Less than 10% of Minnesota’s hardwood forests remain after heavy logging in the 19 and early 20 centuries. In order to ensure that this ecosystem continues to be a part of Minnesota’s natural history, forest managers have begun practicing active and passive restoration. The composition of a remnant forest, planted forest, and an adjacent old-field in the St. Olaf College Natural Lands, was anal...

OBJECTIVE In most cases, the postoperative course of a chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is good, but CSDHs sometimes remain after the inserted catheter is removed, and the outcomes of such remnant hematomas are unclear. As oral streptokinase-streptodornase (OSS) has anti-inflammatory and hematologic effects, we assessed the effects of OSS on remnant CSDHs through a retrospective analysis of cli...

CONTEXT Although surgical resection is the only curative therapeutic option for recurrent or metachronous pancreatic carcinomas, most such cancers are beyond surgical curability. We herein report on two rare cases of remnant pancreatectomy used to treat recurrent or metachronous pancreatic carcinomas. CASE REPORTS CASE#1 A 65-year-old male developed weight loss and diabetes mellitus 83 months...

INTRODUCTION Recently, remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been increasingly performed to achieve revascularization, cell proliferation, and recovery of high-quality proprioception. However, poor arthroscopic visualization makes accurate socket placement during remnant-preserving ACL reconstruction difficult. This study describes a surgical technique used to c...

PURPOSE To define the percentage of magnetization transfer of multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques, ischemic white matter lesions, and vasogenic edema to determine whether this measurement can help differentiate these entities. METHODS Findings were compared in 25 patients with proved MS, 20 patients with white matter ischemic lesions, and 72 patients with white matter edema (caused by tumors, inf...

The aim of this paper is to begin to assess the empirical fit of a constraint on remnant movement that is derived as a consequence of the system proposed by Hunter (2010), the main focus of which was a unification of adjunct island effects and freezing effects. As well as ruling out all extraction from adjuncts and from moved constituents, the constraint proposed in this previous work has the e...

We report the detection and localization of X-ray emitting ejecta in the middle-aged Galactic supernova remnant Puppis A using five observations with the Suzaku X-ray Imaging Spectrometer to survey the eastern and middle portions of the remnant. A roughly 3×5, double-peaked region in the north center is found to be highly enriched in Si and other elements relative to the rest of the remnant. Th...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the clinical performance and complications between an ACL reconstruction with a remnant-preserving single-bundle technique and a standard single-bundle technique. METHODS A search was performed of RCTs comparing the clinical outcomes and complications of ACL reconstruction with remnant-preserving and standard single-bundle techniques during Octo...

DA 530 (G93.3+6.9) is a high Galactic latitude supernova remnant with a well-defined shell-like radio morphology and an exceptionally low X-ray to radio luminosity ratio. Based on a Chandra ACIS observation, we report the detection of an extended X-ray feature close to the center of the remnant with 5.3σ above the background within a circle of 20 radius. The spectrum of this feature can be char...

Four individual high resolution X-ray images from ROSAT and the Einstein Observatory have been used to measure the expansion rate of the remnant of Kepler’s supernova (SN 1604). Highly significant measurements of the expansion have been made for time baselines varying from 5.5 yrs to 17.5 yrs. All measurements are consistent with a current expansion rate averaged over the entire remnant of 0.23...
