Integration of Certified Child Life Specialists to Decrease in Periprocedural Benzodiazepine Use: A Pilot Study.

Introduction: Periprocedural anxiety is common in pediatric patients and is characterized by tension, anxiety, irritability, and autonomic activation. Periprocedural anxiety increases during certain events including admission to the preoperative area, separation from caregivers, induction of anesthesia, and IV placement. A study of children aged 2-12 showed that perioperative anxiety in children may be influenced by high parental anxiety and low sociability of the child.

Microbiome structure variation and soybean's defense responses during flooding stress and elevated CO.

Introduction: With current trends in global climate change, both flooding episodes and higher levels of CO have been key factors to impact plant growth and stress tolerance. Very little is known about how both factors can influence the microbiome diversity and function, especially in tolerant soybean cultivars. This work aims to (i) elucidate the impact of flooding stress and increased levels of CO on the plant defenses and (ii) understand the microbiome diversity during flooding stress and elevated CO (eCO).

Anatomic single- and double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, part 2: clinical application of surgical technique.

The anterior cruciate ligament has been and is of great interest to scientists and orthopaedic surgeons worldwide. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was initially performed using an open approach. When the approach changed from open to arthroscopic reconstruction, a 2- and, later, 1-incision technique was applied.

"Anatomic" anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review of surgical techniques and reporting of surgical data.

Purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate studies published on anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Methods: A systematic electronic search was performed by use of the Medline and Embase databases. Studies that were published from January 1995 to April 2009 were included.
