BACKGROUND During resuscitation in the field, intraosseous (IO) access may be achieved using a variety of available devices, often attempted by inexperienced users. AIM We sought to examine the success rate and ease-of-use ratings of an IO device, the NIO® (New Intraosseous Persys Medical, Houston, TX, USA) in comparison to the Arrow® EZ-IO® (Teleflex Medical Research Triangle Park, NC, USA) ...

A full FPGA-based implementation of an energy efficient ONU featuring cooperative cyclic sleep is presented. Evaluations show that the ONU successfully switches between states and maximal energy saving is achieved without violating delay requirements. OCIS codes: (060.0060) Fiber optics and optical communications; (060.4250) Networks.

We used the cut-sensillum technique to assess the effect of both adult age and egg-to-adult development time on olfactory neuron responses of Z strain moths of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis. Compounds tested included the pheromone components, (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate and (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate, the behavioral antagonist, (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate, and components of the O....

Results are reported on the efficiency of polyfluorooctanol as a perfluorous auxiliary component in the aldol reaction between the enolate derived from polyfluorooctyl acetate and 2-fluorobenzaldehyde. Reduction of the corresponding polyfluoro beta-hydroxy ester with Super Hydride gave the required 1,3-diol in good yield.

Histamine membrane receptors are defined as either H1 (blocked by diphenhydramine-like antagonists) or H2 (blocked by cimetidine-like agents). We now report the solubilization, separation, and partial characterization of specific H1 and H2 membrane receptors from calf thymocytes. Membrane fragments were incubated with [3H]histamine either alone or with unlabeled histamine, diphenhydramine, or c...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Migraine headache is a common pediatric complaint among emergency department (ED) patients. There are limited trials on abortive therapies in the ED. The objective of this study was to apply a comparative effectiveness approach to investigate acute medication regimens for the prevention of ED revisits. METHODS Retrospective study using administrative data (Pediatric ...
