Cheating after the test: who does it and how often?

Self-reports suggest >50% of university students cheat at some point in their academic career (Christensen Hughes JM, McCabe DL. 36: 49-63, 2006), although objective values of academic misconduct (AM) are difficult to obtain. In a physiology-based department, we had a concern that students were altering written tests and resubmitting them for higher grades; thereby compromising the integrity of our primary assessment style.

The impact of clonidine on sedation after adenotonsillectomy: a prospective audit.

Aims: Clonidine may be used intraoperatively to decrease emergence delirium in children, but the drug's impact on postoperative sedation is poorly quantified.

Methods: A prospective audit of children (≤15 years) undergoing (adeno) tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy over a period of 4 months was carried out. All children received sevoflurane for induction and maintenance of anesthesia.
