Anesthesiology Point of Care project.

We are developing a dynamic prototype visual communication system for the operating room environs. This has classically been viewed as an isolated and impenetrable workplace. All medical experiences and all teaching remain in a one to one closed loop with no recall or subsequent sharing for the training and education of other colleagues.

Some effects of protein-calorie undernutrition on the developing central nervous system of the rat.

Some effects of undernutrition were noted in the brains of 21-day-old pups undernourished from birth by being reared by nursing dams fed on a low protein diet. As compared to the normally fed control pups, the body weight, brain weight, and thickness of the parietal neocortex and paravermal cerebellar cortex were significantly lower in the undernourished pups (p less than 0.001), while the thickness of the cortices of the dentate gyrus and hippocampus CA3 only reached significance at the 5% level.

Hypothermia after cardiopulmonary bypass in man: amelioration by nitroprusside-induced vasodilation during rewarming.

The incidence, time course, and magnitude of hypothermia following apparently adequate rewarming from hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (defined as a nasopharyngeal temperature [NPT] of 37 C) were studied in 20 adult patients (Group I). In each patient a decrease in NPT (averaging 2.6 +/- .

The ponto-cerebellar projection in the rat: differential projections to sublobules of the uvula.

Microinjections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were made in different sublobules of the uvula (lobule IX, a, b, and c of Larsell, 1952) of the cerebellar cortex in the rat. These injections resulted in retrograde labeling of cells located in the pontine nuclei. Sublobule IXa receives a predominant input from a single column of cells situated in a dorsointermediate position in the caudal pontine nuclei.
