From both photometric and broadband spectral monitoring of γ-ray burst (GRB) lightcurve “bumps,” particularly in GRB011121, a strong case grew for a supernova (SN) origin. The GRB-SN connection was finally solidified beyond a reasonable doubt with the discovery that the bump in GRB030329 was spectroscopically similar to a bright Type Ic SN. In light of this result, I redress the previous SN bum...

Intravenous (i.v.) paracetamol (acetaminophen) is gaining increasing use in neonates (1–3), despite an off-label status in some countries. Product information for i.v. paracetamol does not consider the clearance maturation with age in neonates in its dosing recommendations. In Australasia the same dose of 15 mgÆkg 6 h is suggested for neonates over 10 days of age and for infants and children up...

T HERE ARE DIVERSE OPINIONS on the physical and mental effectiveness of men operating in the field without any food but with water ad libitum for 3to 10-clay periods. Many abnormalities are associated! with long-term starvation and semistarvation. Canadian POW’s who had been on restrictedi intakes in camps in Singapore and! Hong Kong during World War II wei-e studied more than 10 years after be...

PURPOSE To determine whether one can detect hypoxic-ischemic brain injury by MR in the first 10 days of life and to identify patterns of injury in affected neonates. METHODS Standard T1- and T2-weighted MR sequences that were performed in the first 10 days of life in 20 patients who suffered hypoxia/ischemia in the intrapartum or neonatal periods were reviewed retrospectively. Images were eva...

Background: Because of the problems of achieving to mature oocytes, abillity to deliver the oocytes to mature outside of ovaries was a big discovery that somewhat could reduce the risk of ART`s.Because of the low percentage of in vitro oocyte maturation, research for improving the IVM condition and increasing the oocyte maturation rate is to be continued. The aim of this research is the study o...
