Nearly 20% of yeast genes are required for viability, hindering genetic analysis with knockouts.
We created promoter-shutoff strains for over two-thirds of all essential yeast genes and …

Background Aspiration of gastric contents can be a serious perioperative complication,
attributing up to 9% of all anesthesia-related deaths. However, there is currently no practical, …

METHODS: Patients undergoing elective UGE were randomized to ingest one of 6
predetermined volumes of apple juice after an 8-hour fasting period. A cross-sectional area of the …

BACKGROUND: Aspiration pneumonia remains a serious anesthetic-related complication.
A reliable diagnostic tool to assess gastric volume is currently lacking. We recently …

Background Large-scale quantitative analysis of transcriptional co-expression has been
used to dissect regulatory networks and to predict the functions of new genes discovered by …

Predictive analysis using publicly available yeast functional genomics and proteomics data
suggests that many more proteins may be involved in biogenesis of ribonucleoproteins than …

Background Delirium is an acute deterioration of brain function characterized by fluctuating
consciousness and an inability to maintain attention. Use of statins has been shown to …

Background: Gabapentin (GPN) is effective in reducing post‐operative pain and opioid
consumption, but its effects with regional anesthesia for total hip arthroplasty (THA) are not known…

Background The clinical effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on health-related quality
of life (HRQOL) is an area that has not been consistently explored. The objective of this …

Background Despite decreasing cardiac events, perioperative beta-blockade also increases
perioperative stroke and mortality. Major bleeding and/or hypotension are independently …
