Quality comparison of remote anesthetic consultation versus on-site consultation in children with sedation for a magnetic resonance imaging examination-A randomized controlled trial.

Background: In the course of the corona pandemic, digital media has increasingly been used in many areas of medical practice to reduce personal contact. As it is of interest whether this can be practiced in the context of anesthesia consultations without loss of quality, we interviewed parents whose children received a cardiac or neuro magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under sedation. Parents either received an on-site or a remote consultation conducted by an anesthesiologist.

Estrogen receptor targeting with genistein radiolabeled Technetium-99 as radiotracer of breast cancer: Its optimization, characterization, and predicting stability constants by DFT calculation.

Objective: Genistein is an isoflavone molecule with a high affinity for estrogen receptors (ER), which could lead to the mechanism of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) in breast cancer. Genistein labeling with technetium-99 can be a new promising strategy for diagnostic breast cancer. In this research, we evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of the [Tc]Tc-genistein complex and describe the optimal labeling method parameters.

Comparing cost-utility of DMARDs in autoantibody-negative rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the 1-year cost-effectiveness between three different initial treatment strategies in autoantibody-negative RA patients, according to 2010 criteria.

Methods: For this analysis we selected all RA patients within the intermediate probability stratum of the treatment in the Rotterdam Early Arthritis Cohort (tREACH) trial. The tREACH had a treat-to-target approach, aiming for low DAS <2.

Venomic analysis and evaluation of antivenom cross-reactivity of South American Micrurus species.

Coral snakes from Micrurus genus are the main representatives of the Elapidae family in South America. However, biochemical and pharmacological features regarding their venom constituents remain poorly investigated. Here, venomic analyses were carried out aiming at a deeper understanding on the composition of M.

Antigenic, microbicidal and antiparasitic properties of an l-amino acid oxidase isolated from Bothrops jararaca snake venom.

Venoms from the bee Apis mellifera, the caterpillar Lonomia achelous, the spiders Lycosa sp. and Phoneutria nigriventer, the scorpions Tityus bahiensis and Tityus serrulatus, and the snakes Bothrops alternatus, Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu, Bothrops moojeni, Bothrops neuwiedi, Crotalus durissus terrificus, and Lachesis muta were assayed (800mug/mL) for activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Venoms from B.
