BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery is a complex, high-risk procedure with potential vulnerabilities for patient safety. The evidence base describing safety hazards in the cardiovascular operating room is underdeveloped but is essential to guide future safety improvement efforts. OBJECTIVE To identify and categorise hazards (anything that has the potential to cause a preventable adverse patient safety...

BACKGROUND Dental fear and anxiety (DFA) refers to the fear of and anxiety towards going to the dentist. It exists in a considerable proportion of children and adolescents and is a major dilemma in pediatric dental practice. As an Internet social medium with increasing popularity, the video-sharing website YouTube offers a useful data source for understanding health behaviors and perceptions of...

Several clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated gender dimorphism in immune and organ responsiveness and in the susceptibility to and morbidity from shock, trauma, and sepsis. In this respect, cell-mediated immune responses have been shown to be depressed in males following trauma-hemorrhage, whereas they were aintained/enhanced in proestrus females. Furthermore, sex hormones have b...

Abstract The recent and exciting discovery of superconductivity in the hole-doped infinite-layer nickelate Nd 1− δ Sr NiO 2 draws strong attention to correlated quantum materials. From a theoretical view point, this class unconventional superconducting materials provides an opportunity unveil physics hidden Here we study temperature doping dependence local spectrum as well charge, spin orbital ...

new forms of vanadium oxide nanoporous were fabricated using a simple chemical synthesis method. vanadium pentoxide (v2o5) nanoporous were synthesized by sodium metavanadate as precursor and ethylene glycol as surfactant. the samples were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem), field effect scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and x-ray diffraction (xrd), four...
