INTRODUCTION Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation with appropriate airway management improves outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Historically, tracheal intubation has been accepted as the optimal form of OHCA airway management in the UK. The Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee recently concluded that newer supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are safe and ef...

BACKGROUND Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can lead to drastic problems for the patient and its worldwide prevalence is 5%-12%. It also has many comorbidities with other disorders, and the genetic contribution seems the most significant cause. OBJECTIVES The current study was conducted to investigate the association between norepinephrine transporter-3081 (A/T) polymorphisms a...

Meltwater produced at the surface of glaciers and ice sheets has important implications for basal sliding rates therefore flow velocities. In order to determine role supraglacial water in dynamics predict future changes, we first need understand be able accurately moulin input rates. To this end, present Subaerial Drainage System (SaDS) model. SaDS is a dynamic model that couples runoff bare-ic...

Abstract Objective Single-anastomosis duodenal switch (SADS) has emerged in recent years as an alternative to the standard double-anastomosis (DADS). The objective of this study was compare short- and medium-term outcomes between SADS DADS. Methods Data collected Ontario Bariatric Registry 2010 2019 were used for retrospective determine patients undergoing primary laparoscopic versus DADS at a ...

Background: The gold standard technique for preserving a patent airway throughout anaesthesia is tracheal intubation. I-gel relatively new addition to the SADs. has combined concept of non-cuffed SADs like SLIPA and gastric tube proseal LMA yet retaining shape laryngeal mask. Hence, we have compared ease insertion, number duration insertion attempts among two devices. Methods: This study was co...

This paper discusses the current shortfalls in support for the pre-coding phases of a discrete event simulation project. The paper then presents a process modelling technique, Simulation Activity Diagrams (SADs), developed to specifically support the initial requirements gathering phases of a simulation project. The paper concludes with an outline of proposed future developments to the modellin...

BACKGROUND The Child Bipolar Questionnaire (CBQ) is a rapid screener with a Core Index subscale of symptom dimensions frequently reported in childhood-onset bipolar disorder (BD) and scoring algorithms for DSM-IV BD, with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the proposed Narrow, Broad, and Core phenotypes. This report provides preliminary data on the reliability and ...
