Case of the month
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2009-02)
Orthopedic Surgery requested an inpatient Internal Medicine consultation for evaluation of an 81 year old woman with multiple vertebral fractures of possible pathologic origin. The patient had been in excellent health with ...
ID corner : Swine flu
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2009-05)
Swine Flu: the words on everyone's lips. It is now referred to as Novel H1N1 influenza out of respect for pigs. But the New England Journal has published a whole issue on this subject.
From the journals
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2009-12)
Citations for five articles of interest to hospitalists.
From the journals
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2009-04)
Three citations with comments of interest to Hospitalists.
ID corner : Swine flu -- clinical reports
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2009-11)
Citations with links to two clinical reports on H1N1 (swine) flu.
ID corner : intraabdominal infections
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2009-04)
Citation and link to an article on evidence-based guidelines for the antibiotic treatment of intraabdominal infections from the IDSA.
Dealing with hypertensive urgencies
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2009-10)
Patients presenting with severe hypertension can often be alarming for house officers and family members. Systolic blood pressures > 180 mm Hg, with or without a diastolic blood pressure >120, have been known to progress ...
Case of the month
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2009-04)
A 33 year old African American male was admitted to the University of Missouri I.M. Service, referred from a community hospital for uncontrolled hypertension. He was initially diagnosed with hypertension approximately ten ...
Discovery of Extreme Carbon Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
(American Astronomical Society, 2008)
Using Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud, we have identified 13 objects that have extremely red mid-IR colors. Follow-up Spitzer IRS observations of seven of these sources reveal varying amounts ...
Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome in Adults
(2000)
The past decade has seen a resurgence of interest in CVS, mostly as a result of the work of CVSA and its members. Unfortunately, the fact that CVS affects adults as well as children is still largely unknown.
Biogenesis of the Protein Storage Vacuole Crystalloid
(The Journal of Cell Biology, 2000)
We identify new organelles associated with the vacuolar system in plant cells. These organelles are defined biochemically by their internal content of three integral membrane proteins: a chimeric reporter protein that moves ...
Power-Rate-Distortion Analysis for Wireless Video Communication under Energy Constraints
(IEEE, 2004)
Mobile devices performing video coding and streaming over wireless and pervasive communication networks are limited in energy supply. To prolong the operational lifetime
of these devices, an embedded video encoding system ...
Orbital ordering and exchange interaction in the manganites
(American Physical Society, 2001)
The microscopic origin of the exchange interaction in manganites is studied by solving an electronic model Hamiltonian for the Mn-O-Mn triad. It is shown that the magnetic structure of La1-xCaxMnO3 is correctly described ...
Wannier-like functions and tight-binding parametrization for the manganese bands in CaMnO3
(Institute of Physics, 2003)
We study the electronic band structure of CaMnO3, in order to understand the origin of the dispersion of the Mn(eg) bands, which is in contrast with the predicted dispersionless bands within the Anderson-Hasegawa double-exchange ...
Adaptive Critic Design for Energy Minimization of Portable Video Communication Devices
(IEEE, 2008-08)
Portable video communication devices operate on
batteries with limited energy supply. However, video compression is computationally intensive and energy-demanding. Therefore, one of the central challenging issues in ...
On the Anomalous Silicate Emission Features of AGNs: A Possible Interpretation Based on Porous Dust
(arXiv, 2008)
The recent Spitzer detections of the 9.7 micron Si--O silicate emission in type 1 AGNs provide support for the AGN unification scheme. The properties of the silicate dust are of key importance to understanding the physical, ...
On buckyonions as an interstellar grain component
(arXiv, 2008)
The carrier of the 2175 Angstrom interstellar extinction feature remains unidentified since its first detection over 40 years ago. In recent years carbon buckyonions have been proposed as a carrier of this feature, based ...
The Effect of Stellar Evolution on SiC Dust Grain Sizes
(American Astronomical Society, 2005)
Stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) produce dust in their circumstellar shells. The nature of the dust-forming environment is influenced by the evolution of the stars, in terms of both chemistry and density, leading ...
The Multitude of Molecular Hydrogen Knots in the Helix Nebula
(Institute of Physics, 2005)
We present Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS imaging of the H2 2.12 μm emission in five fields in the Helix Nebula ranging in radial distance from 250'' to 450'' from the central star. The images reveal arcuate structures with ...
