Outcrop-to-Subsurface Stratigraphic Correlations of the Upper Desmoinesian and Lower Missourian Stages (Pennsylvanian) in Eastern Kansas
Get PDFPennsylvanian (Upper Carboniferous) strata in eastern Kansas have been investigated for more than 120 years. We have determined, however, that discrepancies arising from emphases on either outcrop observations or subsurface data, as well as the loss of some key outcrops since their first descriptions, created major problems in prior stratigraphic interpretations. One particularly problematic stratigraphic interval contains the boundaries between units in the Marmaton (Desmoinesian) and Pleasanton (Missourian) groups, which encompasses the global Moscovian-Kasimovian stage boundary. We use 246 petrophysical well logs, especially gamma ray and neutron logs, to provide greater stratigraphic control among 22 previously described type outcrops, neostratotypes, and principal reference localities. Nine new stratigraphic cross sections resulting from our analysis of these data permit innovative interpretations of ancient facies belts as well as a reassessment of the geometry and structural history of the Cherokee–Forest City Basin. We make three recommendations regarding group boundaries on the basis of our analysis: 1) The boundary between the Cherokee and Marmaton groups should be placed at the base of the Excello Shale, thereby including the unit within the Marmaton Group. An unnamed limestone underlying the Excello Shale and observed in some areas should ideally be included within the Marmaton, but this unit will require further study. 2) The boundary between the Marmaton and Pleasanton groups should be placed at the base of the Nuyaka Creek Shale Member, as opposed to the standing placement at the base of the Hepler Sandstone. 3) The boundary between the Pleasanton and Kansas City groups should be maintained at the base of the Critzer Limestone Member of the Hertha Limestone. Additionally, we advocate the following changes to stratigraphic nomenclature in Kansas: 1) the Fort Scott Limestone should be revised to include the Excello Shale; 2) members of the Lenapah Limestone (the Idenbro Limestone Member, Perry Farm Shale Member, and Norfleet Limestone Member) should be abandoned because of prior miscorrelations; 3) the stratigraphic interval between the Lenapah Limestone and the Nuyaka Creek Shale Member correlates to either the Holdenville Shale or Memorial Shale—therefore, we leave this interval unnamed; and 4) with our proposal to place the lower boundary of the Pleasanton Group at the base of the Nuyaka Creek Shale Member, the lower boundary of the Lost Branch Formation should likewise be moved to that same level. The stratigraphic contexts of the Seminole, Tacket, and Shale Hill formations remain to be clarified by future work
A possible drug interaction between sodium valproate and clonazepam resulting in severe drowsiness and limb weakness：A case report and literature review
Get PDFThe treatment process of an 11-year-old girl diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, who experienced severe drowsiness and limb weakness following the combination of sodium valproate and clonazepam, is analyzed herein. Initially, the patient was prescribed levetiracetam, clobazam, clonazepam, and sodium valproate. However, she subsequently developed significant lethargy and weakness in her limbs. Upon her admission, the clinical pharmacist take medication reconciliation the following day, identifying clonazepam as a highly relevant factor in her condition. The medical team collaboratively adjusted the inappropriate medications. Ultimately, the patient\u27s symptoms improved, leading to her discharge
Los pasos del indio: notas sobre el indigenismo revolucionario de Manuel Zapata Olivella
No full textEn este artículo me ocupo de Los pasos del indio (1958), una obra de teatro de Manuel Zapata Olivella (1920-2004). Luego de consultar su archivo personal, que hoy reposa en la universidad de Vanderbilt, y de cotejar allí las diferentes versiones de la obra, indagué sobre los procesos culturales que explican esa proliferación de versiones. Sin embargo, antes de explorar sus variaciones, era preciso analizar el contexto de aparición de la obra, 1958, y entender por qué el joven Zapata Olivella visitaba el indigenismo revolucionario, una vanguardia ya para entonces tardía. Del mismo modo en que el Instituto Nacional Indigenista (México) y el Instituto de Estudios Etnológicos (Perú) están respectivamente engranados en la vida y obra de Juan Rulfo y José María Arguedas, las reescrituras de Los pasos del indio están ligadas al quehacer etnográfico de la Fundación Colombiana de Investigaciones Folclóricas, que Zapata Olivella fundara en 1973. Los cambios del drama responden al modo en que los estudios de la Fundación van impeliendo a Zapata Olivella a reescribir, una y otra vez, su idea sobre la cultura Wayúu. Es decir, la obra se ve obligada a convalidar, desde la literatura, el empeño antropológico de la Fundación. Este artículo, por tanto, da cuenta de cómo operaron las lógicas y prácticas folcloristas de Zapata Olivella, y su carga institucional, en la construcción de un drama que pone en tensión muchos de los imaginarios críticos sobre la cultura Wayúu y el indigenismo en Colombia
Acquired adermatoglyphia associated with sporadic inclusion body myositis
Get PDFA 70-year-old male patient with inclusion body myositis presented to dermatology clinic for evaluation of loss of fingerprints. Eight years previously, he had fingerprints taken for a government permit. Inclusion body myositis (IBM) was diagnosed four years later after the patient developed muscle weakness in his left lower extremity and right upper extremity and was confirmed by muscle biopsy. The patient also reported loss of skin lines that gave his fingers a shiny appearance, most prominently on the left hand, which he had associated the inclusion body myositis due to weakness in this hand. He was unable to renew the government permit due to an inability for the machine to read his fingerprints. Upon exam, the fingers of his hands, most prominently the left 3rd and 4th digits, had a smooth texture and glossy appearance circumferentially associated with diminution of skin lines and palmar dermatoglyphs. Workup for connective tissue and other autoimmune diseases was negative. This case suggests asymmetric adermatoglyphia may distinguish a subset of patients with IBM.
