Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Obstetricians in Managing Postpartum Surgical Site Infections in India: A Cross-sectional Survey

Brian Benjamin, Krunal Dalal, Ramiya Ravindranath, Puja Nijhara

Introduction: Caesarean section and surgical procedures during vaginal delivery are significant contributors to Surgical Site Infections (SSIs). SSIs are associated with extended hospitalisation and increased financial and clinical burden. Antibiotic prophylaxis, chlorhexidine skin preparation, clipperbased hair removal, and vaginal cleansing with povidoneiodine …

Revitalizing the skin: Exploring the role of barrier repair moisturizers

Nina Madnani, Jyotsna Deo, Krunal Dalal, Brian Benjamin et autres

BACKGROUND: Moisturizers are designed to maintain skin health and treat dermatological conditions associated with impaired skin barrier function. However, differences in their composition account for the differences in their effect. AIMS: This narrative review aims to discuss the role of barrier repair …

Grape Seed Extract and the Fetal Ductus Arteriosus: A Potential Danger of a Common Herbal Supplement

Brian Benjamin, Marcus S. Schamberger, Eric S. Ebenroth

A female at 28 weeks gestation was referred to pediatric cardiology for a fetal arrhythmia. The echocardiogram revealed premature constriction of the fetal ductus arteriosus. Her work up was unremarkable except for her use of an herbal supplement, grape seed extract, which …

Fatty acid oxidation in normotriglyceridemic men

Brian Benjamin, Yasuyo Wada, Scott M. Grundy, Magdalene Szuszkiewicz-Garcia et autres

BACKGROUND: Moderate hypertriglyceridemia is frequently associated with central obesity, insulin resistance, and atherogenic dyslipidemia. We showed previously that moderately obese men with hypertriglyceridemia have reduced fatty acid oxidation postabsorptively and postprandially. In the present study, we examined the oxidation of fatty acids …

Ethnic Differences in Fatty Acid Oxidation

Brian Benjamin

Many reasons for this difference in triglycerides have been explored including increased lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, decreased hepatic lipase (HL) activity, and increased suppression of adipocyte lipolysis.1,8,9 Another possible explanation for this triglyceride discrepancy that has not been explored in depth is …

Multidisciplinary Optimization of Controlled Space Structures With Global Sensitivity Equations

L Padula Sharon, Brian Benjamin, C Graves Philip, E Woodard Stanley

A new method for the preliminary design of controlled space structures is presented. The method coordinates standard finite-element structure analysis, multivariable controls, and nonlinear programming codes and allows simultaneous optimization of the structures and controls systems of a spacecraft. Global sensitivity equations …

Screening For Dyslipidemia

Paul Froom, M. K. Benjamin, Brian Benjamin

We will try to publish authors' responses in the same edition with readers' comments.Time constraints might prevent this in some cases.The problem is compounded in a bimonthly journal where continuity of comment and redress are difficult to achieve.When the redress appears 2 …

Dynamic integrated cost and engineering (DICE) model and its applicability to ATP systems

Douglas V. LaMont, Brian Benjamin

As the system engineering process flows down constellation coverage specifications to the Spacecraft level in terms of agility requirements it's critical that the relationships between manueverability and cost are clearly understood. The probability of optimizing the cost of typical ATP system would …

CSI, optimal control, and accelerometers: Trials and tribulations

Brian Benjamin, John R. Sesak

New results concerning optimal design with accelerometers are presented. These results show that the designer must be concerned with the stability properties of two Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) compensators, one of which does not explicitly appear in the closed-loop system dynamics. The …
