Fix for Life

Alcohol cessation in youth with daily drinking poses a risk of severe and life-threatening alcohol withdrawal. If unsupervised, alcohol withdrawal in heavy users can cause severe complications, such as seizures, delirium tremens, and death. We present the case of a teenager admitted at our pediatric center for the prevention of alcohol withdrawal using an innovative protocol, including a fixed-dosage benzodiazepine regimen.

Over the past two decades, prescription medication use for pain and depression increased dramatically. Most studies consider the early life course, despite a similar increase among those in later life.

Videolaryngoscopy is increasingly advocated as the standard intubation technique, while fibreoptic intubation is broadly regarded as the ‘gold standard’ for difficult airways. Traditionally, the training of these techniques is on patients, though manikins, simulators and cadavers are also used, with their respective limitations. In this study, we investigated whether the novel ‘Fix for Life’ (F4L) cadaver model is a suitable and realistic model for the teaching of these two intubation techniques to novices in airway management.

The research data spread over a period of 41 years (1974 to 2015) were utilized to study the heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlation of life time performance traits. The mixed model analysing using LSML were used for estimation of variance components considering sire as a random effect, season and period of birth and age at first calving groups as fixed effects. Period of birth was highly significant on LTMY3, LTMY4, ALTMY, HL and PL whereas non-significant on BE. Season of birth did not influence any of the trait considered in the study.

If the random variable X denotes the lifetime of a unit, then the random variable XðtÞ ¼ ½t X Xj 6 t for a fixed t > 0 is known as the inactivity time. In this paper, based on the random variable X(t), a new class of life distributions, namely increasing variance inactivity time (IVIT) and the concept of inactivity coefficient of variation (ICV), are introduced. The closure properties of the IVIT class under some reliability operations, such as mixing, convolution and formation of coherent systems, are obtained.

This paper pro -poses two ideas for adapting standard kinematic techniques to situations that do not naturally allow for the constraint of a fixed baseline. The first calls for extracting the information needed to resolve the integer ambiguity from the very data collected while the kinematic survey is in progress. The second idea addresses the use of the antenna exchange technique for mobile platforms where the original locations of the antennas are not likely to remain stationary during the physical exchange.

People talk lots of hokum about life coaching. Life coaching television programmes, magazines and newspaper columns range in quality from the powerful and inspirational through to the downright misleading and dangerous. True life coaching isn’t about some guru telling you how you should live. Yes, you may be tempted to bask in the comfort of an expert who can fix your life, your fashion sense, your body flaws and your emotional angst. But these fixes are too often like an elegant sticking plaster. Changes don’t last, unless a real change has come from deep within you.
