Fetal death secondary to needle laceration during 2nd trimester aminiocentesis: A case report

A case of fetal death secondary to a needle laceration during a second trimester amniocentesis is presented. The need for careful pathologic evaluation of fetuses lost subsequent to these procedures is stressed.     

Relationship between abundance of rodents and damage to agricultural crops

Developing a relationship between pest abundance and damage to crops is essential for the calculation of economic injury levels (EIL) leading to informed management decisions. The crop modelling framework, APSIM, was used to simulate the impact of mouse damage on yield loss on wheat where a long-term dataset on the density of mice was available (1983–2003). The model was calibrated using results from field trials where wheat plants were hand clipped to imitate mouse damage. The grazing effect of mice was estimated using the population density, daily intake per mouse and the proportion of wheat grain and plant tissue in the diet to determine yield loss. The mean yield loss caused by mice was 12.4% (±5.4S.E.; range −0.5 to 96%). There were 7/21 years when yield loss was >5%. A damage/abundance relationship was constructed and a sigmoidal curve explained 97% of variation when accounting for different trajectories of mouse densities from sowing to harvest. The majority of damage occurred around emergence of the crop when mouse densities were >100 mice ha⁻¹. This is the first time that field data on mouse density and a crop simulation model have been combined to estimate yield loss. The model examines the efficacy of baiting and how to estimate EILs. Because the broadscale application of zinc phosphide is cheap and effective, the EIL is very low (<1% yield loss). The APSIM model is highly flexible and could be used for other vertebrate pests in a range of crops or pastures to develop density/damage relationships and to assist with management.

浮尘天气对十堰空气质量的影响

以十堰市近几年来的气象统计和空气中总悬浮颗粒物的监测结果为例,探讨北方频发沙尘暴天气对十堰空气质量的影响及其影响的程度,认为沙尘暴天气对我省空气质量主要是以浮尘天气出现,总体影响不是很严重。本地扬尘、扬沙是影响十堰空气质量的主要污染物,而浮尘天气更加重了总悬浮颗粒物的污染程度。
