The value of Ems Mineral Salts in the treatment of rhinosinusitis in children
Summary The treatment of rhinosinusitis seen in the light of uncertain pathogenesis and variable symptoms is under discussion and ranges from the administration of antibiotics, decongestants and anti-allergic agents to no treatment. In this randomized, prospective, double-blind and controlled study the effect of a 14-day treatment (1–2 sprays into each nostril t.d.) with either isotonic Ems Mineral Salts (EMS) solution (Siemens & Co., Bad Ems, Germany) or xylometazoline solution (0.05%) was tested in children (n = 66) aged 2–6 years. Main outcomes: the degree of mucosal inflammation, nasal patency, general state of health, condition of the middle ear, auditory function as well as an assessm…
Nuclear charge distribution and rms radius ofC12from absolute elastic electron scattering measurements
Elastic electron scattering cross sections for the nucleus $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ have been measured in a momentum transfer range from 0.25 to 2.75 ${\mathrm{fm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. The data were analyzed in a model independent way with a Fourier-Bessel parametrization of the charge distribution. For the rms radius, the value ${〈{r}^{2}〉}^{\frac{1}{2}}=(2.464\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.012)$ fm (no dispersion corrections applied) has been obtained, and agrees with those of other electron scattering experiments and with muonic atom experiments, but disagrees with data obtained from measurements of muonic x-ray transitions with a crystal spectrometer which show a larger rms radius. The extracte…
