Propofol and Emergence Agitation in the Pediatric Population: A Systematic Review
No full textEmergence agitation (EA) is common among pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia. Sevoflurane is a volatile anesthetic that is associated with an increased incidence of EA of as high as 80% in children undergoing surgery. Emergence agitation can cause increased stress in the patient, nurses and caregivers. Agitation experienced by the patient can also increase the risk of self harm, delay medical treatments, damage equipment and ultimately increase the length of stay in the hospital. Current studies lack a consistent method of quantifying and recognizing EA in a standardized manner. The development of the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale provided a reliable and accurate tool to assess EA in pediatric patients. Propofol has been used in sub-hypnotic doses to reduce both the incidence and severity of EA. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the current literature to determine if there is an effect on PAED scores of patients that undergo general anesthesia with sevoflurane after receiving an intravenous dose of propofol prior to emergence. This systematic review was created using guidelines put forth by both PRISMA and CONSORT. A literature review was performed and data were collected from each study. A cross study analysis was performed using data collection tables created by the author of this systematic review. Propofol was found to decrease both the incidence and severity of EA in pediatric patients undergoing ophthalmic, inguinal hernia repair, adenostonsillectomies and non-painful procedures such as MRI scans. By incorporating the use of propofol in the anesthetic plan for pediatric patients, anesthesia providers will be able to decrease the incidence the EA and its’ associated adverse outcomes
Indestructible treasures: art and the ekphrastic encounter in selected novels by John Banville
No full textIn the novels of John Banville, the search for authenticity is a well-established preoccupation of what we can refer to (after John Kenny) as the middle period of the author’s work and beyond. Beginning with The Book of Evidence his work is marked by aesthetic shift; primacy is given to visual art, ahead of the scientific motif of the tetralogy that preceded it and significant instances of ekphrasis appear. Ekphrasis is traditionally the domain of poetry and is a natural medium for an author who espouses the novel as a form that must go beyond narrative. Here, three novels are examined, The Book of Evidence, The Untouchable and The Sea. Each novel depends on a dramatic ekphrastic encounter that is the locus of the success and failure of the quest for authenticity that lies at the heart of Banville’s work of this period

Tra razionalismo e irrazionalismo: l’ombra della Massoneria su Conan Doyle e Sherlock Holmes
No full textThis paper deals with the relation between the works of Conan Doyle (especially the Sherlockian Canon) and Freemasonry. In the article the Masonic experience of Conan Doyle is described, as well as the Masonic references in his literary works. Both the life and the work of the Scottish author indicate that in Doyle rational and irrational aspects coexist; if we compare this coexistence with the well-known ‘double soul’ of Freemasonry (due to its Enlightenment heritage and its hermetic and esoteric origins), we can hypothesize that the frequentation of Masonic Lodges should be the key to interpreting this apparent discrepancy in Doyle’s thought
