Background Autistic adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) seem to be particularly vulnerable potentially traumatic experiences and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Furthermore, this population may at risk for a different set of than the general population. However, knowledge is sparse concerning PTSD symptom manifestations in individuals severe ID.Method Exploration trajectories an a...

Four trials were conducted to determine whether conventional solid or elevated wire mesh flooring, during transport and holding of broilers prior to slaughter, influenced the number of bacteria recovered from feathered and defeathered carcasses. After 4 h off feed, 7-wk-old broilers were placed at commercial density into a modified commercial transport dump-coop on either fiberglass sheeting or...

Campylobacter is a human pathogen commonly found on live broilers and processed carcasses. To plan effective intervention strategies, it would be helpful to know which Campylobacter populations are associated with the external and internal organs of broilers. Six carcasses were collected after exiting the bleed tunnel at a commercial broiler plant on each of three visits (n = 18). Carcasses wer...

A review of the relative international literature of the last few years is followed by a description of two cases of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in adults. As in both cases the initial diagnosis was that of Lyell's syndrome, the main criteria for the differential diagnosis of the two pathologies are considered in order to permit specific and effective treatment.

Granulocyte function in burn injury has been evaluated with an in vitro animal assay. Bactericidal activity, using this technique, was markedly depressed only when granulocytes from scald burned rats were challenged with each of three strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence of autologous postburn serum or heat-inactivated serum. Preincubation of postburn and normal serum at 37 degrees...

Dent (1948) first detected urinary peptides in cases of nephrosis using two-dimensional chromatography. Arneil and Wilson (1953) found a simi'ar" nephrotic" peptide spot on chromatograms obtained from the urines of patients suffering from oedema due to other causes, such as burns, scalds, or fractures. Barlow (1952) found that the blood of nephrotic patients showed a high antidiuretic activity....

The 2009 National Burn Repository reports the most common cause of burns as direct fire/flame (43%) followed by scalds (30%).The aim of present study was to reveal the ameliorative effect of cyperus rotundus essential oil. The burn was induced in the rats by using method as described by Bairy and Somayaji1. The treatment was given with the cyperus rotundus essential oil (CREO) with dose 200 mg....

The incidence and geographic distribution of leaf scald (Xanthomonas albilineans (Ashby) Dowson) in the Moreton district between 1951 and 1975 is described. Most of the infection has been in 471. Increase in incidence of the disease appears to be favoured by periods of high rainfall followed by dry weather. A survey was made, at monthly intervals from January to June 1975, to try to determine l...
