In the late 1990s, a Department of Defense subcommittee screened more than 100 civilian trauma centers according to the number of admissions, percentage of penetrating trauma, and institutional interest in relation to the specific training missions of each of the three service branches. By the end of 2001, the Army started a program at University of Miami/Ryder Trauma Center, the Navy began a s...

In interventions attempting to remediate deficiencies in the skills repertoire of developmentally delayed children, no less than in medical interventions, it may be fairly said that less is more. That is, the instructor should intervene as little as possible both from the perspective of efficient instructional practice and from time allotment concerns which modern classrooms face.

BACKGROUND Ryder Trauma Center is a Level 1 trauma center with approximately 3800 emergency admissions per year. In this study, we sought to determine the incidence of failed prehospital intubations (PHI), its correlation with hospital mortality, and possible risk factors associated with PHI. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted evaluating trauma patients who had emergency ...

[1] The 27 February 2010 Maule, Chile (Mw=8.8) earthquake is one of the best instrumentally observed subduction zone megathrust events. Here we present locations, magnitudes and cumulative equivalent moment of the first 2 months of aftershocks, recorded on a temporary network deployed within 2 weeks of the occurrence of the mainshock. Using automatically-determined onset times and a back projec...

The morphology of rhinoceros horn as revealed by the scanning electron microscope is reported. The results are broadly consistent with previous studies of the material. Two different-shaped cortical cell units are shown to exist. The more numerous scale-like cells form the concentric laminae which are packed around the central non-fibrous cores of fibrillar units which comprise most of the horn...

This report describes methods which have been developed in this laboratory for the determination of antifibrinolysin activity in plasma. Using these methods, studies have been made of the antifibrinolysin activity in the plasma of the alligator (Alligator inississippiensis), guinea pig (genus Cavia), cow (Bos taurus), rat (Rattus norvegicus, Sprague-Dawley strain), frog (Rana pipiens), man (whi...

Despite extensive germplasm screening, no lettuce accessions have been identified as possessing immunity to infection by Sclerotinia species. As previously reported, several genotypes have consistently shown a significant reduction in disease incidence compared with susceptible varieties following inoculation with S. minor. Many of these genotypes exhibit architectural features that may promote...
