Other Abnormalities

In the other types of abnormalities, the event classification follows those of LWRs because the components such as the valves and the control rod drives are expected to be similar to those of PWRs or BWRs. In the category of the reactivity abnormality, the incidents related to the control rods are taken from those of PWRs. The loss of feedwater heating is taken like BWRs. Most of the incidents of the pressure abnormality are taken from BWRs because the Super LWR also adopts the direct steam cycle. The reactor depressurization is taken from PWRs. The abnormalities categorized into the inadvertent start or malfunction of core cooling system are taken from those of PWRs or BWRs. The inadvertent startup of AFS of the Super LWR corresponds to the inadvertent startup of ECCS of PWRs. The core coolant flow control system failure is the same as the feedwater control system failure for the Super LWR while the two incidents are different in BWRs due to the recirculation system. All the accidents categorized into the loss

This is the simplest of all relay operating principles. Any current above, or voltage below, a set level may be taken to mean that a fault or some other abnormal condition exists inside the zone of protection. Figure 2 shows a definite time and an inverse time overcurrent relay. 

Once essential hypertension develops, management of this disorder becomes a lifetime task. When a direct cause of the hypertension can be identified, the condition is described as secondary hypertension. Among the known causes of secondary hypertension, kidney disease ranks first, with tumors or other abnormalities of the adrenal glands following. In malignant hypertension the diastolic pressure usually exceeds 130 mm Hg. In secondary hypertension,... 

The in vivo relevance and biological importance of in vitro observations about mast cell function, as well as the contributions of mast cells towards the expression of particular biological responses (such as various models of anaphylaxis) in vivo, can be assessed using c-kit mutant mice (e.g., WBB6Fi-FCit or mice) that virtually lack mast cell populations. Mice with mutations of c-kit [6,11] or mutations that affect KIT expression [12-14] have other abnormalities of phenotype besides a mast cell deficiency. However, the mast cell deficiency of these mice can be selectively repaired by the adoptive transfer of genetically compatible, in vitro-derived... 

Mlcrochromatographlc Methods During the past two years rapid. Inexpensive, miniaturized column chromatographic methods for the separation of hemoglobins have been developed These methods are designed for the qualitative detection and quantitative determination of hemoglobins In normal and abnormal conditions and cover the quantitation of Hb-A2 the detection of Hb-S, Hb-C other abnormal Hbs differentiation of various conditions In adults and the detection of hemoglobinopathies especially sickle cell anemia at birth (27, 28, 29, 30) ... 

When the newborn population Is examined It Is found that between 2 and 4% of Individuals, depending on how the figures are calculated, have some type of birth defect which Is considered to be genetic In origin (8,9) The term "birth defect" Is used In a general sense and encompasses all types of structural, metabolic, and other abnormalities which derive from genetic or other prenatal causes. The birth defects detected postnatally represent only a small fraction of the totality of abnormalities which result from genetic aberrations, but most of the latter result In early spontaneous abortions... 

The sex chromosome abnormalities are generally less severe In terms of their effects on mental development, but two of them, the XO and XX abnormalities, are associated with sterility and other abnormalities In Individuals who develop as females or males, respectively The two other sex chromosome abnormalities, XXX and X Y, are more problematic The XXX constitution does not produce significant abnormalities In the females who have It but can. In some Individuals, be associated with a modest degree of mental slowness (45) The XYY constitution. In the males who have It, appears to be associated with Increased stature and, at least In some Individuals, with a tendency toward antisocial behavior (46, 47) While the absolute Incidence of such behavior of XYY Individuals Is probably quite low. It Is still thou t to be higher than In a chromosomally normal population These two sex-chromosome abnormalities have been specifically mentioned because they have engendered considerable concern about what types of counseling should be given In situations In which they are detected prenatally ... 

Guidelines for the methods of sample collection of crop samples are detailed in the Codex Alimentarius, but generally in most instances crop samples should be representative of the crop being grown. As a general rule, the quantity of sample required is a minimum of 12 units or >1 kg of field sample, e.g., potato mbers, cabbages, etc. Samples selected should not be damaged or suffer from severe defects, disease symptoms, or other abnormalities.

Stanghellini et al. [122] have carefully defined the most common abnormalities of phase III activity and other abnormal motility patterns that occur in patients with chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction, who often suffer from bacterial overgrowth [113], This concerns phase III with abnormal migration (stationary or retrograde) and with abnormal isotonic component, abnormal burst activity, and a failure of the postprandial pattern. 

Other abnormalities are more trait-like, and persist following symptom remission. They are found in orbital and medial prefrontal cortex areas where postmortem studies have also documented reductions in cortex volume and histopathologic changes in primary mood disorders [68], Evidence from brain mapping, lesion analysis and electrophysiologic studies of humans and experimental... 

After intraamniotic injection, acrolein is teratogenic to rats in vivo but not in vitro. When administered intraamniotically to the whole embryo culture system of the rat on day 13 of gestation, acrolein caused edema, hydrocephaly, open eyes, cleft palate, abnormal umbilical cord, and defects of the limbs and face (Slott and Hales 1986). Beauchamp etal. (1985) suggest that acrolein-associated teratogenicity is caused by acrylic acid, an acrolein metabolite. Acrylic acid injected into amniotic fluid of rats on day 13 of gestation produced a dose-dependent increase in the percent of fetuses with skeletal and other abnormalities (Beauchamp et al. 1985).

Exposure after this point may result in growth retardation, CNS or other abnormalities, or death (e.g., nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors [ACEIs], and tetracycline derivatives). 

In open-angle glaucoma, the specific cause of optic neuropathy is unknown. Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) was historically considered to be the sole cause. Additional contributing factors include increased susceptibility of the optic nerve to ischemia, reduced or dysregulated blood flow, excitotoxicity, autoimmune reactions, and other abnormal physiologic processes. 

Other abnormalities, such as atonia or desquamation, should be noted and recorded.

Necropsies for pathological study were performed promptly on moribund mice which were killed within 2 hours of injection of toxin-LR. Mouse livers were dark red, markedly enlarged, and engorged with blood. The observed 50 percent increase in fresh weight of the liver is attributed to the accumulation of about one-half of the total circulating blood in and around hepatic blood channels. The cerebral cortex was slightly swollen and pale, and a thin film of pink ascitic fluid was sometimes seen. No other abnormalities were observed. 

There are many other abnormalities that can be identified in these sections, ranging from abnormalities considered as malformations (e.g., microphthalmia) through to minor abnormalities (e.g., partially undescended thymus).
