Racial and ethnic disparities in obstetric anal sphincter injury: cross‐sectional study in the USA
ABSTRACT Objectives Racial disparities in obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) are poorly understood; their investigation by parity, obstetric history and mode of delivery may provide insight into which individuals are at the greatest risk for OASI. We aimed to quantify the association of race and ethnicity with OASI, stratified by parity, obstetric ...

Constructing a control-ready model of EEG signal during general anesthesia in humans [PDF]
Significant effort toward the automation of general anesthesia has been made in the past decade. One open challenge is in the development of control-ready patient models for closed-loop anesthesia delivery. Standard depth-of-anesthesia tracking does not readily capture inter-individual differences in response to anesthetics, especially those due to age,

Epidural Pressures and Spread of Epidural Anesthesia
硬膜外腔圧と硬膜外麻酔の広がりとの関係について, これまでに報告された研究を概説した. 硬膜外腔に薬液を注入したときに生ずる硬膜外腔の圧変化を椎間孔の開存性だけで説明することはできない. 硬膜外腔の圧変化を頭蓋腔を含めた圧緩衝システムの応答としてとらえると, 硬膜外腔のコンプライアンスが大きく, 抵抗が小さいほど, 薬液注入によって硬膜外腔の潜在空間が物理的によく広がると考えられる.

Management of Vocal Fold Leukoplakia
ABSTRACT Vocal fold leukoplakia (VFL) is a descriptive term for a white plaque in the true vocal folds (TVF). It is estimated at 10.2 cases per 100,000 males and 2.1 per 100,000 females. The most critical aspect of managing a VLF is achieving an accurate pathological diagnosis, since a white plaque in the TVF can have numerous differential diagnoses ...
