Despite wide usage of the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for self-report pain intensity in clinical practice with children and adolescents, validation data are lacking. We present here three datasets from studies which NRS was used together another scale. Study A compared post-operative ratings on scores Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) 69 age 7-17 years who had undergone a variety surgical procedures. B Visual Analogue (VAS) 29 9-17 pectus excavatum repair. C remembered immunization 236...
The number of fluctuations skin conductance per second (NFSC) has been shown to correlate with induced pain and self-report scales. This study aimed evaluate the validity feasibility NFSC as an objective measurement nociception intensity in school-aged children after surgery.After approval by research ethics board obtaining consent, 100 subjects participated this prospective observational study. Preoperatively, was measured for 60 s at rest during response a scale (numeric rating [NRS],...
Eritoran, a structural analogue of the lipid A portion lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is an antagonist LPS in animal and human endotoxemia models. Previous studies have shown that low doses (350 to 3,500 microg) eritoran demonstrated long pharmacokinetic half-life but short pharmacodynamic half-life. The present study describes safety, pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics, distribution profile during after 72-h intravenous infusion 500, 2,000, or microg/h into healthy volunteers. Except for...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects various lipid and mixed-micelle formulations on oral absorption renal toxicity amphotericin B (AMB) in rats. maximum concentration AMB plasma area under concentration-time curve for 0 24 h were elevated rats administered triglyceride (TG)-rich comparison those given (i) preformulated as a micelle containing sodium deoxycholate with phosphate buffer (DOC-AMB), (ii) an AMB-lipid complex suspension, or (iii) solubilized methanol....
Background: Competency based residency programs depend on high quality feedback from the assessment of entrustable professional activities (EPA). The Quality Assessment for Learning (QuAL) score is a tool developed to rate narrative comments in workplace-based assessments; it has validity evidence scoring provided emergency medicine residents, but unknown whether QuAL reliable other postgraduate programs. Methods: Fifty sets EPA narratives single academic year at our competency medical...
The objective of this study was to determine the critical micelle concentration (CMC) a novel water‐soluble plant sterol derivative (FM‐VP4) using fluorescence depolarization method. CMC determined by 1,6‐diphenyl‐1,3,5‐hexatriene (DPH) depolarization. Test solutions various concentrations sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) as positive control or FM‐VP4 in water were spiked with 2 µL 4 mM DPH tetrahydrofuran (THF) and left overnight equilibrate dark chamber. Fluorescence each solution measured at...

Abstract Problem Narrative assessments are commonly incorporated into competency-based medical education programs. However, efforts to share assessment data among programs support the evaluation and improvement of systems have been limited in part because security concerns. Deidentifying mitigates these concerns, but deidentifying narrative is time-consuming, resource intensive, error prone. The authors developed tested a tool automate deidentification facilitate their review. Approach met...
