CASE REPORT We report the case of a 2 year-old child with orbital emphysema secondary to a compressed-air gun shot in the malar region, with no evidence of orbital wall fracture. Conservative treatment was applied, and no complications were observed. DISCUSSION Orbital emphysema in the absence of an orbital wall fracture is a rare situation. Orbital emphysema is usually seen in facial trauma ...

The poem is filled with fragments of foreign languages, ancient Greek, odd line breaks, and so on. The machine attacks it like someone with a gun at his head. The voice is metallic and fuzzy, a robot on bennies. It reads and reads and reads and reads. It’s practically air-starved as it heads for the end of the page. Another decade will pass before this machine can read Eliot, and it will be ano...

This study presents a simple and sustainable coating technology for the deposition of photocatalytic coatings based on titanium dioxide geopolymers, which requires no thermal post-treatment. Titania powder P25, potassium silicate calcium aluminate-based hardener were dispersed in water applied to aluminum substrates using paintbrush, roller spray gun. The air-dried 12 h. activities tested via d...

High energy density requirements for fieldable electric gun applications have led to the development of air-core compulsators which utilize hybrid metal/composite rotor designs. In addition to supporting the required generator windings, these rotors also must store large amounts of kinetic energy. To satisfy energy density requirements, the tip speeds of the electric gun class compulsator rotor...

IMPORTANCE Gun violence and injuries pose a substantial threat to children and youth in the United States. Existing evidence points to the need for interventions and policies for keeping guns out of the hands of children and youth. OBJECTIVES (1) To examine the association between state gun law environment and youth gun carrying in the United States, and (2) to determine whether adult gun own...

A widely publicized but unpublished study of the relationship between gun shows and gun violence is being cited in debates about the regulation of gun shows and gun commerce. We believe the study is fatally flawed. A working paper entitled "The Effect of Gun Shows on Gun-Related Deaths: Evidence from California and Texas" outlined this study, which found no association between gun shows and gun...
