A total of 100 accident and emergency (A&E) departments in the UK responded to a questionnaire about their use of the pneumatic anti-shock garment (PASG). Less than one in 10 departments used PASG in their prehospital care system, less than one in five departments used PASG during in-patient care, and there was wide variation in PASG usage in those situations for which their use is recommended ...

A novel dual-band/dual-mode compact hybrid coupler which acts as a dual-band branch-line at the lower band and rat-race higher is presented in this paper. One of most interesting features proposed structure that outputs each mode operation are on same side. This unique design implemented using artificial transmission lines (ATLs) based open split ring resonators (OSRR). The low-cost miniaturize...

Interaction with everyday objects requires the representation of conceptual object properties, such as where and how an object is used. What are the neural mechanisms that support this knowledge? While research on semantic dementia has provided evidence for a critical role of the anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) in object knowledge, fMRI studies using univariate analysis have primarily implicated...

Sir In reference to the article on teaching trauma management in the accident and emergency department (Williams et al., 1991), we are concerned that it may perpetuate the myth that junior staff can and indeed should continue to manage critically injured patients. Many studies have shown that preventable trauma deaths can be reduced from 20-30% to less than 5% with appropriate organizational an...

Ankle instantaneous axis of rotation (IAR) measurements represent a more complete parameter for characterizing joint motion. However, few studies have implemented this measurement to study normal, injured, or pathological foot ankle biomechanics. A novel testing protocol was developed to simulate aspects of in vivo foot ankle mechanics during mid-stance gait in a human cadaveric specimen. A low...

Diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) is an emergency diagnostic procedure performed when intra-abdominal bleeding secondary to trauma is suspected. This procedure is part of the surgical skills section of the Advanced Trauma Life Support course. DPL is traditionally taught using anesthetized animals or cadavers. For reasons described below, these alternatives are not ideal. We have developed a co...
