Abstract The US Army war crimes trials held in Manila from 1945 to 1947 prosecuted around 200 Japanese military personnel for committed against prisoners of and Filipino non-combatants. defendants attempted argue, with little success, that the defence superior orders justified their actions. General Douglas MacArthur (Supreme Commander Allies Pacific or SCAP) was adamant would not serve excuse ...

asymptomatic he recalled that in 1942, he choked on a piece of grass held in his mouth while talking. He denied subsequent illness at that time. In the summer of 1945, he recalled picking wild berries in the country. This was followed by an acute gastric upset with chills, fever, nausea and vomiting. He did not recall choking at this time. Pneumonia was diagnosed and treated with penicillin. Tw...

ultrasound guidance for pain interventions is becoming increasing recognized as a useful imaging tool. one of the common interventions where it is gaining wider acceptance is during the performance of a stellate ganglion block. the following is a unique report where intravascular and neuronal injury occurred during the performance of an ultrasound guided stellate ganglion block followed by dysp...

introduction liver abscess developing during hospital stay in pediatric patients on dialysis for acute kidney injury has been previously unreported. impaired immunity, prolonged use of antibiotics, diabetes and malnutrition predispose to liver abscess in chronic hemodialysis patients. case presentation we reported a case of liver abscess developing in a 6-year-old boy admitted with sepsis and m...

A mixed proton–electron conducting perovskite was synthesized by liquid-citrate method and the corresponding membrane was prepared by pressing followed by sintering. The hydrogen permeability of BaCe0.9Yb0.1O3-δ was studied as a function of temperature and hydrogen partial pressure (PH2) gradient. Using 100% dry hydrogen at 1173 K, the hydrogen permeation rate of dense membranes (1.63 mm thick)...

This gentleman presented, aged 36, with numbness on the left side of his face, which subsided over 10 days. Four months later, he developed numbness with pins and needles affecting his left arm followed shortly affecting his right arm and then both legs within a month. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain showed two white matter lesions involving the corpus callosum with no other abnormalitie...

We have studied the stability of mixed (3)He/(4)He clusters in L=0 states by the diffusion Monte Carlo method, employing the Tang-Toennies-Yiu He-He potential. The clusters (3)He(4)He(N) and (3)He(2)(4)He(N) are stable for N>1. The lighter atoms tend to move to the surface of the cluster. The minimum number of 4He atoms able to bind three 3He atoms in a L=0 state is nine. Two of three fermionic...
