Collecting chemical data for site characterization and remediation at former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites can be time consuming and costly, with sufficient data acquired at only a few sites. In response, EPRI has developed chemical analysis methods for utility use in generating data quickly and cost-effectively. This report presents results from a laboratory demonstration of sample prepar...

Immediately after recovery from anaesthesia, patients received a single dose of either placebo (saline, n = 22), granisetron (20 micrograms.kg-1, n = 22), dexamethasone (8 mg, n = 22) or c...

Chronic Ocular Surface Pain (COSP) is under-recognised, with no formal diagnostic criteria. COSP reported in relation to ophthalmic diagnoses/co-morbidities (e.g. dry eye disease, refractive surgery), but also manifests as a standalone pain condition. The objective was explore the patient experience of COSP. Qualitative, semi-structured, concept elicitation telephone interviews were conducted U...
