We present a hierarchical extension of the Cormack-Jolly-Seber (CJS) model for open population capture-recapture data. In addition to recaptures of marked animals, we model first captures of animals and losses on capture. The parameter set includes capture probabilities, survival rates, and birth rates. The survival rates and birth rates are treated as a random sample from a bivariate distribut...

Transmission of Corynebacterium insidiosum (McCull.) Jensen (cause of bacterial wilt in alfalfa) by the stem and bulb nematode Ditylenchus dipsaci (Kiihn) was demonstrated by Hawn (3) . Disease development in plants where D. dipsaci was the vector was comparable to that in the controls where wilt was induced by the root-ball soak method devised by Cormack, Peake and Downey (1) . Furthermore, th...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to report the management of anesthesia of a child with a large neck rhabdoid tumor. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 9-month- old female patient underwent urgent neck tumor excision due to intratumoral bleeding from a large tumor that compressed and dislocated the trachea; therefore, intubation was expected to be difficult. Sevoflurane inhalation in...

text, there is no statement to discuss the possible reasons why RLGL got better glottic view than direct laryngoscopy. As we know, backward, upward, rightward pressure (BURP) maneuver is a useful skill to facilitate glottis visualization for tracheal intubation.3 In Yang’s study, there is no description of applying BURP during tracheal intubation in both study groups. If no BURP was applied in ...

with reference to clinical histories which are fully recorded. The cases are interesting and the remarks judicious and instructive, and Sir John Cormack is to be congratulated oil having made a valuable addition to medical literature. Some of the papers do not appear for the first time, thus the first on relapsing fever was first published in 1843, being founded on observations made in that yea...

BACKGROUND We aimed at comparing the performance of the C-MAC®, Airtraq®, and Macintosh laryngoscopes when performing tracheal intubation in patients undergoing neck immobilization using manual inline axial cervical spine stabilization. METHODS Ninety consenting patients presenting for surgery requiring tracheal intubation were randomly assigned to undergo intubation using a C-MAC® (n=30), Ai...

This study deals with the numerical solution of a 2D unsteady flow of a compressible viscous fluid in a channel for low inlet airflow velocity. The unsteadiness of the flow is caused by a prescribed periodic motion of a part of the channel wall with large amplitudes, nearly closing the channel during oscillations. The flow is described by the system of Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flows....

ObjectiveVideolaryngoscopy (VL) in the prehospital setting remains controversial, with conflicting data on its utility. We compared C-MAC VL (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) versus direct laryngoscopy (DL) setting, recording grade of glottic view, first pass success (FPS), overall success, and equipment functionality.MethodsWe conducted a prospective observational study convenience sample 49 a...
