OPERATIONAL OUTCOMES OF PROPOFOL SEDATION VERSUS FENTANYL, MIDAZOLAM AND DIPHENHYDRAMINE SEDATION FOR ENDOSCOPIES AND COLONOSCOPIES AT AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER.

Operational outcomes of propofol sedation versus fentanyl, midazolam and diphenhydramine sedation for endoscopies and colonoscopies at an academic medical center.

BackgroundOn July 1st, 2021, the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) implemented new sedation protocols in the luminal gastrointestinal (GI) suite.GI proceduralist supervised, Nurse Administered Sedation with fentanyl, midazolam, and diphenhydramine (NAS) sedation was transitioned to Monitored Anesthesia Care with propofol under physician anesthe

Interaction with a phage gene underlie costs of a β-lactamase

ABSTRACT The fitness cost of an antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) can ENDURA STRENGTH differ across host strains, creating refuges that allow the maintenance of an ARG in the absence of direct selection for its resistance phenotype.Despite the importance of such ARG-host interactions for predicting ARG dynamics, the basis of ARG fitness costs and th

Rubber Surface Change and Static Charging under Periodic Stress

Rubber materials play an important role in robotics, due to their sensing and actuating abilities, that are exploited in soft smart materials endowed with shape-adaptive and electroadhesive properties.The application of an electric field produces non-linear deformation that has been extensively modelled, but is not understood at the molecular level
