Energy calibration is important to identify accurate neutron capture resonance energy in the neutron TOF (Time-of-Flight) experiment. In present study, the accurate neutron capture resonance energies of natural Sm were measured by using a 46-MeV electron linear accelerator (linac) at the Research Reactor Institute, Kyoto University(KURRI). The BGO spectrometer were adopted for measurement the prompt capture gamma-ray of the sample. To obtain energy calibration curve, resonance energy of a gold sample used as standard resonance energy Mughabghab's data (From neutron resonance parameters data). Previous data (by Mughabghab) of natural Sm sample have been compared with the present result.

Loxoprofen sodium is an orally used anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic agent. For alleviation or inhibition of the pain symptoms regardless of referred or superficial pain, the prompt absorption of a drug and its immediate bioavailability might be generally required for a formulation or development of a new drug. Therefore, in intramuscular administration, its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects were evaluated compared with an oral administration in animals. The occurrence of gastric damages which is common in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was also observed.

Rectal bleeding is a common and worrisome problem in pediatric practice. The condition is usually alarming to patient and children. Although most cases are benign and self-limited, sometimes serious pathology also present in this manner. And severe rectal bleeding necessitates prompt diagnostic notice and appropriate treatment. The etiologies of rectal bleeding are somewhat specific to certain age group in children. Accurate history and through physical examination are paramount importance to help differentiate of the diverse etiologies causing rectal bleeding in children. This review describes patterns of rectal bleeding, historical and physical aspect, differentiation of clinical characteristics of rectal bleeding according to etiology, and diagnostic investigations.

Spontaneous uterine rupture of the unscarred uterus during the second trimester of pregnancy is rare, but it is a surgical emergency. Because it results in rapid deterioration of patient and high mortality despite of prompt operation and massive transfusion, early diagnosis and proper management are critical for optimizing patient care. We present a case of spontaneous uterine rupture with fetal death in 14 weeks gestation with a brief review of literatures.

The Cognitive Radio (CR) paradigm in tactical ad hoc networks is an important element of future military communications for network-centric warfare. This paper presents a novel Cognitive Link State Routing protocol for CR-based tactical ad hoc networks. The proposed scheme provides prompt and reliable routes for Primary User (PU) activity through procedures that incorporate two main functions: PU-aware power adaptation and channel switching. For the PU-aware power adaptation, closer multipoint relay nodes are selected to prevent network partition and ensure successful PU communication. The PU-aware channel switching is proactively conducted using control messages to switch to a new available channel based on a common channel list. Our simulation study based on the ns-3 simulator demonstrates that the proposed routing scheme delivers significantly improved performance in terms of average end-to-end delay, jitter, and packet delivery ratio.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) infections are considered difficult to distinguish clinically and histopathologically. Prompt differentiation between PEDV- and TGEV-associated enteritis would greatly facilitate the management of disease in countries where PEDV and TGEV are epizootic. Rapid differential diagnosis and treatment are crucial to reducing mortality and morbidity from PEDV- and TGEV-induced enteritis in piglets. The objective for this study was to develop a protocol to differentiate between PEDV and TGEV directly from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue, using a multiplex reverse transcription-nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nPCR) assay.

Herniation of the kidney through a traumatic diaphragmatic rupture in itself is rare. However, complete avulsion of the renal pedicle implies not only a more rare event, but also a surgical emergency. We report a case of a patient with complete avulsion of renal vessels and ureter of an intrathoracic kidney herniated through a diaphragmatic rupture caused by blunt trauma. Prompt diagnosis with a computer tomographic scan and immediate surgery saved the patient's life.

Left ventricular free wall rupture following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the second most common cause of death and has been reported to be responsible for 4 to 24% of all infarction deaths. The rupture occurs anywhere from a few hours to several days after AMI. The common findings of ventricular rupture are persistent chest pain bradycardia and shock. This may be often mistaken for the ruptured dissection of the ascending aorta. The different points from dissection are 1) persistent chest pain 2)persistent ST segment elevation and 3) only intramural hematoma in ascending aorta. We have sucessfully managed two patients with postinfarction myocardial rupture. Surgical management consisted of infarctectomy repairi of the ventricular rupture and coronay artery bypass grafting. We conclude that successful surgical management of ventricular free wall rupture should require prompt diagnosis and emergency operation.

Endoscopic sympathicotomy is the choice of the treatment for hyperhidrosis. There are some recognized risks such as Honer's syndrome and Hemopneumothorax; however, Chylothorax has very rarely been reported after thoracic sympathicotomy. We recently encountered a case of chylothorax. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is noteworthy.

Patients with concomitant surgical diseases of the heart and lungs are a therapeutic challenge to cardiothoracic surgeons. A 59-year-old woman underwent right middle lobectomy for lung cancer and redo double valve replacement with tricuspid annuloplasty simultaneously. Concomitant operation is a safe procedure and might allow prompt correction of both conditions, thereby sparing the patient a second major thoracic procedure with its attendant risks.
