Chronic subdural hematomas (CSHs) are generally regarded to be a traumatic lesion. It was regarded as a stroke in 17th century, an inflammatory disease in 19th century. From 20th century, it became a traumatic lesion. CSH frequently occur after a trauma, however, it cannot occur when there is no enough subdural space even after a severe head injury. CSH may occur without trauma, when there is s...

The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) receives inputs from both arterial chemoreceptors and central noradrenergic neural structures activated during hypoxia. We investigated norepinephrine (NE) modulation of chemoreceptor afferent integration after a chronic exposure to sustained hypoxia (CSH) (7-8 d at 10% FIO(2)). Whole-cell recordings of NTS second-order neurons identified by DiA (1,1'-dil...

child safety seat mishandle is still a concern. to prevent serious injuries and death from automotive accidents, correct use of car seats for small children is essential. failure to use a car seat properly can contribute to serious injury or death of a child. recent studies have shown that child safety seats can tolerate the impact of a minor crash without affecting their future performance. fa...

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is the major volume phase in the matrix of Portland cement concrete. Total x-ray scattering measurements with synchrotron x rays on synthetic CSH(I) shows nanocrystalline ordering with a particle diameter of 3.5(5) nm, similar to a size-broadened 1.1 nm tobermorite crystal structure. The CSH component in hydrated tricalcium silicate is found to be similar to CSH(I...

Expression of cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) during initial growth of Candida albicans was monitored. CSH of hydrophobic and hydrophilic yeast cells changed within 30 min upon subculture into fresh medium. Morphologic evidence of germination was preceded by expression of CSH. These results indicate that CSH expression is important in C. albicans growth.

BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia (CSFH) is sometimes associated with chronic subdural hematomas (CSHs). Affected patients often develop enlargement and recurrence of the CSH, even if appropriate treatments such as epidural blood patch (EBP) and/or burr-hole surgery for the CSH are performed. This situation may lead to subclinical coagulopathy, including low coagulation factor XIII (CF...

The Joint Consortium for School Health (JCSH) is pleased to have collaborated with Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) on this special supplement to the Canadian Journal of Public Health on the topic of school health. The articles that follow are yet another step towards advancing healthy living for children and youth through an integrated, collaborative and evidencebase...

A total of 600 avian male broilers at the age of 1 d were used to investigate the effects of cysteamine (CSH) on growth performance, digestive enzyme activities, and concentrations of serum hormones. The broilers received the same basal diets, with CSH added at 0 (control), 60, 90, 120, or 150 mg/kg. The feeding program consisted of a starter diet until 21 d and a grower diet until 42 d. The br...

Worldwide, more than 185,000 children under 18 years die from road traffic accidents annually (each four minutes a child death occurred due to road crashes); with most casualties from developing countries. 95% of road traffic fatalities among children occur in developing countries. Many more children are injured, often severely, and suffering from different disabilities. Road accidents cause ex...
