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...

Fingers as a marker of prenatal androgen exposure.

7 Oct 2009 Interest in biological substrates of sex-related variations in psychological and physiological characteristics has led to a search for biomarkers of prenatal hormone exposure that can be measured postnatally. There has been particular interest in ... Read more...

Exposure of treating physician to radiation during prostate brachytherapy using iodine-125 seeds: dose measurements on both hands with thermoluminescence dosimeters.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Only sparse reports have been made about radiation exposure of the treating physician during prostate seed implantation. Therefore, thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) measurements on the index fingers and the backs of both ... Read more...
