Enhancement cavities for few-cycle pulses.

We address the challenge of increasing the bandwidth of high-finesse femtosecond enhancement cavities and demonstrate a broad spectrum spanning 1800  cm (195 nm) at -10  dB around a central wavelength of 1050 nm in an EC with an average finesse exceeding 300. This will benefit a host of spectroscopic applications, including transient absorption spectroscopy, direct frequency comb spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The pulse circulating in the EC is composed of only 5.

[Right ventricular assist device (RVAD) in septic, fulminating pulmonary artery embolism].

We describe a 34-year-old male with pulmonary embolism. The patient had been admitted to a peripheral hospital for incision and drainage of a very large ischio-rectal abscess. Four days after successful surgical intervention and during a change of dressings he developed a massive pulmonary artery embolism.

[10 years' experience with heart surgery in Jehovah's witnesses].

Unlabelled: As a result of their interpretation of the Bible, members of Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept blood transfusions under any circumstances. Consequently, they present moral and ethical problems to surgeons and anesthetists, especially in cardiac surgery. PATIENTS and METHODS.

[Deep accidental hypothermia (24 degrees C). A case report].

A 65 year old female patient was submitted to the ICU in deep accidental hypothermia, due to lying in cold water after intoxication with Melperon. Body temperature after submission was 24 degrees C; therefore rewarming was done by an extracorporal bypass. After successful rewarming, the further posttraumatic course was free of complications and the patient could be discharged 14 days after the event.
