ABSTRACT

The first measurements of xF-dependent single-spin asymmetries of identified charged hadrons, pi+/-, K+/-, and protons, from transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at 62.4 GeV at RHIC are presented. Large asymmetries are seen in the pion and kaon channels. The asymmetries in inclusive pi+ production, AN(pi+), increase with xF from 0 to approximately 0.25 and AN(pi-) decrease from 0 to approximately -0.4. Observed asymmetries for K- unexpectedly show positive values similar to those for K+, increasing with xF, whereas proton asymmetries are consistent with zero over the measured kinematic range. Comparisons of the data with predictions of QCD-based models are presented.

ABSTRACT

We present particle spectra for charged hadrons pi(+/-), K(+/-), p, and p[over] from pp collisions at square root[s] = 200 GeV measured for the first time at forward rapidities (2.95 and 3.3). The kinematics of these measurements are skewed in a way that probes the small momentum fraction in one of the protons and large fractions in the other. Large proton to pion ratios are observed at values of transverse momentum that extend up to 4 GeV/c, where protons have momenta up to 35 GeV. Next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations describe the production of pions and kaons well at these rapidities, but fail to account for the large proton yields and small p[over]/p ratios.

ABSTRACT

A retrospective review of 114 solid organ donors over a 6-year period (1982-1987) was undertaken to identify problems in organ donor management and determine outcome of donated organs. Admission GCS was less than or equal to 4 in 84% of the donors. Complications included hypotension (81%), multiple transfusion requirements (63%), diabetes insipidus (53%), DIC (28%), arrhythmias (27%), cardiac arrest requiring CPR (25%), pulmonary edema (19%), hypoxia (11%), acidosis (11%), seizures (10%), and positive bacterial cultures (10%). Only 18% of organs were procured within 3 hours of brain death; 23% were procured more than 6 hours later. Six patients excluded from this study suffered cardiovascular collapse before their organs could be retrieved. From 114 organ donors, consent was obtained to procure 224 kidneys, 77 livers, 62 hearts, 35 pancreata, and ten heart-lung units. All 224 donated kidneys were procured and 202 were ultimately transplanted. Of 77 donated livers, 32 were procured; 31 transplanted. Of 62 donated hearts, 38 were procured; 29 transplanted and nine used for valves. Ten heart-lung units were donated; six were procured and transplanted. Of 35 donated pancreata, 11 were procured; only five were transplanted. Reasons for failure of donated organs to be procured or transplanted included abnormal organ characteristics, lack of compatible recipients, unavailability of surgical teams, organ injury during procurement, intraoperative arrest, and anatomic limitations precluding multiple organ procurement. This study identifies characteristics of organ donors and common organ-threatening complications. Rapid and continuing resuscitation of clinically brain dead trauma victims is mandatory.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
