Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a safe and easy method and carries a low mortality and complication rate. The buried bumper syndrome is a rare and late complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement. An 80-year-old man with bilateral basal ganglia bleeding was unable to swallow safely and required tube feeding. A Flexiflo Inverta percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tu...

An automotive bumper system consists of an energy absorber, fascia and beam. Among them, the beam is main component contributing to overall weight vehicle. The absorbs kinetic during accidental collision by deflection in low speed impact deformation high impact. Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP), being extremely strong lightweight composite, a good candidate for material. Earlier used perf...

Dysphagia due to tumor ulcers and stomatitis induced by chemoradiotherapy is painful; it is therefore crucial and urgent to establish a surgical enteral feeding route in patients with head and neck cancer to avoid malnutrition and improve treatment compliance [1]. However, common trismus caused by surgical resection, reconstruction, and, mostly, radiation fibrosis often compromise flexible endo...

A prototype elliptical polarization from bending magnet ( EPBM) system with a dynamic local bump has been implemented at the SRRC storage ring. The local bump is created by using two pairs of vertical correctors located on each side of the bending. The bump strength coeffieient was obtained from measured beam response matrix. Disurbance of stored electron beam orbit was boserved while flipping ...

A study was conducted to find out whether in a rear-impact motor vehicle accident, velocity changes in the impact vehicle of between 10 and 15 km/h can cause so-called "whiplash injuries". An assessment of the actual injury mechanism of such whiplash injuries and comparison of vehicle rear-end collisions with amusement park bumper car collisions was also carried out. The study was based on expe...

As savvy researchers, we Googled our topic: “Obama and Medicare.” Our first hit was zazzle.com, which advertised a bumper sticker with an older woman in a wheelchair hurtling down a slope with the caption “Obama Lies, Grandma Dies.”1 The bumper sticker captures the politics of health care reform and Medicare. In the summer of 2009, congressional town hall events became shouting matches over hea...

Over an 11-month period a study was made of all patients presenting to an accident and emergency department who had sustained whiplash as a result of rear-bumper impacts. The patients were analysed with respect to the presence of head-restraints in their vehicles. A significant increase in the incidence of whiplash was found in patients whose vehicles did not have head-restraints fitted. Legisl...
