EEG bispectral index sensor guidance improves accuracy and safety of procedural sedation.

Purpose: To re-audit compliance with an amended sedation protocol following the latest national guidelines. To confirm the improved safety achieved through EEG guidance for drug administration during procedural sedation.

Materials And Methods: Following the revision of the departmental protocol, 14 standards were set.

Sarcopenia in Children Post Liver Transplant: Development of a Home-Based Video Program to Support Muscle Strength and Function-A Pre-Post Controlled Pilot Study.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is common in children after liver transplantation (LTx). Resistance training (RT) may be effective in combating sarcopenia.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to test the feasibility and impact of a 12-week RT program on skeletal muscle mass (SMM), muscle strength, physical performance (PP), and child-parent perspectives about RT.

Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals the Heterogeneous Role of Conducting Films Upon Electrical Stimulation.

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries and neurodegenerative diseases have markedly poor prognoses and can result in permanent dysfunction due to the general inability of CNS neurons to regenerate. Differentiation of transplanted stem cells has emerged as a therapeutic avenue to regenerate tissue architecture in damaged areas. Electrical stimulation is a promising approach for directing the differentiation outcomes and pattern of outgrowth of transplanted stem cells, however traditional inorganic bio-electrodes can induce adverse effects such as inflammation.

The spectrum of Ih ice using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.

Here, we report the frequency-dependent spectrum of ice Ih in the range of 0.2-2 THz. We confirm the presence of a feature that blue-shifts from around 1.
