Dermatology Internet Yellow Page advertising.

Background: Patients may use Internet Yellow Pages to help select a physician.

Objective: We sought to describe dermatology Internet Yellow Page advertising.

Methods: Dermatology advertisements in Colorado, California, New York, and Texas at 3 Yellow Page World Wide Web sites were systematically examined.

UV tanning advertisements in high school newspapers.

Objective: To examine the increasing use of UV tanning parlors by adolescents, despite the World Health Organization recommendation that no one under the age of 18 years use UV tanning devices.

Design: We examined tanning advertisements in a sample of public high school newspapers published between 2001 and 2005 in 3 Colorado counties encompassing the Denver metropolitan area.

Results: Tanning advertisements appeared in newspapers from 11 (48%) of 23 schools.

The effect of anesthetic duration on kinetic and recovery characteristics of desflurane versus sevoflurane, and on the kinetic characteristics of compound A, in volunteers.

Unlabelled: This study documents the differences in kinetics of 2 h (n = 7) and 4 h (n = 9) of 1.25 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration (MAC) of desflurane (9.0%) versus (on a separate occasion) sevoflurane (3.

Time-dependent changes in heart rate and pupil size during desflurane or sevoflurane anesthesia.

Unlabelled: To better characterize alterations in autonomic function associated with prolonged anesthesia, we tested the hypothesis that the time-dependent effects of sevoflurane and desflurane differ. We studied seven male volunteers, each anesthetized for 8 h with 1.25 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration desflurane on one study day and with 8 h sevoflurane on another.

Dose-related biochemical markers of renal injury after sevoflurane versus desflurane anesthesia in volunteers.

Unlabelled: Sevoflurane (CH2F-O-CH[CF3]2) reacts with carbon dioxide absorbents to produce Compound A (CH2F-O-C[=CF2][CF3]). Because of concern about the potential nephrotoxicity of Compound A, the United States package label (but not that of several other countries) for sevoflurane recommends the use of fresh gas flow rates of 2 L/min or more. We previously demonstrated in humans that a 2-L/min flow rate delivery of 1.
