It can be challenging to create a safe airway in maxilla facial fracture and some skull surgeries. In this case study, the patient experienced jaw fractures that disturbed the dental occlusion and associated fracture of the base of the skull. Neither nasal nor oral intubation was possible based on the side effects of tracheotomy; therefore, submental intubation was applied successfully. The pro...

Mechanical properties of dissimilar weld joints between GOST09ch16N4B (a martensitic stainless steel) and AISI 4130 thin sheets made by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) were studied using ER410NiMo and ER100S-G filler metals in post weld heat treated conditions. Heat treatment cycles consisted of austenitization at 900, 950 and 1000 °C for 1 h and this was followed by oil cooling and tempering a...

In the present work, a high power Nd:YAG laser has been employed to weld AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel thin sheets. Optical microscopy was used to study the microstructural evolutions during laser welding. Tensile test and microhardness measurement were employed in order to investigate the mechanical behaviors of welds. Also, vibrational sample magnetometry was used for characterizing magne...

DESCRIPTION A 13-year-old baseball catcher presents with left thumb pain after a collision with another player.

on the ground. A friend gave him a little brandy, and he performed the motions of deglutition ; he was then put into a doolie and taken to his house. I saw him a quarter of an hour after the accident, in company with Assistant Surgeon Stevens6n, r.a., and Assistant Surgeon Leader, of the Buffs. Perfectly insensible; breathing stertorous and slow; gurgling in wind-pipe; pulse about 100?full, har...
