Introduction Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), or non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, is known to complicate classic pulmonary embolism (Robin, Cross and Zelis, 1973). It has been well documented in animal experiments (Singer et al., 1957; Swenson, Lamas and Ring, 1965; Parmley, North and Ott, 1962) but is rare in man (Meth et al., 1975). A number of mechanisms have been proposed includ...

BACKGROUND The one-stage pull-through procedures for Hirschsprung's disease (HD) have become popular because it is well accepted by surgeons and mothers with no visible scar and a short hospital stay. It represents the latest development in the concept of a minimally invasive surgery for HD. We introduce a new method of transanal one-stage pull-through for Hirschsprung's disease, different from...

[1] This study presents the first direct comparison of terrestrial water storage estimates from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission to in situ hydrological observations. Monthly anomalies of total water storage derived from GRACE gravity fields are compared with combined soil moisture and groundwater measurements from a network of observing sites in Illinois. T...

Each of the world's largest retailers---Walmart, Carrefour, Tesco, and Metro---entered China after 1995. Their subsequent expansion in China may have influenced Chinese exports through two channels. First, they may have enhanced bilateral exports between the retailers' Chinese operations and destination countries also served by stores in the retailers' networks. Second, Chinese city-level expor...

Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a common congenital disease of colorectum. Although it was described more than one century ago, the effective treatment was established only half a century later. The initially treatment consisted of preoperative diverting colostomy, followed by definite pull-through and closure of colostomy on later date. A variety of procedures like Swenson, Duhamel, Rehbein and...

The morbid anatomy of Hirschsprung's disease is now firmly established. Swenson and Bill (1948) noted that the dilated colon which figures so largely in the earlier description of the disease terminated at a point proximal to the anus and was followed by a spastic segment. They concluded that the obstruction was due in some way to this segment and that the hypertrophy and dilatation of the bowe...
