Creating an Extremely Long-lasting Neuroischemic Wound Model.

In wound study and dressing development, a lack of a suitable animal model that can recapitulate the complex pathophysiology of human chronic wounds has been a major hurdle. Chronic wounds are defined as wounds that heal with a significant delay, usually over a period >2-3 months, but no current animal wound model has such a longischemia. After a longexploration, our group has developed an animal wound model with ischemia and nerve damage lasting for at least 6 months.

Impact of various additives and their combinations on the consolidation characteristics of clayey soil.

Improving highway bases is the most crucial step that enhances pavements' performance and long-term durability. Lime and Portland cement are commonly used in soil stabilization endeavors. Nevertheless, the substantial carbon emissions associated with cement and lime manufacturing have led to a growing interest in researching environmentally friendly additives.

Re-excision rates after breast-conserving surgery for invasive breast cancer: an Albertan perspective.

Background: Re-operation after breast-conserving surgery for invasive breast cancer is variable among centres and individual surgeons. In this study, we aimed to characterize the current landscape of practice regarding re-operation for invasive breast cancer in the province of Alberta.

Methods: This study was a retrospective review of the Synoptec database for patients undergoing primary breast-conserving surgery for invasive breast cancer or reoperation in the province of Alberta in the year 2020.

Experimental exploration of fracture behavior (pure mode III) in eco-friendly steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete with waste tempered glass as coarse aggregates.

To aid in the creation of sustainable structures, scientists have utilized waste materials found in the environment to serve as alternatives for traditional resources in the construction sector. They have undertaken extensive investigations pertaining to this matter. In this particular study, tempered glass as waste glass coarse aggregate (WGCA) was substituted for natural coarse aggregate (NCA) at varying proportions of 15%, 30%, and 45% in the formulation of eco-friendly self-compacting concrete (SCC), combined with hooked-end steel fibers (SFs) at various volumes.

The Effectiveness of Direct Supervision by an Attending Compared To a Senior Resident on Quality of Supervision of Novice Anesthesiology Residents: A Randomized Study.

Background: New trainees are directly supervised by either an attending physician or a senior resident under indirect supervision from an attending physician. The main objective was to evaluate which type of direct supervision (attending vs. senior resident) would result in better quality of supervision to novice residents during their first month of training.
