Article Synopsis
  • Thiophene is studied as a key example of excited state photophysics relevant to organic electronics, utilizing multiphoton ionization photoelectron imaging.
  • The research investigates the transitions from the ground state to the first two excited singlet states by analyzing photoelectron spectra and angular distributions.
  • The study confirms the ionization energies: 8.8 eV (adiabatic) and 9.6 eV (vertical) for the ground state, and 3.7 eV (adiabatic) and 4.4 eV (vertical) for the first two excited states.

A 19-year-old male presented with facial frostbite and severe oropharyngeal edema after prolonged riding of a snowmobile without any facial covering. The diffuse swelling eventually progressed to airway obstruction, requiring a surgical airway. No alternative explanation was found for his presentation, making this the first case found in the literature of airway obstruction secondary to environmental cold exposure.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between trainee level and surgical time and postoperative complications of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent ACLR at an academic orthopaedic ambulatory surgery center collected demographic and clinical information, including the number of trainees present and trainee level. Unadjusted and adjusted regression analyses assessed the association between trainee number and level with surgical time (time from skin incision to closure) and postoperative complications.
