BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the streamlined liner of the pharynx airway (SLIPA) with the classic laryngeal mask airway when used by novice personnel. METHODS There were 114 patients enrolled into this study who underwent general anesthesia were randomly allocated into one of 2 groups; LMA group (n = 57) or SLIPA group (n = 57). After insertion, insertion success rate, inse...

Insulin first became available for use in 1922 after Banting and Best successfully treated diabetic patients with pancreatic extracts.10 In an attempt to more closely simulate physiologic conditions, additional “designer” insulins with unique kinetic properties have been developed, including a rapid-acting basal insulin that mimics baseline insulin secretion known as lispro.67,140 Several oral ...

The accelerating trend toward Faster, Better, Cheaper (FEE) missions places increasing emphas is on the trade-offs between requirements and risk to reduce cost and development times, while still improving quality and reliability. The Risk/Requirenlents Trade-off Guidelines discussed in this paper are part of an integrated approach to address the main issues by focusing on the sum of prevention,...

A Holocene lake sediment record spanning the past 7300 years from Wishart Lake in the Turkey Lakes Watershed in the Hemi-Boreal of central Ontario, Canada, was used to evaluate the potential drivers of long-term change in diatom assemblages at this site. An analysis of diatom assemblages found that benthic and epiphytic taxa dominated the mid-Holocene (7300-4000 cal yr BP), indicating shallow, ...
