Sites, multiple failure

We conclude from our morphology observations and the properties listed in Table VI that at low bisphenol A content the system shows the same appearance and therefore the same properties as the CTBN-epoxy system. As the bisphenol A is increased to an optimum of 24 phr, the particles decrease in size, a two-particle size population develops, and multiple failure sites appear. An example of the bisphenol A modified system is shown in Figure 2 in which the fractograph shows one family of small particles < 0.1 pin diameter and another family of larger particles 1-5 pm diameter. Another feature shown in this micrograph are multiple... 

Next we looked at the microvoid situation in a bisphenol A modified CTBN-epoxy system. This sample had the highest toughening properties that we developed in the epoxy system because of a two-particle size rubber population that uniquely gives a combination of shear deformation and tensile crazing. Only some of the large particles had microvoid development. Consequently the whitening was much less than when only crazing occurs. The multiple failure sites were still evident.

A single field trial is all that is required to provide the data necessary to establish a tolerance for the processed commodities identified in OPPTS 860.1520. However, one may choose to conduct more than one field trial as insurance against crop failure at a single location which could delay a registration package submittal for another growing season (which would be far more costly to a business than the cost of multiple field trials). Once samples have been collected at one site, other trials could be terminated to minimize overall study cost. 

Some patients fail to recover from trauma because they develop multiple organ failure (MOF), also known as multiple systems failure (MSF). It is estimated to kill almost 200000 patients each year in the USA. The name arises from the fact that several organs are involved and they are distant from the site of trauma. Since it can arise in septic patients, it is also known as septic shock syndrome . It can occur in any condition that induces a major inflammatory response. The time between the insult and the malfunction of the organs is variable and may run into weeks. As expected, the larger the number of organs involved, the greater the risk of death (Box 18.1). 

Adalimumab is a recombinant, fully human antitumor necrosis factor monoclonal antibody approved in the US and Europe for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe, active rheumatoid arthritis. It has to be injected subcutaneously. The most common side effects of adalimumab are injection site reactions. Adalimumab increases the risk of rare serious infections. Rare side effects include worsening or initiation of congestive heart failure, a lupus-like syndrome, a promotion of lymphoma, medically significant cytopenias, and worsening or initiation of a multiple sclerosis like neurological disease. 

Systemic infections are those that have microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, yeasts, parasites) spread, usually via the bloodstream, beyond the portal of entry or original site of localized infection to multiple compartments of the body. When infections, either localized or systemic, are accompanied by signs and symptoms of a systemic inflammatory response (fever, rapid pulse, increase in white blood cells) the syndrome is called sepsis. Severe sepsis is defined by the additional occurrence of organ failure (either kidney, liver, brain, lungs), and is a potentially fatal condition (mortality around 50%). If there is hypotension not responding on fluid resuscitation it is called septic shock and the mortally is even higher (60-70%). 

The sites of action within the kidney and the pharmacokinetics of various diuretic drugs are discussed in Chapter 15. Thiazide diuretics are appropriate for most patients with mild or moderate hypertension and normal renal and cardiac function. More powerful diuretics (eg, those acting on the loop of Henle) such as furosemide are necessary in severe hypertension, when multiple drugs with sodium-retaining properties are used in renal insufficiency, when glomerular filtration rate is less than 30 or 40 mL/min and in cardiac failure or cirrhosis, in which sodium retention is marked. 

Other potential adverse responses include malignancy (e.g., lymphoma), liver disease, heart failure, lupuslike disease, irritation around the injection site, and demyelinating disorders that mimic multiple sclerosis.34,70 88 The incidence of these adverse effects, however, seems to be fairly low. For the most part, these drugs provide an acceptable risk-to-benefit ratio for most people with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients should, however, be screened carefully for any risk factors before beginning drug therapy, and should likewise be monitored periodically for any potential adverse reactions to these drugs. 

The site of primary intracerebral hemorrhage provides information as to the cause hypertensive hemorrhages (Fig. 7.1a) tend to occur in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and pons, while lobar hemorrhages are more often caused by cerebral amyloid angiopathy, vascular malformations and hemostatic failure (Dickinson 2001 Smith and Eichler 2006 Sutherland and Auer 2006) (Table 7.1) (Fig. 7.1b). Multiple hemorrhages suggest certain specific causes ...

Initial pain at the site of the bite may be followed with a metallic sensation in the mouth. Victims may become weak, and experience nausea, diarrhea, diaphoresis, and chills. Edema may begin around the bite area or may be delayed. Observation of the site for edema is a clue as to whether or not a dry bite has occurred that is, that no venom was injected into the site. Envenomation is most serious if venom is injected directly into joints, muscles, or veins. Hemorrhagic blisters and tissue destruction are possible. Neurotoxicity from rattlesnakes (but generally not from cottonmouths or copperheads) may be manifested as fasciculations, which are fine continuous contractions. In some cases, systemic neurotoxicity may involve respiratory failure. In the most serious cases, massive envenomation may lead to serious bleeding, hypotension, shock, multiple organ failure, and a high incidence of mortality.
