Introduction: Open electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) systems are customizable by consumers and often allow for potential "unorthodox" use of the product; that is, use not as intended by the manufacturer.

Methods: Monthly searches of YouTube were conducted from June through November 2016 using the following search terms: "e-cigarettes," "vaping," and "e-juice.
Background: Functional hemodynamic indicators (systolic pressure variation [SPV and SPV%] and pulse pressure variation [PPV%]) are sensitive and specific indicators of fluid responsiveness. It was unknown if these indicators could be accurately measured directly from the bedside monitor.
Objective: Determine the accuracy of SPV, SPV%, and PPV% measurements by using a stop-cursor method compared with a digitized analog strip (gold standard).
Objectives: To identify self-reported reasons for not filling a new prescription for statin therapy.
Study Design: A cross-sectional telephone survey.
Methods: Potential participants were identified from a randomized, controlled trial among Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) members aged >24 years with no record of redeeming a new statin medication, defined as primary nonadherence.
