Magnetic and orbital dichroism in (e,2e) ionization of sodium.

We present the first measurement of (e,2e) ionization cross sections for a laser oriented atomic target by spin polarized electrons. Cross sections are presented as a function of target orientation and polarization direction of the incident electron beam. This study provides insight into mechanisms by which angular momentum is transferred from the valence electron to the two final-state continuum electrons in both singlet and triplet spin channels, by comparing measurement with distorted wave Born approximation and the dynamically screened three Coulomb wave calculations.

Maxillofacial trauma.

Maxillofacial trauma runs the full gamut from minor discomfort to life-threatening injuries. Principles of airway management, adequate breathing, and circulation are paramount in the initial management. Health care professionals must anticipate problems based on a knowledge of anatomy and the pathophysiology of facial trauma and initiate treatment measures that decrease morbidity and mortality. Creative nursing approaches, based on a knowledge of physiologic needs and pathophysiologic consequences of facial trauma, are the keys in the convalescent phase as the patients struggle with alterated anatomy, sensory losses, and fear.
