Perioperative Nurse\'s Role in Caring for Pregnant Patients With Aortic Dissections
Aortic dissection is a disease of the wall of the aorta in which the aortic blood bursts into the muscular layer of the great artery, thus forming a blood filled channel along the planes of the muscularis layer. This false lumen can re-rupture back into the true lumen, through a second distal intimal tear, creating a biluminal or double barrelled aorta. Due to weakened walls, there is threat of rupture into the surrounding tissue with fatal consequences. (Boon, R, Colledge, Walker, & Hunter, 2010)

Entrapment defense in criminal law
This paper examines the validity of entrapment defense used by a defendant who was found guilty and sentenced to five years imprisonment for possession of a controlled substance. The evaluation begins with presentation of two case briefs on specific case law related to entrapment. This is followed by an analysis of probable cause in approaching the defendant's vehicle while he parked at traffic lights, validity of the entrapment defense, and several options or possibilities of the case outcome.
