Absorption of electromagnetic waves at oblique resonance in plasmas threaded by inhomogenous magnetic fields.

There has been of significant interest lately in the study of electromagnetic (EM) waves interacting with magnetized plasmas. The variety of resonances and the existence of several pass and stop bands in the dispersion curve for different orientations of the magnetic field offer new mechanisms of EM wave energy absorption [1-3]. However, earlier studies have investigated only special cases of magnetized plasma geometry [e.

Antibiotic resistance and virulence genes profile of Non typhodial Salmonella species isolated from poultry enteritis in India.

Salmonella species (spp) is the most important gastrointestinal pathogen present ubiquitously. Non typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is commonly associated with gastroenteritis in humans. Layer birds once get infection with NTS, can become persistently infected with Salmonella Typhimurium and intermittently shed the bacteria.

Heat current magnification in classical and quantum spin networks.

We investigate heat current magnification (CM) due to asymmetry in the number of spins in two-branched classical as well as quantum spin systems that are kept between two heat baths at different temperatures. We study the classical Ising-like spin models using Q2R and Creutz cellular automaton dynamics. We show that just the difference in the number of spins is not enough and some other source of asymmetry like unequal spin-spin interaction strengths in the upper and lower branches is required for heat CM.

Freezability and Fertility Rates of Stallion Semen Supplemented With Trehalose in Lactose Extender.

Cryopreservation of stallion semen is often associated with poor post-thaw sperm quality. One of the reason for this diminished quality is osmotic stress that spermatozoa experiences during freezing and thawing process. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cryoprotective effect of trehalose on stallion sperm quality and field fertility rates subjected to cooling and freeze-thawing process.

A consensus to determine the ideal critical care transfer bag.

Background: Familiarity with environment, processes and equipment reduces the risk inherently associated with critical care transfers. Therefore, the North West London Critical Care Network decided to create a standardised ideal transfer bag and contents to improve patient safety.

Methods: A four-round modified Delphi survey developed a condensed and clinically tested content list.

Opioids and cancer recurrence.

Purpose Of Review: With the majority of deaths from cancer because of their metastases, strategies to reduce this from occurring are at the forefront of treatment. It has been hypothesized that morphine may result in an increase in cancer metastases, following many in-vitro and animal studies, but the evidence from human retrospective data is inconclusive. This article will explore the possible mechanisms by which opioids can impact on the natural history of the cancer cell and whether they are likely to be harmful in individuals with cancer.

Anaphylaxis to Patent Blue V: a case series.

Blue dyes such as Patent Blue V (PBV) have been used in medical procedures for decades, and in the United Kingdom they are routinely utilised in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for staging the axilla in early breast cancer. However, it has long been recognised that such dyes are associated with anaphylaxis. It has recently been estimated in a prospective study that allergy to PBV occurs with a frequency of 0.
