BackgroundPeople who use alcohol and/or drugs (PWUAD) are at higher risk of infectious disease, experiencing stigma, and recurrent hospitalization.Further, they have a higher likelihood of death once hospitalized when compared SIDE BOARD to people who do not use drugs and/or alcohol.The use of harm reduction strategies within acute care settings ha
The concept of damage control surgery was first described for the purpose of treating medically un-stable patients with abdominal trauma.The purpose of such surgery is rapid control of hemorrhage and contamination, not definitive repair Slippers of injuries.The goal is to improve survival of patients with the potentially lethal triad of hypothermia
Summary:.The DIEP flap is currently considered the gold standard for autologous reconstructive breast surgery.Postoperative flap failure due to microvascular postanastomotic thrombotic occlusion is a rare but severe complication.Alteplase, a thrombolytic agent typically used in the setting of an ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, or pulmonary
We have studied the composition dependence of density of liquid water-DMSO mixtures at different temperatures by using the isobaric-isothermal (NPT) molecular dynamics computer simulations.The non-polarizable semi-flexible, P1 and P2 models for the DMSO molecule combined with the TIP4P-2005 water model are considered.The excess mixing volume and th
Abstract Background The use of animal models with depleted intestinal microbiota has recently increased thanks to the huge interest in the potential role of these micro-organisms in human health.In particular, depletion of gut bacteria using antibiotics has recently become popular as it represents a low cost and easy alternative to germ-free animal
