knife. Only one knife was found, and, according to both men's stories, only one knife was used. Not much inference could be drawn from the situati on or direction of the wounds; though the fact that the largest of the three sligh t wounds on Inait's throat was deepest on the right, and tailed off to the left, was rather against its having been selfinflicted. The case against Sahadut was dismiss...

conclusions magnesium at low dose decreases sore throat and pain severity more effectively compared to ketamine gargle. results there were no significant differences between age, sex, and body mass index (bmi) between two groups of patients. hemodynamics of patients, including blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation %, and conscious state were not significantly different (p > 0.05)....

We live in a social world. Most other animals do too. The social world affords many opportunities and challenges for decision making, from the benefi ts of collective cognition and cooperation to the costs of groupthink and cut-throat competition. Some social situations appear, at least at the moment, to be uniquely human. For instance, morality in humans has been studied for millennia, with do...

or days he feels something in his throat which obstructs and causes difficulty in uttering words; hence he groans and utters an indistinct sound by fits and starts like that of a dog, and this is shortly followed by insensibility which lasts for some minutes, during which he remains unconscious of all round him. His eyes are found congested, pupils dilated, aud if he is in standing posture, fal...

OBJECTIVE To assess the sensitivity and specificity of the Gen-Probe PACE 2 assay, which uses a chemiluminescent labelled single-stranded DNA probe to detect gonococcal ribosomal RNA (rRNA), for the non-cultural detection of rectal and pharyngeal gonorrhoea in homosexual men. SUBJECTS 161 homosexual men attending the Department of Genitourinary Medicine, Edinburgh Royal Infirmary during the l...

Understanding the precise structure of pore space is integral to fully understanding flow through porous media. This understanding is essential in research on single-phase incompressible flow in situations where another dominant flow factor is the fluid-wall surface tension [1]. Determining the relationship of pore structure and bulk flow properties is complicated since the structure of pore sp...
