Accidental hypothermia was studied in 11 patients, five of whom died. This condition occurs spontaneously, usually in a cold environment, and should be suspected in the comatose hypotensive patient. It is easily missed because regular clinical thermometers do not record extremely low body temperatures. It is distinguished from other forms of hypothermia by the very low body temperature and by t...

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the largest ever accidental release of oil into marine waters, affected hundreds of miles of US northern Gulf of Mexico coastline that is important habitat for migratory shorebirds. Shorebirds are particularly susceptible to oil contamination because of their subsurface probe-foraging behavior and reliance on intertidal habitat. More than one million migrat...

In this paper, an enhanced fall detection system is projected for old person observance that's supported good sensors worn on the body and operational through client home networks. With treble thresholds, accidental falls are often detected within the home care setting. By utilizing data gathered from all the sensors measuring instrument, accelerometer and good sensors, the impacts of falls are...

Hippophae rhamnoides has diverse therapeutic applications in Indian, Chinese and Tibetan medicine. Irradiation (accidental/ therapeutic) causes immunosuppression and inflammation. This study investigated effects of our preparation from leaves of H. rhamnoides (code SBL-1), on modification of immunosuppression and inflammation in whole body irradiated (10 Gy) mice. One time treatment with SBL-1 ...

Background: Traumatic inguinal lesions in children are relatively unusual and those caused by impalement are less common. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the clinical course of two similar cases. Clinical cases: A 13-year-old male and a 7-year-old female are presented in this report. During an accidental fall, they sustained an inguinal wound. In the emergency room, a wooden stake a...
