A Case Report of Hydrops Amnii
On March 24, 1955, I was called to see a 6-year-old Angus cow. A diagnoses of hydrops amnii was made. The exact freshening date was not known but was estimated to be about 3-4 weeks away. Since the fluid content had increased considerably in the last week it was decided to do a Caesarean section to save the cow
The spectrum of HM Sagittae: A planetary nebula excited by a Wolf-Rayet star
A total of image tube spectrograms of HM Sagittae were obtained. More than 70 emission lines, including several broad emission features, were identified. An analysis of the spectra indicates that HM Sagittae is a planetary nebula excited by a Wolf-Rayet star. The most conspicuous Wolf-Rayet feature is that attributed to a blend of C III at 4650 A and He II at 4686 A
Cosmic ray energy changes at the termination shock and in the heliosheath
Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock of the solar wind in December 2004 at 94 AU and currently measures the cosmic ray intensity in the heliosheath. To better understand this modulation region beyond the shock, where adiabatic energy changes should be small, we review the net effect of energy changes during the modulation process, including adiabatic deceleration in the solar wind, acceleration at the termination shock, and the possibility that stochastic acceleration in the heliosheath may also make a contribution
Galaxy Counts, Sizes, Colours and Redshifts in the Hubble Deep Field
We compare the galaxy evolution models of Bruzual & Charlot (1993) with the
faint galaxy count, size and colour data from the Hubble and Herschel Deep
Fields (Metcalfe et al 1996). For qo=0.05, we find that models where the SFR
increases exponentially out to z>2 are consistent with all of the observational
data. For qo=0.5, such models require an extra population of galaxies which are
only seen at high redshift and then rapidly fade or disappear. We find that,
whatever the cosmology, the redshift of the faint blue galaxies and hence the
epoch of galaxy formation is likely to lie at z>2. We find no implied peak in
the SFR at z=1 and we suggest that the reasons for this contradiction with the
results of Madau et al (1996) include differences in faint galaxy photometry,
in the treatment of spiral dust and in the local galaxy count normalisation.Comment: 8 pages, 5 eps figures, needs paspconf.st

Mixed experiences and perceptions of psychological treatment for chronic pain in Singapore: Skepticism, ambivalence, satisfaction and potential
There is little research in Southeast Asia focusing on patientsâ experiences of seeking psychological treatment for chronic pain.
Objective: This study aims to understand the experiences of patients seeking psychological treatment for chronic pain in this region.
Setting: Outpatient pain clinic at a tertiary hospital in Singapore.
Subjects: People with experiences of attending psychological treatment for chronic pain, including some who were not receiving this type of treatment.
Study design and methods: Fifteen inductive semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore patientsâ experiences regarding psychological treatment for their chronic pain. Thematic analysis was then applied.
Results: Three main themes were identified: âExpectations and Realities of Health Professionalsâ, âPatientsâ Attitudes and Beliefsâ and âPractical and Social Factors.â From the patientsâ perspectives, an empathetic health professional who was willing to listen contributed to a positive treatment seeking experience. Patients felt that health professionalsâ lack of knowledge about appropriate treatment contributed to their frustration. Patients could not understand how psychological treatment was related to pain treatment and queried why they were âpaying just to talkâ. On the other hand, their experiences were quite positive, and they found psychological treatments helpful when they participated in them.
Conclusion: Education for both patients and health professionals unfamiliar with psychological treatments for pain may improve access to these treatments

Healthcare Professionalsâ Perceptions of Psychological Treatment for Chronic Pain in Singapore: Challenges, Barriers and the Way Forward
Purpose: There are very few studies on healthcare providersâ experiences of delivering treatment for chronic pain in a Southeast Asian setting. The aims of this study are to understand the experiences of professionals delivering treatment for people with chronic pain in Singapore and identify possible barriers to psychological treatment for this condition within the broader experiences of these professionals. Method: Healthcare professionals with at least one year experience treating chronic pain were recruited and purposefully sampled. Fifteen inductive semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore healthcare professionalsâ experiences of treating people with chronic pain. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Four main themes were identified: âSystem Barriersâ, âCore Beliefs and management of Chronic Painâ, âEngaging Patients in treatmentââ, and âCreating Awareness for Chronic Pain Management.â Professionals trained in a multidisciplinary approach to pain management were seen as rare. Professionals who could refer patients for psychological treatment do not refer due to costs, and their perception that patients may lack understanding of such a treatment. Conclusion: Reducing barriers in the access to psychological treatment in settings like Singapore will require a multifaceted approach
