Background: The anticipation of a challenging airway can be demanding in emergency care settings. Due to the patient’s clinical condition, executing pre-intubation screening tests during management an situation sometimes troublesome. Ultrasonographic assessment may become helpful tool, but no specific sonographic measurements precisely visualize prospect meeting difficult airway. Therefore, pre...

INTRODUCTION: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the usefulness video-assisted (VL) approaches with Macintosh direct laryngoscope for endotracheal intubation obese patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Studies were obtained via search SCOPUS, Medline, Web Science, CINAHL, Cochrane Central databases. The polled relative risks (RRs) odds...

The brown-headed nuthatch (Sitta pusilla) was likely extirpated from Missouri in the early 1900s as a result of habitat loss through extensive logging. Conservation partners including Department Conservation, United States Forest Service, University Missouri, and others, relocated 102 nuthatches Ouachita National Arkansas to Mark Twain 2020 2021 establish local population. We tracked 50 individ...

BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation in the lateral position is difficult because the laryngeal view is compromised during direct laryngoscopy. The Airway Scope facilitates intubation even when laryngeal views are poor with direct laryngoscopy, as they often are in the lateral position. We thus compared the efficacy of the Airway Scope in supine patients with those in the left- and right-lateral posi...

Abundance estimates are essential for fisheries management, but estimating the abundance of open populations with low recapture rates has historically been unreliable. However, by using mark-recapture data modulated survivability parameters obtained from analysis acoustic telemetry data, more accurate can be made species that exhibit these characteristics. One such is Atlantic sturgeon, which w...

Coastal rivers and estuaries provide habitat migratory corridors for freshwater estuarine-opportunists. We evaluated movement patterns of 61 blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) in the tidal York Rappahannock Virginia, USA with acoustic telemetry from July 2015 to June 2016. To evaluate river-specific movements, we utilized a multistate Cormack–Jolly–Seber (CJS) model within Bayesian framework est...

Artificial propagation is commonly used to reduce extinction risk for native, imperiled fish species. Thus, identifying stocking strategies that most effectively augment adult abundance a critical aspect of successful adaptive management. The threatened June sucker ( Chasmistes liorus) , endemic Utah Lake, UT, USA, experienced major declines in following extensive ecosystem degredation. Over 80...
