![]() ![]() Comparative clinical studies: Only four of eight studies were randomized controlled trials all studies were of magnesium sulfate, of small to modest size, and at substantial risk of bias. A small neurophysiological study of magnesium sulfate reported reversion of neuromuscular junction effects of organophosphorus insecticide exposure. Observational clinical studies: Calcium channel blocking drugs and magnesium sulfate have been used to treat cardiac dysrhythmias and hypertonic uterine contractions in organophosphorus poisoned patients. Of note, magnesium sulfate further suppressed serum butyrylcholinesterase activity in one rat study. In poisoned minipigs, treatment with magnesium sulfate after organophosphorus insecticide poisoning reduced cholinergic stimulation and hypertension. Pre-clinical studies: Two rodent studies indicated a benefit of calcium channel blocking drugs treatment on mortality if given before or soon after organophosphorus exposure, in addition to atropine and/or oxime. We extracted data on study type, treatment regimens, outcome, and side effects. ![]() No pre-clinical or clinical studies of calcium channel blocking drugs and magnesium sulfate in combination were found. All studies were of organophosphorus insecticides no studies of carbamates were found. We also obtained primary data from three unpublished clinical trials of magnesium sulfate, providing data from a total of eight clinical studies and trials for analysis. After review of the full papers, a total of 19 papers relevant to the question were identified: five preclinical studies, nine case reports or small case series, and five clinical studies and trials. ![]() Review of titles and abstracts revealed 2262 papers of potential relevance. ![]() We performed a systematic review for articles on magnesium sulfate and calcium channel blocking drugs in organophosphorus or carbamate insecticide poisoning using PubMed and China Academic Journals Full-text (Medicine/Hygiene Series) databases and keywords: "organophosphorus or organophosphate poisoning", "cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning" OR "carbamate poisoning" AND "magnesium", "calcium channel blocker", or generic names of different calcium channel blocking drugs. We also systematically reviewed the evidence from clinical studies in patients self-poisoned with organophosphorus or carbamate insecticides concerning the efficacy of magnesium sulfate and calcium channel blocking drugs as therapy compared with placebo, in addition to standard therapy, in reducing mortality, atropine requirement, need for intubation and ventilation, and intensive care unit and hospital stay. We aimed to review systematically the evidence from preclinical studies in animals exposed to organophosphorus or carbamate insecticides concerning the efficacy of magnesium sulfate and calcium channel blocking drugs as therapy compared with placebo in reducing mortality or clinical features of poisoning. Researchers have recommended the addition of magnesium sulfate or calcium channel blocking drugs to standard care to reduce acetylcholine release at cholinergic synapses. Treatment of acute organophosphorus or carbamate insecticide self-poisoning is often ineffective, with tens of thousands of deaths occurring every year. ![]()

![]() ![]() In fact, it’s also been recently republished to take into account new software development frameworks, such as Agile. The Mythical Man-Month has inspired many developers over the years, and its ideas are still widely relevant today. By breaking down complex concepts into simpler terms, Brooks makes software engineering accessible to anyone. He also provides important insight into why certain software development projects fail, and how to prevent failure through proper planning and execution. In this book, Brooks provides key insight into topics such as project planning, design process, team organization, system testing, and more. Originally published in 1975, the book examines the key elements of software engineering and provides invaluable advice for software engineers looking to create successful projects. This classic book is considered to be one of the most influential books ever written on software engineering. The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering Author: Fred Brooks It provides a solid basic foundation of knowledge in SLDC, making it a highly informative read for anyone interested in learning more about the software development lifecycle and understanding how to increase dev team productivity.Ģ. The book combines the author’s hands-on knowledge and experience of real-work SDLC project management with the practical application of field-tested SDLC methodologies and processes. Simple and to the point, it’s a well-written, easily understood quick read that’s a must-have for anyone working in software development. A Down-to-Earth Guide to SDLC Project Management Author: Joshua BoydeĪ great way to get started, this book offers excellent information and explanations of the basic SDLC concepts. We’ve put together a list of 9 books that will help you a clear understanding of SLDC and its different processes and approaches.ġ. ![]() With the advent of agile software development approaches, the importance of understanding and following the software development life cycle has never been greater. Software development is no longer a linear process – it’s become a fast-evolving collaborative process by teams that are often spread across several geos and time zones. However, no matter the methodology or framework used, one thing is certain: SDLC is becoming increasingly complex. Ranging from ad hoc to extremely formal, SDLCs can vary from company to company, depending on a wide range of factors. The software development life cycle, also known as the software development process or SDLC, comprises the processes and activities required to develop, maintain, and support software throughout its life span. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The port is about 40 minutes from the Lynden Pindling International Airport, and a taxi service will have to be arranged.īahamas Ferries starts at roughly $92.95 for a one-way ferry ride to destinations such as Grand Bahama Island, the Abacos and Andros.

The study historicizes these media representations and reveals that the discourse they employ advances the racialised mix of knowledge and historical amnesia. This paper uses a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods to analyse a sample of 400 articles from two national quality newspapers, The Guardian and The Times, and compares coverage across the political spectrum. These 4 years form the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ and the UK’s debate on its relationship with the European Union (EU) and the free movement of people that it entailed. This paper contributes to our understanding of public debates over migration by examining dynamics within press coverage of arrivals of migrants and refugees in the UK between 20. ![]() Through editorials and news generated during periods of intense debate over the costs and benefits of population influx and anxiety over ‘undesirable’ immigration, newspapers have provided an important platform for a national conversation on various aspects of British migration, inclusion and exclusion from national citizenship and belonging. ![]() In the newspapers, debates have centred around the wisdom and utility of high rates of emigration from Britain, to fear and hostility to increasing immigration into Britain from Ireland, Eastern Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East (Dorling and Tomlinson, 2019). While much of the population movement has over the years generated little comment (Bhambra, 2016), at other times, it has become a topic of heated debates. British communities have never been static, with people moving in, out, and about. The paper considers the exclusion of history and migrant voices from stories told to the British audience and reflects on their domestic and international implications.įor most of its history, Britain has been a migrant country. History, that could explain the causes of ‘migration’, the distant conflicts and Britain’s role in them, is also nowhere to be found. Migrant voice is largely missing from the coverage. The study historicizes these media narratives and reveals that the discourse they employ advances the racialised mix of knowledge and historical amnesia and reproduces the age-old hierarchies of the colonial system which divided humans into superior and inferior species. The paper argues that media representations turn refugees into ‘migrants’ and portray them as either a threat to the national economy and security or as passive victims of distant circumstances. Based on a sample of 400 articles from two national newspapers, The Guardian and The Times, the paper compares the content and discourse between the left-wing and right-wing press. This paper looks at how the British media addressed the issue of migration in Europe between 20, four years when the topic was high on news and political agendas, due to the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ and the UK’s debate on Britain’s relationship with the European Union and free movement of people. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Probably the most famous poem Rossetti wrote. Undoubtedly one of Tennyson’s greatest poetic achievements. The poem, partly inspired by Arthurian legend (hence the presence of the knight, Lancelot) and partly by Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, has been read variously as an allegory about the world of fancy and the world of reality, and as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, with the idyllic world of magic and legend which Tennyson depicts being threatened by the arrival of new forces. ![]() Tennyson’s classic narrative poem exists in two versions: a 20-stanza poem published in 1833, and the revised version of 19 stanzas – which is the one readers are most familiar with – which was published in 1842. See the link above to read the poem in full and learn more about it.Īlfred, Lord Tennyson, ‘ The Lady of Shalott’. The narrator starts to view the raven as some sort of prophet. The unnamed narrator sits up late one dreary winter night, mourning the loss of his beloved, Lenore, when a raven appears at the window and speaks the repeated single word, ‘Nevermore’. According to Poe himself, in a later work of literary analysis, if he hadn’t had a change of heart we might well be reading a poem called, not ‘The Raven’, but ‘The Parrot’ (although he may have been pulling his readers’ legs there). It is the only literary work to inspire the name of a sporting team (the American Football team the Baltimore Ravens). This poem had to head the list of a selection of Edgar Allan Poe’s best poems, really. ‘’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, ‘tapping at my chamber door. While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,Īs of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Longfellow’s poem did much to create the modern ‘myth’ of Paul Revere, whose celebrated night-time ride wasn’t mentioned in obituaries reporting his death in 1818. ![]() Revere awaits the signal telling him how and where the British will attack American troops, and when he hears they are attacking by sea, the devout patriot rides full pelt across Massachusetts to warn his fellow Americans. One of the most famous poems about the American Revolution (or War of Independence), Longfellow’s narrative poem, published in 1860, details the journey made by the American patriot Paul Revere on 18 April 1775, with, once again, a good side-helping of poetic licence thrown in. On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, ‘ Paul Revere’s Ride’. It’s not quite as creepy as that summary makes it sound, and the way Keats tells it is deliciously compelling and lyrical. On a cold night in a medieval castle, a young lover breaks into his sweetheart’s chamber, hides in her closet, and then persuades her semi-conscious self to run away with him. This is, along with Coleridge’s poem, one of the finest narrative poems to come out of the English Romantic movement.

Now the connection to the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks lies in the idea of what can you use people for. If you are into the idea of clones and that section of bioethics then this is the book for you! it deals with all those things and it really shows Matteo for what he is, a clone who has ambitions and wants and emotions, just like you or me. taking someones free will away is no different from killing them in my opinion. they are forced to work until they die, and they don’t do anything unless they are told to. These people are forced to work with no free will because of the computer chip in their brain. Now the other bioethical issue at hand is the Immigrant workers. Other than that, there was nothing different about it. he seems like a normal person and the only difference was that he had a barcode tattoo on his foor. Whenever we see Matt, he has emotions and the curiosity of a child, as he is one for the first part of the book. I always saw Matt as a person, as a character, and that is what the author aimed to do. This treatment seems harsh to us because we think that people shouldn’t be treated like animals. The Alacran all move to different wings of the house because of the fear that he can contaminate them. one character in the Alacran House calls him a “filthy beast” and decides that he should be treated as so, locking him in a room with sawdust to use as litter, and such abusive treatment. There are many Bioethical issues presented in the novel, the first one being clone rights and which begets the question, are clones people and should they have rights? When you read the book and see the way that the people treat him once they found out he was a clone, it sounds brutal and disgusting. The people in the country are mostly immigrants who tried and failed to cross the border, and were implanted with a chip in their brain to make them work without having any free will of their own. Matteo (clone) lives in the country of Opium, a strip of land between the United States and Mexico in which El Patron rules over. A little backstory before i talk about the issue at hand. The House of the Scorpion is a novel written by Nancy Farmer that tells the story of Matteo Alacran, a young clone who was made for the sole purpose of giving his organs to the original 148 year old Matteo Alacran (known as El Patron), a powerful drug lord who wishes to live as long as possible. ![]() ![]() Little more than a teaser with a suggestion that we'll see "hell on Earth," but the end of the world is apparently going to take a very long time in Doom Eternal.
