Background: The 2014 AAP Bronchiolitis Guidelines deimplemented or recommended against the routine therapeutic use of albuterol, hypertonic saline, and epinephrine for infants and children presenting in the outpatient setting. Our objective was to perform an umbrella review of all meta-analyses that included outpatient subanalyses or network meta-analyses with medication treatment comparisons to study the clinical benefits of these deimplemented medications in the outpatient (i.e.

Present in one in 800 humans, these chromosomes can underlie infertility, trisomies, and increased cancer incidence. Recognized cytogenetically for more than a century, their origins have remained mysterious.

The total number of gene copies is variable, and the mechanisms buffering this copy number variation remain unresolved. We surveyed the number, distribution, and activity of rDNA arrays at the level of individual chromosomes across multiple human and primate genomes.

We explore the model system AZrCl (A = Li, Na, Cu, Ag) to understand the fundamental role that A-site chemistry plays on fast ion transport. Having synthesised the previously unknown AgZrCl we reveal high room temperature ionic conductivities in CuZrCl and AgZrCl of 1 × 10 and 4 × 10 S cm, respectively.
