Abstract A new and enhanced microfine cement system is presented in this paper which can be used in challenging cement squeeze applications. There are numerous cement squeeze jobs conducted during workover operations every year within the State of Kuwait to prevent water influx. A very common challenge encountered during these applications is either low or no injectivity scenarios. Conventional cement slurries at 15.8-lb/gal density have more often than not resulted in failures while performing post job positive and negative pressure tests, even when the pressure tests are repeated multiple times. These failures can often be attributed to the fact that effective squeezing is not possible due to the larger cement particle size across a limited number of perforations due to early bridging of the cement. Similarly, conventional microfine cement systems which have also been used in these applications have had only limited success. To overcome these challenges, an improved and enhanced microfine cement design has been developed which is able to obtain higher compressive strengths at lower slurry densities (e.g. 12.5 to 13.0 lb/gal) versus the 15.8-lb/gal conventional slurries. This microfine cement design can be further modified to be used in high, low, and zero injectivity scenarios. It possesses several unique features including thixotropic, expansion, anti-gas migration, and strength retrogression properties. Initial field trials of the system have been very successful. The application of conventional microfine slurry systems in low injectivity scenarios is relatively common in the industry; however the enhanced microfine slurry design can be utilized in a variety of injectivity scenarios, or even in loss situations across perforations, casing leaks, or across the casing shoe. The new microfine cement slurry design has the potential of avoiding multiple squeeze jobs by achieving successful positive and negative pressure test results in a minimum number of attempts.

□ 1. Thirty consecutively selected low vision patients were evaluated on their performance in viewing a standard near-point chart and selected materials. This was done unaided and then with their customary low-vision aid, first hand-held and then viewed in the Optiscope Enlarger. 2. All subjects demonstrated an ability to read smaller point chart type and to do so at a greater distance with the Optiscope Enlarger. Varied responses on the selected materials might be attributable to word reading difficulties or the effect of the causative defect. 3. Some subjects did better without their low-vision aids or went to distance prescription lenses while using the Optiscope Enlarger. Use of this type of device indicates the necessity for testing for greater distance than normally associated with low-vision aids. 4. Responses of the subjects were 18 favorable, five questionable, and seven negative. It was found that room illumination had to be varied in certain cases. 5. Use of this device would permit simultaneous viewing by parent and child at home, reading at more normal distances, greater word and phrase span, and the viewing of technical diagrams. 6. The results of this evaluation indicate that the Optiscope Enlarger is of substantial value and warrants further investigation.

Our aim was to investigate the effects of the negative pressure reflex on mechanically opposing pharyngeal muscles during wakefulness, slow-wave sleep (SWS), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. In four goats with isolated upper airways, we measured tracheal airflow and electrical activity of the thyropharyngeus (TP; constricting), the stylopharyngeus (SP; dilating), and the diaphragm (Dia). In the wakefulness state in response to negative pressure tests, TP decreased (65%), SP increased (198%), and tidal volume (Vt) (66%) and rate of rise of Dia (Diaslope, 69%) decreased ( P < 0.02). Similarly, during SWS, the negative pressure response of TP (31%), Vt (61%), and Diaslope (60%) decreased, whereas SP (113%) increased, relative to SWS control ( P < 0.02). In REM sleep, the negative pressure response by TP and SP were small, whereas both Vt (38%) and Diaslope (24%) were greatly decreased ( P < 0.02) compared with REM control. Inspiratory duration remained unchanged in response to negative pressure tests in all states. These data provide evidence that mechanically opposing inspiratory and expiratory pharyngeal muscles are reciprocally controlled and their response to negative pressure are state dependent.

Abstract Experimental purpura was produced in the hamster by administration of anti-platelet serum obtained from rabbits previously injected with hamster platelets. Spontaneous petechiae and generalized bleeding were observed. The derangement in the hemostatic mechanism has been analyzed by study of the changes in blood, bone marrow and vessel walls. The platelet count in peripheral blood fell from 9.02 ± 0.85 (x 105) to 0.66 ± 0.32 (x 105) at 24 hours after 2.0 ml. intravenous injection of antiplatelet serum. The red cell and hemoglobin values dropped to 50 per cent before death related to generalized bleeding occurred. Significant changes were seen in the megakaryocytes of the bone marrow. The bleeding time and clot retraction were extended. Evidence for a defect in the vessel wall has been shown by the microelectrode, moccasin snake venom and negative pressure tests. The cause of bleeding has been postulated as a double defect resulting from a decrease of platelets in the circulation and an alteration in the integrity of the vessel wall or perivascular supporting sheath.
