Published: September 2000

Maps of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) in the millimeter-wave emission of the ion HCO+ revealed a local minimum near the nucleus position, with a maximum about 100,000 km in the antisolar direction. These observed features of the HCO+ emission require a low abundance of HCO+ due to enhanced destruction in the inner coma of the comet, within a region of low electron temperature (Te). To set constraints on the formation of HCO+ in the coma, as well as the location and magnitude of the transition to higher Te, the data are compared with the results of ion-molecule chemistry models.

This study aimed to investigate whether lymphocyte-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) upon admission can predict disease progression and intensive care unit (ICU) admission in adult patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). A single-center retrospective study was conducted, including adult DKA patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between March 2018 and March 2023. Multiple demographic and clinical data were collected from the medical records upon admission and during hospitalization.

5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) modulators are commonly prescribed medications with potentially life-threatening outcomes, particularly serotonin syndrome (SS). Early prediction of SS is critical not only to avoid lethal drug combinations but also to initiate appropriate treatment. The present work aimed to recognize the significant predictors of SS through a retrospective cross-sectional study that was conducted among patients exposed to an overdose of 5-HT modulators and admitted to a poison control center where 112 patients were enrolled.

Anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening medical emergency, and its successful approach depends on early recognition and treatment. We present a case report of a 54-year-old female, with the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) Physical Status Classification III, admitted for cervical conization. She presented with known allergies to paracetamol, diclofenac, and nimesulide, and a history of nickel contact dermatitis, with no reports of complicated anesthesia.

Identifying high-risk pediatric patients with non-pharmaceutical poisoning is crucial to avoid prospective complications and decrease the evident hospital economic burden. Although the preventive strategies have been well studied, determining the early predictors for poor outcomes remains limited. Therefore, this study focused on the initial clinical and laboratory parameters as a triage of non-pharmaceutical poisoned children for potential adverse outcomes taking the causative substance effects into account.

Department of General Surgery, Affiliated Xiaoshan Hospital, Hangzhou Normal University, Zhejiang Province-China.

Background: The incidence of blunt abdominal injury has significantly increased, and the liver is one of the most commonly damaged organs. In this study, we explored and established a nomogram model for patients with liver ruptures undergoing surgical treatment.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted for 66 adult patients with liver rupture, who were admitted to our hospital from January 2011 to October 2018.
