Abstract Although one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in children and frequently performed as outpatient surgery, the postoperative course following tonsillectomy may include nausea, vomiting, poor oral intake, and pain. These problems may last days into the postoperative course. Although opioids may be used to treat the pain, comorbid conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea may mandate limiting the dose and the frequency of administration. Adjunctive agents...

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, Volume 8, Issue , January-December 2020. Pulmonary complications are prevalent among patients with hematologic malignancies, who are at high risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although diffuse alveolar damage is considered the diagnostic hallmark of ARDS, there are plenty of other non–diffuse alveolar damage etiologies that can mimic ARDS and benefit from a specific therapy, therefore correcting the underlying...

A big tusk could possibly scare off other males, and show the ladies you're a catch. (Carsten Egevang, Greenland Institute of Natural Resources/)When you’re in the dating game, sometimes you develop a type. Maybe it’s someone tall, or funny, or with a particular hair color. Perhaps you’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for animal lovers, musicians, or dorky types. But humans aren’t the only ones who find certain characteristics attractive. According to a new study in Biology Letters, narwhal ladies...

Apple's new Magic Keyboard brings a trackpad to the iPad Pro. (Apple/)Apple has made it abundantly clear throughout the iPad’s decade of existence that it’s a touch-first device. It can replace a traditional computer in many ways—especially when attached to a keyboard—but you’re meant to poke and swipe at the screen without a mouse. With the release of the new iPad Pro and iPadOS 13.4, the iPad will fully support a mouse and the upcoming keyboard case even includes a touchpad much like the one you’d...

For when a banana just won’t do. (Depositphotos/)Humans have been fantasizing about a full meal in bar form since at least the 1970s, when Veruca Salt ate a piece of chewing gum in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory that simulated a three-course meal (still being beta-tested). Protein bars do not a satisfying meal make, but they are easy to store, portable, and provide a range of nutrients that can replenish your energy until you can get something more substantial. Here are four types of bars...

Asthma is a heterogenous disease including allergic, non-allergic, and other endotypes that complicate the development of tools to identify at-risk children. The Asthma Predictive Index (API) was developed in 20001 and has remained a useful clinical and research tool to identify children at-risk for developing asthma. The API, however, is more specific than sensitive and is dichotomous limiting its utility in gauging children at moderate risk. Subsequent iterations, such as the Modified API (mAPI)2...

Voice change after thyroid surgery is common despite preservation of laryngeal nerves. In this study, we sought to find if the change in voice after total thyroidectomy is related to the weight and volume of the removed thyroid gland.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is a surgical specialty with a rich history that can be traced back to ancient Egypt (2700 BC). Its origins in the UK date to the world wars of the last century, when it evolved from the pioneering work of dental surgeons who began to specialise in treating patients with complex jaw injuries. This background has afforded the field a proud and distinguished identity, and coupled with the requirement for all OMFS surgeons to be dually qualified in dentistry and...

Congenital midline nasal lesions are extremely rare, and nasal dermoids are their most common presentation. To the best of our knowledge, only two cases of a philtrum sinus with skull base extension have been reported previously. A 3-year-old boy presented to the maxillofacial department with a discharging upper lip sinus that had been present from birth. No other congenital abnormalities were reported. Initially this sinus was assumed to be blind-ended and excised under general anaesthetic, but...

Microsurgical procedures for reconstruction after resection of head and neck tumours have become standardised and reliable. Among them, the scapular free flap is used less often, mostly to avoid excessive operating times. We hypothesise that complex reconstructions after resection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are successful even with time-consuming free flaps such as the scapular free flap. In this retrospective, single-centre study, we used the evaluation of medical records to investigate...

As hospitals around the world are getting swamped with patients due to the COVID-19 outbreak, there are issues with having clinical facilities becoming easy havens for the disease to spread. Something that technicians with access to 3D printers can now quickly do is turn standard door handles into the kind that can be opened with one’s arm rather than the hand. Materialise, a company that normally offers advanced 3D printing services for medicine and other fields, has just released...

Researchers at Intel Labs and Cornell University have utilized an unusual “neuromorphic chip” to quickly learn the signature smell of ten different hazardous chemicals and spot their presence quicker than ever before. The Loihi chip, as it is called, mimics how our brains classify and identify unique smells that our noses detect, retaining a memory of a particular chemical after only a single exposure to its smell. Existing technologies that perform similar feats require hundreds or thousands of...

One of the biggest hurdles for America in its fight against the growing COVID-19 pandemic is a massive shortage of tests to diagnose for the virus. To help in the battle, one of the nation’s leading at-home lab testing companies, Everlywell, has developed an in-home test for COVID-19 that also utilizes telehealth consultations with board-certified physicians. According to Everlywell, the tests will cost $135, with the company receiving no profit from sales. Consumers simply collect...

Abstract In the present study, radiation shielding properties of two glassy composite materials that are widely used in electronics, photovoltaic applications, and sensor technology, were investigated in the photon energy range from 15 keV to 15 MeV. The materials chosen were (ITO)/V2O5/B2O3 and ZnO/V2O5/B2O3 including various concentrations of B2O3. Radiation interaction was simulated and shielding parameters calculated by means of the MCNP and BXCOM codes. More specifically,...
