Should we pre-oxygenate?
The importance of routine pre-oxygenation before induction of anaesthesia was demonstrated in animals.

This allows time for an atraumatic and a panic-free intubation before controlled ventilation. After pre-oxygenation ...
متن کاملCan we look inside a dynamo?
For a simple spherically symmetric mean-field dynamo model we investigate the possibility of determining the radial dependence of the coefficient α. Growth rates for different magnetic field modes are assumed to be known by measurement. An evolutionary strategy (ES) is used for the solution of the inverse problem. Numerically, we find quite different α-profiles giving nearly the same eigenvalue...

Historical reports of "insanity" or "weak mindedness" after anesthesia appeare...

Endosonography is not used in the primary detection and diagnosis of gastric cancer, but as a supplementary method that, besides the basic detection of the presence or absence of a tumour, gives additional information ...
