The genome sequence of a hoverfly, (Loew, 1840).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male (hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 395.0 megabases in span.

The genome sequence of the parsley Cheilosia, (Meigen, 1822).

We present a genome assembly from an individual female (the parsley Cheilosia; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 354.1 megabases in span.

The genome sequence of a conopid fly, (Linnaeus, 1767).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male (conopid fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Conopidae). The genome sequence is 243.3 megabases in span.

The genome sequence of the Figwort Cheilosia, (Panzer, 1798).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male (the Figwort Cheilosia; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 414.7 megabases in span.

A comparison of three techniques for cricothyrotomy on a manikin.

Background: Cricothyrotomy can either be performed by an "open" cricothyrotomy technique, or by a needle (Seldinger) technique. Clinical uncertainty exists regarding which technique is more effective. We compared three different techniques for cricothyrotomy, performed by anesthesiologists on a manikin.

Recruitment manoeuvres in acute respiratory distress syndrome: Little evidence for routine use.

The use of alveolar recruitment manoeuvres for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome is a topic of uncertainty in current critical care practice. Acute respiratory distress syndrome leads to inflammatory atelectasis, which challenges the gas exchange properties of the lung. Recruitment of atelectatic lung tissue requires elevation of transpulmonary pressure.
