Capillary Refill Time and Serum Lactate as Predictors of Mortality and Postoperative Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Requirement in Congenital Heart Surgery
Multiple tissue perfusion markers are described to guide therapy in critically ill pediatric patients undergoing congenital heart surgery. Given the advantages of capillary refill time, our goal is to determine its predictive capacity for mortality and postoperative extracorporeal oxygenation requirements in congenital heart surgery and compare it to serum lactate. We conducted a prospective cohort observational study in a single high-complexity …
Estimated economic impacts of seven invasive alien species in Chile
This findings abstract presents preliminary estimates of the economic impact of seven invasive alien species (IAS) in Chile on productive sectors of the economy and biodiversity. The study was required by decision-makers as part of the research of the project “Strengthening National Frameworks for Invasive Alien Species Governance” funded by GEF (Global Environmental Facility). The impacts of beaver (Castor canadensis), rabbit (Oryctolagus cunicu…
The Flying Dutchman, English Spectacle and the Remediation of Grand Opera
Richard Wagner wrote in 1852 that in settling on the theme of the phantom ship he had entered 'upon a new path, that of Revolution against our modern Public Art', that is, grand opéra . Wagner's revolution has often been described in light of the poetics of return and homecoming that contributed a new sense of identity to (German) opera. The present article is written against the grain of this conviction, and highlights the cosmopolitan career of…
Racial and Ethnic Disparity in Oral Cancer Awareness and Examination
These data suggest the need to improve the oral cancer awareness and examination rate in New York State. Routine examination of the mouth by primary care providers as part of a physical examination would provide the best opportunity for improving the low oral cancer examination rates in minority populations
Detection of Very Early Oral Cancers in Puerto Rico
We evaluated a possible disparity in the detection of very early oral cancers in Puerto Rico relative to the United States. The percentage of in situ (noninvasive) cases among all oral cancer cases was calculated separately for Puerto Rico and the United States using population-based cancer registry data (1992–2001). In situ cancers constituted 1.2% of oral cancer cases in Puerto Rico and 3.4% in the United States (P
Paan and Gutka Use in the United States
Smokeless tobacco and areca nut are popular with South Asians and South Asian immigrants, most commonly used as paan and gutka. Their regular use leads to oral cancer. The South Asian community in the U.S. is rapidly growing, where paan and gutka are readily available. The study was the first exploration of the migration of the paan and gutka habits, and their use in the U.S.A 108-item questionnaire on paan and gutka usage and beliefs was adminis…
Thinking Through Cancer Risk
The perception of cancer risk motivates cancer risk reduction behaviors. However, common measurement strategies for cancer risk perceptions, which involve numerical likelihood estimates, do not adequately capture individuals' thoughts and feelings about cancer risk. To guide the development of novel measurement strategies, the authors used semistructured interviews to examine the thought processes used by smokers (N = 15) as they considered their…
