The main constituent of plasma is the plasma proteins, and it is the administration of these, combined with fluid, which appears to be responsible for the resuscitative action in wound shock, post-operative shock, and burns.

Whereas the tools to determine the eigenvalues of the eight-vertex transfer matrix T are well known there has been until recently incomplete knowledge about the eigenvectors of T . We describe the construction of eigenvectors of T corresponding to degenerate eigenvalues and discuss the related hidden elliptic symmetry.

Further accounts must inevitably cover much familiar ground. In this review we have paid most attention to any new feature to emerge and to those aspects that appear to us to merit special consideration. Details made familiar by past descript...

Falls represent a substantial risk in the elderly. Previous studies have found that a focus on the outcome or effect of the movement (external focus of attention) leads to improved balance performance, whereas a focus on the movement execution itself (internal focus of attention) impairs balance performance in elderly. A shift toward more conscious, explicit forms of motor control occurs when e...
