Fluorescence has been observed directly across the band gap of semiconducting carbon nanotubes. We obtained individual nanotubes, each encased in a cylindrical micelle, by ultrasonically agitating an aqueous dispersion raw single-walled nanotubes sodium dodecyl sulfate and then centrifuging to remove tube bundles, ropes, residual catalyst. Aggregation into bundles otherwise quenches fluorescence through interactions with metallic tubes substantially broadens absorption spectra. At pH less...
In acidic solution between pH 6 and 2.5, protons react reversibly selectively in the presence of preadsorbed oxygen at sidewall aqueous dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes suspended sodium dodecyl sulfate. This reactive complex, which protonates nanotube sidewall, diminishes absorption intensity, fluorescent emission, resonant Raman scattering intensity. The results document first evidence electronic selectivity with metallic reacting initially near neutral pH, followed by successive...
In Brief Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness, morbidity, and mortality associated with endoscopic ampullectomy (EA) surgical (SA). Background: proposed management benign ampullary lesions includes local resection (EA or SA) en bloc (pancreaticoduodenectomy). Most agree that entails a significant morbidity mortality. No has previously compared EA SA for treatment lesions. Methods: Medical records patients selected at Duke University Center from 1991 2010...
Physician burnout is common and associated with significant consequences for physicians patients. One mechanism to combat enhance meaning in work.To provide a trainee perspective on how work can be enhanced the clinical learning environment through individual, program, institutional efforts."Back Bedside" resulted from an appreciative inquiry exercise by 37 resident fellow members of ACGME's Council Review Committee Residents (CRCR), which was guided memoir When Breath Becomes Air Paul...
ObjectiveTo develop consensus on diagnostic criteria for LUMBAR syndrome, the association of segmental infantile hemangiomas that affect Lower body with Urogenital anomalies, Ulceration, spinal cord Malformations, Bony defects, Anorectal malformations, Arterial anomalies and/or Renal anomalies.Study designThese were developed by an expert multidisciplinary and multi-institutional team based analysis peer-reviewed data, followed electronic-Delphi a panel 61 international pediatric...
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been performed on polymer-stabilized bundles and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) suspensions of high-pressure carbon monoxide (HiPco)-produced single-walled nanotubes. Real-time Raman spectroscopy used for detection characterization the separation process. Radial-breathing-mode vibrational frequencies are sensitive to nanotube diameter. Monitoring these modes demonstrates poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)-stabilized tubes into fractions differing bundle...
Abstract Background Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been widely adopted for common operations in pediatric surgery; however, its role childhood tumors is limited by concerns about oncologic outcomes. We compared open and MIS approaches neuroblastoma Wilms tumor (WT) using a national database. Methods The National Cancer Data Base from 2010 to 2012 was queried cases of WT children ≤21 years old. Children were classified as receiving or definitive resection, with clinical outcomes...
Background The value of gross total resection (GTR) for children with high‐risk neuroblastoma (NB) is controversial. We hypothesized that patients undergoing GTR would demonstrate improved overall survival (OS) compared those having <GTR. Methods Using a single institutional database, we reviewed the medical records all NB hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as part multimodality therapy from 1990 to 2012. Children had received surgical care at multiple institutions (n = 14)...
Abstract Objectives Hepatic hemangiomas are often found in association with multiple cutaneous infantile hemangiomas. Screening abdominal ultrasonography has been recommended for patients five or more lesions. We sought to determine whether through screening had improved clinical outcomes. Methods Patients entered into our hepatic hemangioma registry between 1995 and 2012 were reviewed. Results Seventy‐two identified; 43 (60%) detected screening. The median age at diagnosis was 41 days...
Mentorship of residents by more senior colleagues has been identified as important for stress management and creating an ideal learning environment.We set out to define the attributes resident mentor explore ways develop these during residency training.A 28-member, multi-specialty counsel fellows used 2 phases a small group exercise. In first phase, developed desirable mentors explored means developing attributes. second trends in results, exercise with participants at major national...
