Accidental hypothermia was considered to be a rare condition in adults (Rees, 1958). Within the past few years evidence has accumulated which shows that far from being a rare event, accidental hypothermia is a common condition in this country, especially during the winter months (EmslieSmith, 1958; Duguid, Simpson, and Stowers, 1961; Prescott, Peard, and Wallace, 1962; and Brit. med. J., 1963)....

The following examples give evidence to the following conjecture contained in my paper [2]. All the main theoretical results can be found in that paper. Conjecture 1. Let d be a positive integer and ~s ∈ N. Then the set J(~s|p) is finite for every prime p. Example 2. The first example we would like to do is about the partial sums of ζ(2) series. The prime p = 7 is a little different from the ot...

This research updates the acrylamide content of commercial potato crisps marketed in Spain with the aim to evaluate its trend since 2004. Two different batches of 40 potato crisps brands from 18 producers were analysed. Acrylamide content ranged from 108 to 2180 µg/kg, with an average value of 630 µg/kg and a median of 556 µg/kg. Data revealed a continuous decreased trend from 2004 to 2014. In ...

Porcine parvovirus 3 is a novel parvovirus that infects pigs. Here, we report two genome sequences of porcine parvovirus 3 strains GX1 and GX2, which are highly prevalent in Guangxi province. It will help in understanding the epidemiology and molecular characteristics of the porcine parvovirus 3.

Human parvovirus 4 has been considered to be transmitted only parenterally. However, after novel genotype 3 of parvovirus 4 was found in 2 patients with no parenteral risks, we tested infants in Ghana. A viremia rate of 8.6% over 2 years indicates that this infection is common in children in Africa.

We describe a neonate with bacterial infection of a cephalohematoma by Escherichia hermannii and with meningitis. We review the literature on infected cephalohematomas and E. hermannii and document the first case of invasive disease due to this pathogen.
