We examined the Csalóka Spring, which has the highest radon concentration in the Sopron Mountains (West Hungary) (, yearly average of 227 ± 10 Bq L(-1)). The main rock types here are gneiss and micaschist, formed from metamorphism of former granitic and clastic sedimentary rocks respectively. The aim of the study was to find a likely source of the high radon concentration in water. During two p...

critical points regarding these scales. First, the CPOT and the BPS do not have a specific item for patients who are in a coma (Glasgow Coma Scale ≤8), with artificial airways (eg, tracheostomy tube), who are breathing spontaneously without receiving mechanical ventilation. Other important concerns are items that evaluate patients’ compliance with ventilators. When patients cough we expect to h...

patients and methods this blinded clinical trial was performed on 60 patients admitted to icu following cabg. patients intubated and those under mechanical ventilation were unable to report their pain. the study population was randomly divided into two groups of control and music intervention groups (preferred music listening). in the intervention group, preferred music (including classical, in...

Abstract. Oxidation flow reactors (OFRs) are frequently used to study the formation and evolution of secondary aerosol (SA) in atmosphere have become valuable tools for improving accuracy model simulations depicting accelerating realistic atmospheric chemistry. Driven by rapid development OFR techniques increasing appreciation their wide application, we designed a new all-Teflon reactor, Partic...

Pain is a common and distressing symptom in critically ill patients. Critically ill patients experiencing high levels of pain are at risk for a plethora of negative psychological and physiological consequences, some of which may be life-threatening. A systematic assessment of pain is difficult in intensive care units due to the high percentage of patients who are noncommunicative and unable to ...
