BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Intraosseous (IO) access has been used with good results in emergency situations, when venous access is not available for fluids and drugs infusion. The objective of this study was to evaluate IO a useful technique for anesthesia and fluids infusion during hemodynamic studies and when peripheral intravascular access is unobtainable. The setting was an university hospit...

In order to study the effects of iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles on Staphylococcus aureus, IO nanoparticles were synthesized via a novel matrix-mediated method using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The IO nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Further, S. aureus were grown in the presence of three different IO nanoparticle concentrations for fo...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to develop a bifunctional iron oxide (IO) nanoparticle probe for PET and MRI scans of tumor integrin alphavbeta3 expression. METHODS Polyaspartic acid (PASP)-coated IO (PASP-IO) nanoparticles were synthesized using a coprecipitation method, and particle size and magnetic properties were measured. A phantom study was used to assess the efficacy of PASP-...

Io adds of the order of 1000 kg s of ionized material to the jovian magnetosphere. Freshly produced molecular ions, such as SO and SO2, lead to the growth of ion cyclotron waves at frequencies characteristic of their gyro frequencies. These waves are seen over a region about 0.5 RJ radially inward and outward from Io and of similar or greater extent in the down wake direction but not upstream o...

The current binary understanding of membership in international organizations (IOs), especially regional (ROs), creates blind spots and biases our who matters IOs, as well why how they matter. Existing scholarship primarily looks at full member-states or non-state actors to capture influences such organizations. Associated states are often portrayed passive receivers IO rules instead active con...

The inferior olive (IO) sends excitatory inputs to the cerebellar cortex and cerebellar nuclei through the climbing fibers. In eyeblink conditioning, a model of motor learning, the inactivation of or a lesion in the IO impairs the acquisition or expression of conditioned eyeblink responses. Additionally, climbing fibers originating from the IO are believed to transmit the unconditioned stimulus...
