Fatal decompression sickness following therapeutic hyperbaric environment (author's transl)

In Hannover/Germany in 1976 a so called "Society for Regenerative Hyperbaric Therapy" (Gesellschaft für Regenerative Uberdruck-Therapie) subjected 20 patients within two coupled multi-place chambers to a simulated hyperbaric environment, equivalent to a maximum of 4 ata, followed usually by gradual reductions of the pressure. The patients were of an average age of 67.2 years and were afflicted by various disorders. During one of the "dives" a patient developed air embolism of the central nervous system. During ensuing confusion of the chamber was opened suddenly, with resultant explosive reduction of the high pressure. This resulted in five letal accidents of decompression sickness. Post mortem examination revealed diffuse distribution of gas bubbles throughout the entire body. By elecronmicroscopy each bubble was covered by an osmiophilic coat. Post mortem findings are discussed and correlated with well-known and new clinical symptomes. These observations present for the first time fatal accidents of decompression sickness in humans, associated with hyperbaric air-therapy.     

Pitfalls in the diagnosis of drug smuggler's abdomen

Narcotics "body packing" can be detected in abdominal X-rays by the ring shadow caused by air trapped in the packs. In a series of 82 cases admitted for abdominal X-ray in Helsinki, Finland, in 1982 through 1988, we encountered 9 (11.0%) true positives, 3 (3.6%) false positives, and 1 (1.2%) false negative. The false positives were due to the constipation often associated with the narcotics abuse. The false negative X-ray diagnosis was attributable to an inexperienced radiologist. False negatives may also be associated with packets containing marijuana, packs with few wrappings, aluminum-foil coated packs, and machine-packed narcotics. Searching for trapped air in radiographs, repeated X-raying by an experienced radiologist, use of computed tomography, or combined urinary drug screening may be applied to diminish false findings and to avoid unnecessary arrest for the purpose of fecal screening over several days.     

论违规审核证券发行的侵权责任

现行《公司法》、《证券法》立法仅规定了违规审核人员的行政责任和刑事责任 ,而未涉及侵权责任问题 ,存在立法缺漏。违规审批、核准证券发行的行为完全符合侵权责任的构成要件。一般而言 ,违规审批、批准证券发行的侵权责任应由该证券发行审核机构承担 ,但审核人员犯滥用管理公司、证券职权罪的 ,应自己承担相应的侵权责任。违规审核证券发行的侵权责任的范围应从投资人的实际直接损失为限。投资人可选择单独诉讼或者共同诉讼方式 ,通过行政侵权诉讼或附带民事诉讼的途径 ,追究违规审核证券发行的侵权责任     

以警务实战为中心 搞好民警在职培训

公安院校是公安专业人才的培养基地和在职民警的训练基地 ,如何贴近实战 ,加强在职民警培训 ,使民警在有效打击犯罪的同时 ,减少伤亡是公安院校的首要任务。针对当前严峻的现实 ,公安院校应以警务实战需要为中心 ,做好在职民警的培训工作。 1、培训规化强调实际性 ;2、培训内容突出实用性 ;3、培训方法注重实战性 ;4、培训目的讲求实效性

自然科学发展对于政治学的方法论意义

自然科学的发展总是不断地改进着政治学研究的方法论,使政治学理论在历史上呈现出不同的发展阶段。20世纪自然科学的方法在政治学研究中的运用,终于促成了政治科学的形成,行为主义政治科学的产生正是这两者结合的标志。但由于政治现象的很多层面都是不能加以客观研究的,所以自然科学的手段在政治学研究中存在其不可避免的局限。因此,我们对政治学研究中的科学主义倾向应保持清醒的认识。
