Army medical treatment facilities (MTFs) use a surgery scheduling system that reviews historical OR times to dictate expected procedural time when posting new cases. At a single military institution there was a noted inflation to umbilical hernia repair (UHR) times that was leading to issues with under-utilized operating rooms. This is a retrospect...

The next-generation advanced molecular devices for clinical diagnostics and biomedical research are of great significance. Herein, a versatile electrochemical platform for glutathione (GSH) detection and its Boolean logic application in related biological pathways are achieved well. At first, GSH-Ag(I) complex is synthesized simply and greenly by c...

Clinicians are trained to diagnose disease and recommend treatments or procedures. This is the focus of much of undergraduate training, but delivery of healthcare depends on so much more than theoretical knowledge and technical skill. It is a complex environment where professionals from different backgrounds have to work together to deliver safe pa...

Robot-assisted extravesical ureteral reimplantation (REVUR) is a well established approach for surgical treatment of pediatric vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). However, further evidence is needed to confirm its efficacy even in case of complex anatomy. This study aimed to further confirm the evidence that REVUR is safe and effective in both simple and ...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sodium caseinate (SC) on the thermal stability of Monascus pigments (MPs) under acidic conditions (pH 3.0) during heating at 100 °C at different time (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min). The MPs solution was precipitated after heating in an acidic condition, while it was stable in the presence of SC. Particle size...

Background There are no previous studies that evaluate the effect of obesity on patients undergoing complex revision thoracolumbar spine surgery. The primary objective was to determine the relationship between obesity and perioperative adverse events (AEs) with patients undergoing complex revision thoracolumbar spine surgery while controlling for p...
