Misalignment of disposable pulse oximeter probes results in false saturation readings that influence anesthetic management.

30 Oct 2009 We report a small case series in which misaligned disposable pulse oximeter sensors gave falsely low saturation readings. In each instance, the sensor performed well during preinduction oxygen administration and the early part of the case, most ... Read more...

Efficacy of progressive muscle relaxation training in reducing anxiety in patients with acute schizophrenia.

30 Jul 2009 AIM AND OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy of progressive muscle relaxation training on anxiety in patients with acute schizophrenia. BACKGROUND: Many empirical studies have found progressive muscle relaxation ... Read more...

Independent association of anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein I antibodies with macrovascular disease and mortality in scleroderma patients.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: Systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) is characterized by a unique widespread vascular involvement that can lead to severe digital ischemia, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), or other organ dysfunction. Microthrombotic events and ... Read more...
