Does bulking fibre prevent translocation to mesenteric lymph nodes of an efficiently translocating Escherichia coli strain in rats?
The presence of bulking fibre in gut lumen, by unknown mechanisms, reduces the frequency of an inoculated translocating strain of E. coli in caecal contents and on caecal epithelium and prevents its translocation to mesenteric lymph nodes.
Placing cerebral oximeter optodes>3 cm from the superior rim of the orbit will avoid the frontal sinus in>98% of patients. Predicting the frontal sinus height based on common patient variables is difficult. Additional studies are required to evaluate the recommended height in pediatric populations and patients of various ethnic backgrounds. The clinical relevance of avoiding the frontal sinus also needs to be further elucidated.
