We study the low energy effective field theory of fermions with electric and magnetic dipole moments at finite temperature. We find that at one loop there is an interaction term of the Chern-Simon form L I = m µ A ν ˜ F µν. The four vector m µ ≃ d i µ i m 2 i ∂ µ (lnT) is interpreted as a Chern-Simon type mass of photons, which is determined by the electric (magnetic) dipole moments d i (µ i) o...

INTRODUCTION Acute abscesses are one of the most common acute problems seen in the surgical department of the R.D. Gardi Medical College (Ujjain, Madyha Pradesh, India). A conventional method used in the treatment of abscess is incision and drainage. The aim of this study was to compare the conventional method of incision and drainage with the alternative method of incision and drainage with pr...

INTRODUCTION Incision and drainage of symptomatic emergency patients with facial swelling is painful even after local anesthetics are administered. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blind study was to compare the pain of infiltration and the pain of an incision and drainage procedure of a buffered versus a nonbuffered 4% lidocaine formulation in symptomatic emergency patients ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The incidence of skin and soft tissue infections has increased dramatically during the last decade, in part because of increased prevalence of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA). Incision and drainage is considered the primary intervention; however, some clinicians prefer ultrasonographically guided needle aspiration because it represents a ...

BACKGROUND Skin and soft tissue infections are increasingly prevalent clinical problems, and it is important for health care practitioners to be well trained in how to treat skin abscesses. A realistic model of abscess incision and drainage will allow trainees to learn and practice this basic physician procedure. METHODS We developed a realistic model of skin abscess formation to demonstrate ...
