Methods We convened a multi-disciplinary team to audit anesthesia practice and to develop countermeasures for those aspects of practice that were thought to be contributing to CABSI’s. It was noted that provider behavior changed in the presence of an auditor (Hawthorne

effect) and so videorecordings were used, in the hope that this Hawthorne effect would be reduced. Clips were chosen from the hours of video (without audio) recordings that showed medication administration, airway management Selleckchem PR 171 and touching the anesthesia cart of equipment/supplies. Results These clips were viewed by three observers and measurements were made to assess intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. The clips were then viewed to quantify differences in practice before and after our bundle of best practices was introduced. Conclusions Although video recording has HSP990 order been used to evaluate adherence to resuscitation protocols in both trauma and in neonatal resuscitation, (Pediatric Emergency Care, 26, 2010, 803; Pediatrics, 117, 2006, 658; Pediatrics, 106, 2000, 654) we believe this is the first time that video has been used to record before and after behaviors for an anesthesia quality improvement initiative.”
“The second most common epithelial tumor of the ovary is mucinous-type, and it constitutes 8-10% of all ovarian tumors. The recurrence of mucinous

cystadenoma is very rare after complete excision. Only four such cases have been reported till date. The case presented in this report is the fifth, who had her initial surgery performed by gynecologic oncology team by laparotomy and was followed up by the same group. After recurrence at the same ovary, the patient underwent laparoscopic evaluation and unilateral salpingoophorectomy was performed. The final histopathological diagnosis was mucinous cystadenoma, just the same as the initial cyst.”
“Although barium titanate (BaTiO(3)) ferroelectrics at the nanoscale has

been extensively investigated, the physical origin of their unusual performance, in particular, the suppressed thermal stability remains yet unclear despite existing models from various perspectives. Based on the consideration of the short CGP 41251 range bond order-length-strength correlation and the long range dipole-dipole interaction, we have developed a dual-shell model for the size and shape induced suppression of the Curie temperature for BaTiO(3) nanocrystals. One surface shell of three atomic layers represents the short range interaction due to the shorter and stronger bonds between under-coordinated atoms, which intrinsically lowers the mean atomic cohesive energy of the crystal. The other shell with thickness of K(c) (critical number of atomic layers) characterizes the long rang dipole-dipole interaction. If one moves a BaTiO(3) unit cell from the center of the nanocrystal outwards, the unit cell will lose its ferroelectrics gradually upon reaching the K(c) point.
