Procedural Sedation with Dexmedetomidine for Anterior Mediastinotomy in a High-Risk Patient by Miguel Pratas, Jorge Aires, Nuno Pereira da Silva, Tiago Oliveira, Cristovão Pinto, Jiele Li, Ana Filipa Ribeiro

“…Perioperative management of patients with mediastinal masses still poses a challenge for the anesthesiologist, as the use of general anesthesia can be associated with acute perioperative cardiorespiratory impairment resulting from the mass collapsing on the airway or vascular structures. Dexmedetomidine can be used for procedural sedation due to its reversible sedative and anxiolytic properties with dose-dependent effects, while not interfering with ventilatory drive. …”

Predicting the Viscosity of Petroleum Emulsions Using Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) by Abubakar A. Umar, Ismail M. Saaid, Aliyu A. Sulaimon, Rashidah M. Pilus

“…This is believed to be imminent because of variations in the interfacial film structure. This is followed by the amount of solids, also believed to be as a result of increasing coverage at the interface of the water droplets, limiting the movements of the dispersed droplets (reduced coalescence), thereby increasing the viscosity of the emulsions.…”
