Abstract Invited for this month's cover is the group of Scott McIndoe at University Victoria (Canada). The picture shows a pressurized reaction vessel with tubing leading out flask. That normally leads directly into an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer, where mass‐to‐charge ratio and relative abundance solution phase ions are measured. These data can be used to generate chronograms each...

ketamine is a promising alternative agent for pain control that offers benefit to traditional strategies, particularly in the setting of rib fracture. current pharmacologic therapies have clear adverse effects, and other options may be invasive, cost prohibitive, or marginally effective. we describe three consecutive patients with traumatic injuries including rib fracture for which a ketamine i...

We validated the usability of a new infusion pump interface designed with a situated Cognitive Engineering approach by comparing it to a reference interface using a novel testing method employing repeated measurements and process measures, in addition to traditional outcome measures. The sample consisted of 25 nurses who performed eight critical tasks three times. Performance measures consisted...

abstract background: phlebitis is the most common complication associated with peripheral intravenous infusion of amiodarone. the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of sesame oil on the prevention of amiodarone‑induced phlebitis. materials and methods: this is a double‑blind randomized controlled trial. thirty‑six patients hospitalized in a coronary care unit were randomly alloca...

This paper explores the use of deep learning-based computer vision for real-time monitoring flow in intravenous (IV) infusions. IV infusions are among most common therapies hospitalized patients and, given that both over-infusion and under-infusion can cause severe damages, rate fluid being administered to is very important their safety. The proposed system uses a camera film drip infusion kit ...

This study verified the efficiency of ovitraps combined with Saccharopolyspora spinosa and Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis for monitoring Aedes aegypti albopictus in laboratory field conditions. In laboratory, A. aegypti, there was no difference eggs number between treatments grass infusions. For albopictus, average higher infusion. dry season, control. rainy infusion resulted a egg density,...
