Carbon dots (CDs), as emerging carbon nanomaterials, have been regarded as promising
alternatives for electroluminescent light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their distinct …

Objective To determine whether robotic ventral hernia repair is associated with fewer days
in the hospital 90 days after surgery compared with laparoscopic repair. Design Pragmatic, …

Carbon dots (CDs), with the unique advantages of low cost, low toxicity, good photostability,
and tunable photoluminescence, have achieved remarkable progress in terms of their …

Methods: Adults with predicted mild gallstone pancreatitis were randomized to cholecystectomy
with cholangiogram within 24 hours of presentation (early group) versus after clinical …

Background Endotheliopathy of trauma is characterized by breakdown of the endothelial
glycocalyx. Elevated biomarkers of endotheliopathy, such as serum syndecan-1 (Synd-1) ≥ 40 …

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in severely injured trauma patients and is
associated with poor outcomes. A positive fluid balance is associated with AKI and poor long-…

Introduction In 2013, we implemented a pill-based, multi-modal pain regimen (MMPR) in
order to decrease in-hospital opioid exposure after injury at our trauma center. We …

Objective: Although previous epidemiological studies have reported substantial links between
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (…

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) after trauma is associated with poor outcomes. According
to current guidelines, a diagnosis of AKI should be made based on an increase in serum …

The significant features of carbon dots (CDs), such as bright and tunable photoluminescence,
high thermal stability, and low toxicity, endow them with tremendous potential for …
