The H states studied in the reaction and evidence of extremely correlated character of the H ground state
The extremely neutron-rich system H was studied in the direct
H transfer reaction with a 26
MeV secondary He beam. The measured missing mass spectrum shows a
resonant state in H at MeV relative to the H+ threshold.
The population cross section of the presumably -wave states in the energy
range from 4 to 8 MeV is
b/sr in the angular range . The
obtained missing mass spectrum is free of the H events below 3.5 MeV
( b/sr in the same angular
range). The steep rise of the H missing mass spectrum at 3 MeV allows to
show that MeV is the lower limit for the possible resonant state
energy in H tolerated by our data. According to paring energy estimates,
such a MeV resonance is a realistic candidate for the H ground
state (g.s.). The obtained results confirm that the decay mechanism of the
H g.s.\ (located at 2.2 MeV above the H+ threshold) is the
``true'' (or simultaneous) emission. The resonance energy profiles and the
momentum distributions of the sequential H \,\rightarrow \,
^5H(g.s.)+n\, \rightarrow \, ^3H+ decay fragments were analyzed by the
theoretically-updated direct four-body-decay and sequential-emission
mechanisms. The measured momentum distributions of the H fragments in the
H rest frame indicate very strong ``dineutron-type'' correlations in the
H ground state decay.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figure
Study of Proton and Deuteron Pickup Reactions 2H(10Be,3He)9Li an 2H(10Be,4He)8Li with 44 A MeV 10Be Radioactive Beam at ACCULINNA-2 Fragment Separator
The proton and deuteron pickup reactions 2H(10Be,3He)9Li and\\
2H(10Be,4He)8Li radioactive beam produced by the new fragment separator
ACCULINNA-2 at FLNR, JINR\@. These measurements were initially motivated as
test reactions intended for the elucidation of results obtained in the study of
the extremely neutron-rich 7H and 6H systems created in the 2H(10Be,3He)9Li and
2H(10Be,4He)8Li reactions using the same setup. In the 2H(10Be,3He)9Li reaction
the 9Li ground-state () and its first excited state (2.69~MeV, )
were identified in the low-energy region of its excitation spectrum. The
differential cross sections for the 9Li g.~s.) population were extracted at
forward center-of-mass angles () and compared with the FRESCO
calculations. Spectroscopic factor of , derived by a model for the
10Be9Li(g.s.) clustering was found in accord with the experimental
data. The energy spectrum of 8Li populated in the 2H(10Be,4He)8Li reaction
shows the strong peak which corresponds to excitation of the second excited
state of 8Li (2.25 MeV, ). The fact that the ground and the first excited
states of 8Li were not observed is fully consistent with Shell-Model
calculations carried out for the 10Be g.\,s. and 8Li level structure applying
momentum selection rules
Ultra-early initiation of postoperative rehabilitation in the post-anaesthesia care unit after major thoracic surgery: caseâcontrol study
International audienceBackground Physiotherapy is a major cornerstone of enhanced rehabilitation after surgery (ERAS) and reduces the development of atelectasis after thoracic surgery. By initiating physiotherapy in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU), the aim was to evaluate whether the ultra-early initiation of rehabilitation (in the first hour following tracheal extubation) would improve the outcomes of patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery. Methods A caseâcontrol study with a before-and-after design was conducted. From a historical control group, patients were paired at a 3:1 ratio with an intervention group. This group consisted of patients treated with the ultra-early rehabilitation programme after elective thoracic surgery (clear fluids, physiotherapy, and ambulation). The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia during the hospital stay. Results After pairing, 675 patients were allocated to the historical control group and 225 patients to the intervention group. A significant decrease in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia was found in the latter (11.4 versus 6.7 per cent respectively; Pâ=â0.042) and remained significant on multivariate analysis (OR 0.53, 95 per cent c.i. 0.26 to 0.98; Pâ=â0.045). A subgroup analysis of the intervention group showed that early ambulation during the PACU stay was associated with a further significant decrease in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia (2.2 versus 9.5 per cent; Pâ=â0.012). Conclusions Ultra-early rehabilitation in the PACU was associated with a decrease in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia after major elective thoracic surgery
