The assessment of genetically modifi ed (GM) crops for regulatory approval currently requires a detailed molecular characterization of the DNA sequence and integrity of the transgene locus. In addition, molecular characterization is a critical component of event selection and advancement during product development. Typically, molecular characterization has relied on Southern blot analysis to es...

Background  An active intravenous substance use disorder is often the primary cause of infectious diseases in this population of users and creates a barrier to successful parenteral antimicrobial management. The dilemma is compounded by dramatically limited resources in small US towns. Methods This retrospective review from January 2014 through July 2016 aimed to develop a risk stratification a...

OBJECTIVE We describe a case series constituting the first clinical trial by intravenous (IV) team nurses using the sonic flashlight (SF) for ultrasound guidance of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement. METHODS Two IV team nurses with more than 10 years of experience with placing PICCs and 3 to 6 years of experience with ultrasound attempted to place PICCs under ultrasound ...

OBJECTIVE To observe and analyze the application effect of ultrasound-guided modified Seldinger technique (MST) in Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) catheterization. METHODS Two hundred patients treated with PICC catheterization from January 2013 to December 2015 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, namely, observation group and control group. The observation group ...

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical application of the intracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) guided Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) tip placement among neonates. BACKGROUND the ECGs of neonates are difficult to perform and their wave shapes are of doubtful accuracy due to various interfering factors. METHOD 115 neonates were admitted to perform PICC guided by IC-ECG. Logistic...

In one hospital in southern Georgia, the review and analysis of 500 peripherally inserted central catheter procedural attempts by designated, specialty nurses using microintroducer technique and ultrasound guidance revealed an overall catheter placement success rate of 94.6%. This research analysis also provided information on the disposition of those 6-French dual-lumen and triple-lumen, power...

To the Editor: Over recent years, invasive hypertension treatments have led to a new clinical condition, called device-resistant hypertension (DRH).1 DRH is defined as blood pressure (BP) >140/90 mm Hg, with at least 3 antihypertensives at maximal doses, including a diuretic,2 without BP decrease after the invasive treatments. These patients are not infrequent and are obliged to visit several h...

PURPOSE There are limited contemporary data describing the rates of catheter-related deep vein thrombosis (CRDVT) and central line-associated bloodstream infection for peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) and centrally inserted central venous catheters (CICCs) in the medical intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of 200 PICCs (dual/tripl...

• The relative stability of various S 3 intermediates with Mn(IV) 4 valence for CaMn O 6 cluster OEC PSII were investigated by hybrid DFT and DLPNO-CC calculations. Interpretation the intermediate spin states state performed exact diagonalization Hamiltonian. computational results indicated nearly degeneracy among right left opened hydroxide intermediates. DLPNO-CCSD(T 0 ) calculations coupled ...
