nearly 80% of young people today will never be able to retire. why? because they lack the personal finance training that leads to long-term planning and future security. connecting the dots between kids and money management skills prepares them for the financial realities the world will face over the next century. pocket money is one of the first ways for children to learn the basics of managin...

As fresh frozen plasma (FFP) loses coagulation factor activity during the production process, FFP therapy may not be feasible to completely replenish coagulation factor concentrations in a clinical setting. The aim of this study was to describe the results of early replacement coagulation factors with FFP in a simplified and idealized in vitro model of dilution. Six ml of whole blood drawn from...

A"CLOSED" method for the accurate measurement of myocardial blood flow is still to be achieved. In 1956, Henly et al. described an indicator-dilution technique for assessing myocardial blood flow. This approach led us to construct a suitable model for simulating a systemic-coronary circuit. Observations with this system suggested that an indicator-dilution technique might be applicable to measu...

conclusions the results indicate that multidrug-resistant (mdr) strains of salmonella are increasing in number, and fewer antibiotics may be useful for treating s. enterica infections. routine investigation and reporting of antibiotic mics in patients presenting with salmonella infections is suggested. results of the total 19 salmonella spp. isolates recovered by the bactec automated system, al...

Using original survey data, this paper examines whether monetary rewards and honor rewards encourage or discourage blood donation. On the use of monetary rewards, we find that i) the overall sample’s response to monetary rewards is positive, and ii) people who volunteer more frequently, people who donated blood regularlt and people who donate blood to help others respond less positively to mone...

• Since the work of Bing and co-workers and the subsequent observations of Holt, the indicator dilution technique has been used to measure ventricular volume. The validity of the technique depends upon thorough mixing of indicator with ventricular blood. However, experimental data have been presented by Irisawa et al. and subsequently by Swan and Beck suggesting that requisite mixing does not o...
