PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and economic impact of a maximum of 2 doses of intraluminal volume 1 mg/1 mL dose alteplase for the clearance of occluded peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines at a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH). METHODS Open-label, nonrandomized quasi-experimental trial taking place over a 3-month period from December 2013 to March 2014. Patients had a s...

SOURCE/DESCRIPTION: A full length (1.1 kb) human EPA cDNA * clone inserted in p91023(B) at the EcoRI restriction site * (1). POLYMORPHISM: Bglll identifies a two allele polymorphism with • bands of approximately 12 kb (Al) or 9.5 and 2.5-kb (A2). « t FREQUENCY: A total of 102 X chromosomes from 54 unrelated individuals was examined. £ Al (12 kb allele): 0.66 PvuII or Xbal with a panel of three ...

The use of peripheral nerve block as the sole anesthetic in infants is not very common. Studies have demonstrated that ultrasound guided (USG) peripheral nerve block is associated with higher overall success rate when compared with nerve stimulation (Rubin et al., 2009, and Gelfand et al., 2011). Described below is a medically complex infant who had an USG axillary brachial plexus block for per...

The author contends that sex differentials in childhood mortality in Pakistan are a likely outcome of son preference behavior by parents. Consideration is given to the historical improvement in the female disadvantage in mortality, the neglect of female children, gender and class factors, and son preference and high fertility. Data are from the 1981 Pakistan census and other official surveys....

Aqueous Al-Ion Batteries In article number 2101514, Xinhua Liu, Dennis Y. C. Leung, and co-workers propose a high-performance aqueous Al-ion battery with SWCNT cathode an aluminum foil anode. A water-in-salt electrolyte is used to provide multiple electrochemical species so that AlCl4− ions can be extracted Al3+ inserted from/into the during discharging, providing high-energy-density output. Th...

Therapeutic strategies based on the insertion of cytokine or other immunostimulatory genes into the genome of tumour cells followed by vaccination with the resulting genetically modified, cytokine-producing, irradiated vaccines represent a new potential prospect for the treatment of cancer patients. The vaccines carrying inserted immunostimulatory genes were, for the first time, designed and su...

Mechanical activation of quartz grains in a dry atmosphere causes triboelectric charging that can capture CO2 quantitatively (Thøgersen et al., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cplett.2021.139069). Based on electron structure calculations, we propose mechanism for this process. According to the mechanism, is inserted lattice form an anchored CO3 moiety. Predicted 13C chemical shifts product agree with...
