M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 days (40–1083). There were a number of surgical indications: malignancy (n=25), risk reduction (n=40), revision (n=32) and delayed reconstruction (n=8). Incision type varied; wise pattern (32), IMF (48) and transverse/vertical (20). Mean mastectomy weight was 473g (73–1679), and median implant volume: 409cc (165–620). Length of stay was 0.96 days. Four patients experien...

M oday, O cber 9, 2017 levels. 30.6% of patients had high aFXa levels, including 12.2% of the population who were therapeutically anti-coagulated. Patient weight predicted enoxaparin metabolism (r2value of 0.45). When compared to patients given enoxaparin 40mg once daily, patients given enoxaparin 40mg twice daily 1) were significantly less likely to have low aFXa (9.2% vs. 44.1%, p<0.001), 2) ...

M oday, O cber 9, 2017 These models are rendered and imported into BlenderTM (Amsterdam, The Netherlands). They are then inverted along the vertical axis to create a working template of the contralateral ear. The depths of the scapha, triangular fossa and cymba are deepened to accentuate contours. Additional relief is added to the helical root for further definition. The final template is digit...

M oday, O cber 9, 2017 RESULTS: Twenty-one patients participated in the study. On average, Prineo closure took 58.38 seconds (2.50 s/cm) while subcuticular closure took 444.76 seconds (18.94 s/cm). Prineo closure was approximately 6.8 times faster (p=0.000) than subcuticular closure, saving an average of 6.4 minutes per incision. VSS scores were significantly better in patients with Prineo clos...

T oday, the pulmonary epithelium is generally accepted to possess unique properties that go far beyond the role as a mere physical barrier protecting an organism’s interior against the detrimental effects exerted by airborne environmental challenges, such as gases, particles, allergens or microorganisms. The specific tasks respiratory epithelial cells have to fulfil differ along the bronchiotra...

ank Greely writes, “[t]oday we are regularly making new discoveries about the functioning of the human brain, discoveries that have led many lawyers, philosophers, and neuroscientists to speculate about the consequences of our new understanding for the criminal justice system.”1 Greely notes that scholars have focused almost exclusively on questions of responsibility, reaching conclusions “from...

oday, we are witnessing important new developments that go beyond “traditional” chemical engineering. Engineers at many universities and industrial research centers are working on novel equipment and techniques that potentially could transform our concept of chemical plants and lead to compact, safe, energy-efficient, and environment-friendly sustainable processes. These developments share a co...

ur lives are often directed by chance occurrences. For Robert Guthrie, a lifelong interest in the cause of mental retardation came from a retarded son and a dedication to preventing mental retardation in phenylketonuria (PKU) came from the diagnosis of PKU in his wife’s mentally retarded niece. From these roots came Guthrie’s introduction f newborn screening for PKU 3 and, subsequently, to the ...
