objectives : to determine the correlation between the success rates of the cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (cpcr) and the team’s leader education and skill level in shiraz, southern iran. m e th o d: this cross-sectional study was conducted during a 6-month period from october 2007 to march 2008 in nemazee hospital of shiraz. we included all the patients who underwent cpcr due to cardiop...

Unfortunately, specialised small units or geriatric hospitals often do not have a diabetic liaison sister and in these problems such as Dr Whyte reported occur. In our area one patient was discharged from one such hospital with 100 unit insulin but an old 20 unit syringe. Luckily an astute district nurse spotted the mistake before harm occurred. Perhaps in these units one trained nurse should b...

BACKGROUND There has been a relentless increase in emergency medical admissions in the UK over recent years. Many of these patients suffer with chronic conditions requiring continuing medical attention. We wished to determine whether conventional outpatient clinic follow up after discharge has any impact on the rate of readmission to hospital. METHODS Two consultant general physicians with th...

Why are we still struggling to control the devastating effects of childhood tuberculosis? This disease has been with us since ancient times and yet, even with known effective prevention and treatment strategies, much of the world has unacceptable levels of childhood morbidity and mortality due to tuberculosis. As expected, progress in identification and treatment has occurred primarily in high-...

Orexin/hypocretin neurons have a crucial role in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. To help determine how these neurons promote wakefulness, we generated transgenic mice in which orexin neurons expressed halorhodopsin (orexin/Halo mice), an orange light-activated neuronal silencer. Slice patch-clamp recordings of orexin neurons that expressed halorhodopsin demonstrated that orange light p...

This paper presents the first dissociative recombination (DR) measurement of electrons with rotationally and vibrationally cold H3 + ions. A dc discharge pinhole supersonic jet source was developed and characterized using infrared cavity ringdown spectroscopy before installation on the CRYRING ion storage ring for the DR measurements. Rotational state distributions sTrot,30 Kd produced using th...

changes of hydrodynamic parameters in microchannel branches affect the suspended biological samples in blood. to prevent denaturation and hemolysis, we have numerically investigated the effect of divergence angle on shear rate and velocity at branch entrance (discharge rate), under electroosmotic flow. in such flow, hydrodynamic properties are also affected by zeta potential at the microchannel...
