ASSESSMENT OF A STANDARDIZED PRE-OPERATIVE TELEPHONE CHECKLIST DESIGNED TO AVOID LATE CANCELLATION OF AMBULATORY SURGERY: THE AMBUPROG MULTICENTER RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL.

OBJECTIVES:To assess the impact of a standardized pre-operative telephone checklist on the rate of late cancellations of ambulatory surgery (AMBUPROG trial).DESIGN:Multicenter, two-arm, parallel-group, open-label randomized controlled trial.SETTING:11 university hospital ambulatory surgery units in Paris, France.PARTICIPANTS:Patients scheduled for

Orchids have been long fascinating biologists and ecologists because of their remarkable range of life history strategies, floral and vegetative morphology, pollination syndromes, and symbiotic fungi.However, the diversity and distribution patterns of orchids remain unclear in several regions, seriously hindering the understanding of orchid diversi

This work presents the modelling of impulsional pH variations in microvolume related to water-based electrolysis and hydrogen peroxide electrochemical oxidation using an Electrochemical Field Effect Transistor (ElecFET) microdevice.This ElecFET device consists of a pH-Chemical FET (pH-ChemFET) with an integrated microelectrode around the dielectric

Aiming at the vibrations of the multistage gear transmission system aroused by the gear meshing excitation, a novel active vibration control structure with built-in piezoelectric actuators (PZT) was established.The active control forces generated by the PZT were transmitted to the shafts through the additional supporting bearings.In addition, an ad
