Resident interest in emergency medicine (EM) is on the rise. Each year, postgraduate matches add to the ranks of Canadian EM residents, and the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP) Residents’ Section (RS) continues to expand. The numbers are inspiring. This year, 16 residents accepted Royal College EM postgraduate year-1 (PGY-1) slots. Many more began their CCFP(EM) PGY-3 year, a...

A prevalência mundial do câncer de ovário é de cerca de meio milhão de mulheres em um período de cinco anos; aproximadamente outros 200.000 novos casos ocorrem a cada ano. O câncer de ovário é a neoplasia ginecológica mais letal e a sétima causa mais comum de óbito em mulheres. Menos da metade das mulheres (43%) sobrevivem por mais de cinco anos após o diagnóstico de câncer de ovário, enquanto ...

Matched eld processing (MFP) refers to signal and array processing techniques in which, rather than a planewave arrival model, complex-valued (amplitude and phase) eld predictions for propagating signals are used. Matched eld processing has been successfully applied in ocean acoustics. In this paper the extension of MFP to the electromagnetic domain, i.e., electromagnetic (EM) MFP (EM-MFP) is d...

OBJECTIVES The holistic use of a system of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is potentially linked to its treatment outcomes. This paper examines how the use of biomedicine is associated with the holistic use of CAM, focusing on traditional East Asian medicine (EM) that is uniquely integrated in the medical system in South Korea. DESIGN/SETTINGS A representative national sample of ...

BACKGROUND It has been reported that electromagnetic (EM) fields induce stress proteins in vitro. These proteins have been shown to be important in recovery from ischemia/reperfusion. It was, therefore, hypothesized that EM fields could activate stress responses in vivo and protect myocardial tissue during anoxia. METHODS AND RESULTS Chick embryos were exposed to 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10- microT an...

Swiss needle cast (SNC) is a disease specific to Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) caused by the ascomycete Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii. Here we examine characteristics of the EM fungus community that are potentially useful in predictive models that would monitor forest health. We found that mean EM density (number of colonized root tips/soil core) varied nearly 10-fold among sites of varying l...

This study was performed to evaluate the efficiency of simplified EM grid vitrification, skipping the step of removing the cryoprotectant (5.5M EG + 1.0M sucrose) droplet on the grid after loading oocytes, compared to conventional cryopreservation protocols for mouse mature oocytes. Firstly, the recovery, survival, fertilization and hatching rates of simplified EM grid vitrification were compar...

Rising temperatures associated with climate change have been shown to negatively affect the photosynthetic rates of boreal forest tree saplings at their southern range limits. To quantify the responses of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal communities associated with poorly performing hosts, we sampled the roots of Betula papyrifera and Abies balsamea saplings growing in the B4Warmed (Boreal Forest Wa...

The present study was carried out to analyze the physico-chemical properties of fresh juice obtained from pomelo fruit. It is aimed to study the effects of different commercial extraction techniques on the physicochemical properties of the pomelo juice. The juices from Malaysian pomelo fruit from variety Tambun (PO52) were extracted using four different techniques; hand squeezing (EM-1), blendi...
