Ambiguous Anatomy and Its Pain
Question: A 46-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 1-day history of sudden onset colicky central abdominal pain. She had been passing flatus until that morning and her last bowel motion was the day before. She had been tolerating diet without any nausea or vomiting. She had no significant medical history and had otherwise been previously fit and well throughout her life. She had no previous surgery and no previous endoscopic procedures. She was an active smoker. Her vital signs were normal on surgical review. Initially she appeared comfortable however on serial observations she appeared to develop waves of colicky and severe cramping pain. There was no abdominal distension noted. Her abdomen was generally tender maximally in the epigastrium with localized guarding. Her white cell count was 12.9 × 109/L and her C-reactive protein was 2.0 mg/L. Her serum electrolytes, renal function, liver function tests, and lipase were all normal.Full Tex
Using GHZ-State for Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing Without Code Table
[[abstract]]We proposed two multiparty quantum secret sharing schemes based on n-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-states (GHZ states), which are transformed from Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs by entanglement swapping. In our schemes, the dealer imposes messages by performing local unitary operations (I, sigma x, i sigma y, sigma z) on the n-particle GHZ state she holds, and the agents collaborate to deduce the dealer's messages by performing local unitary operations on their own qubit. The amount of dealer's secret message is positively related with the number of agents. The need of qubits is one-third less than the former schemes and, also, they can be reused for the next new round. The scheme (II) does not have to pre-share the code table, which increases the security without the risk of being stolen.[[note]]SC
