Optical Studies of the coexistence curve of the n-heptane+nitrobenzene mixture near its consolute point measured by an optical method [PDF]
We have measured the coexistence curve of the binary liquid mixture n-heptane+nitrobenzene near its consolute point using an optical method. In particular, the critical exponent beta describing the coexistence curve was measured for this system. Previous experimental values of beta for n-heptane+nitrobenzene were higher than the typical theoretically ...

A quantitative model for refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum during vascular smooth muscle asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations [PDF]
We have developed a quantitative model for the creation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ gradients near the inner surface of the plasma membrane (PM). In particular we simulated the refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via PM-SR junctions during asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations in smooth muscle cells of the rabbit inferior vena cava.

Pre-operative fasting times for clear liquids at a tertiary children’s hospital; what can be improved? [PDF]
Background The goal of preoperative fasting is to prevent pulmonary aspiration during general anesthesia. Fasting times are often prolonged leading to patient discomfort and risk for adverse events. This retrospective quality improvement survey evaluated

Machine learning-based analysis of hyperspectral images for automated sepsis diagnosis [PDF]
Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality and critical illness worldwide. While robust biomarkers for early diagnosis are still missing, recent work indicates that hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has the potential to overcome this bottleneck by monitoring microcirculatory alterations.

Is pneumoperitoneum the terra ignota in ultrasonography?
In most cases, pneumoperitoneum is caused by gastrointestinal perforation, which usually requires surgical treatment. Many authors believe that ultrasound imaging of pneumoperitoneum is at least as effective as conventional radiography, or even that ...
