background: cuffed pharyngeal tube is a device designed for ventilation of anesthetized patients. cpt has advantages over face mask including: maintaining of face mask can be difficult and boring after several minutes and mobility of the practitioner is reduced due to involvement of hands. mask pressure can cause soft tissue and nerve damage around the nose. anesthetic gas leakage from the mask...

This essay responds to the emergence of plant as a new subject in contemporary theory. It focuses on two recent books that put vegetable life at center their analyses an effort reassess political landscape Western modernity from ground up. Yet face increasingly urgent climate disasters, these seem oddly demobilizing injunction cultivate more contemplative, less decisive disposition. To make sen...

An accelerated pace of life greatly impacts individuals' health and lifestyles. However, this imposition has not been systematically researched within a culturally diverse sample. Thus, study aimed to explore the subjective experience its correlates in sample German university context. This was done test whether students (N = 156) with migration background from other countries (n 105) differ wi...

stressful life events may play an important role in coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death. this study was performed to compare the frequency of stressful events and mental strain in patients with acute myocardial infarction (mi) and normal population. a case-control study was performed on 50 survivors of mi and 50 controls with no evidence of cardiovascular disease, matched by age, ge...

Poleward range extensions by warm-adapted sea urchins are switching temperate marine ecosystems from kelp-dominated to barren-dominated systems that favour the establishment of range-extending tropical fishes. Yet, such tropicalization may be buffered ocean acidification, which reduces urchin grazing performance and barrens fishes prefer. Using experiencing natural warming we show acidification...

Phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE) uses a modified filamentous bacteriophage life cycle to substantially accelerate laboratory evolution experiments. In this work, we expand the scope and capabilities of the PACE method with two key advances that enable the evolution of biomolecules with radically altered or highly specific new activities. First, we implemented small molecule-controlled...
