel, two rapid-curing, low-to-medium viscosity UV curable adhesives, are currently used for target fabrication depending on which fibe...
