This randomized 5-week study assessed the clinical benefits of a high-emollient body wash versus a regular bar cleanser in terms of improving chronic winter dry skin condition. After 4 weeks, subjects who washed daily with a high-emollient body wash exhibited a significant reduction in all dermatologist-assessed dry skin attributes and improvements in self-evaluated skin condition when compared with baseline measures. Those subjects who washed with a regular bar cleanser experienced a minimal to marked increase in dermatologist-assessed and self-assessed dry skin attributes when compared with baseline. These findings suggested that bathing with a high-emollient body wash, as opposed to a regular bar cleanser, can reduce xerosis symptoms and improve skin health and appearance without the additional use of a moisturizer.

Classification of Scanning Errors of Digital Scans Recorded by Using Intraoral Scanners.
J Esthet Restor Dent
January 2025
Department of Restorative Dentistry, University of Washington; Founder and Director, Kois Center, Seattle, Wash; and Private Practice, Seattle, WA, USA.
Objectives: The different scanning errors that can be caused by the operator handling an intraoral scanner (IOS) or the intraoral conditions of the patient being scanned have not been described. The purpose of this review was to describe and classify the scanning errors that can be identified in digital scans recorded by using IOSs.
Overview: The identification of scanning errors in an intraoral scan and understanding the cause of these scanning errors are fundamental procedures for successfully handling an IOS and integrating these digital data acquisition technologies in dental practices.
Significant reduction in blood product usage, same early outcomes: Blood conservation in infants undergoing open heart surgery.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, Wash.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a blood conservation program on trends in use of donor blood products and early clinical outcomes in infants undergoing open heart surgery.
Methods: Four hundred nine patients younger than age 1 year undergoing open-heart surgery between October 1, 2020, and June 30, 2023, were reviewed. The study period was divided into 4 eras with the first era as a before blood conservation baseline using traditional blood management.
Identifying sex similarities and differences in structure and function of the sinoatrial node in the mouse heart.

Division of Cardiovascular Sciences, School of Medical Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom.
Background: The sinoatrial node (SN) generates the heart rate (HR). Its spontaneous activity is regulated by a complex interplay between the modulation by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and intrinsic factors including ion channels in SN cells. However, the systemic and intrinsic regulatory mechanisms are still poorly understood.

Wildlife managers and the public have expressed considerable interest in the use of contraception to help manage the populations of wild horses and burros ( and ). Field testing has shown that two preparations of the porcine zona pellucida (PZP) vaccine, a simple emulsion (ZonaStat-H) and PZP-22 (which supplements ZonaStat-H with a controlled-release component) effectively prevent pregnancy in individual mares and can substantially reduce population foaling rates. To determine whether some PZP preparations might have secondary effects that harm treated mares or their foals, we examined the effects of PZP-22 vaccinations and the follow-up boosters of either PZP-22 or ZonaStat-H on adult female body condition, foaling season, and foal mortality in two wild horse herds in the western USA, Cedar Mountains Herd Management Area, Utah (CM; 2008-2015), and Sand Wash Basin Herd Management Area, Colorado (SWB; 2008-2014).

Article Synopsis
- - Negative pressure breathing (NPBin) is a technique that lowers pressure in the respiratory tract during inhalation, aiming to boost blood flow to the heart and counteract fluid shifts in space.
- - This study analyzed the effects of NPBin for 25 minutes at pressure reductions of -10 to -25 cmHO, using various non-invasive measurement techniques to assess changes in circulation and respiration in healthy volunteers.
- - Results showed that NPBin increased tidal volume and decreased respiratory rate without significantly affecting overall minute ventilation, while circulatory parameters showed increased amplitude during breathing cycles, indicating a complex interaction between respiration and circulation.
