Revisiting Skill Of Asleep Nasotracheal Intubation
My opinion: With the advent of video-laryngoscopy, numbers of fiberoptic intubation are dwindling and it is ironic that not so long ago, fiberoptic intubation had itself relegated blind nasotracheal intubation as a skill of the past [1-2].

Compression-Ventilation Ratio Of 75:5 Per Minute Can Become 100:10 Per Minute From The Get-Go: Time To Mandate Continuous Quantitative Waveform Capnography During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation As Bag-Valve-Mask Capnography May Allow Continuous Chest Compressions Without Pausing To Visualize Chest Rise
My opinion: When we as anesthesia providers can no longer imagine providing anesthesia and even sedation to our even emergently boarded surgical patients without continuous quantitative waveform capnography, it is ironic that American Heart Association is awaiting more evidence before it can universally mandate its recommendation ..

Gait Analysis in Uner Tan Syndrome Cases with Key Symptoms of Quadrupedal Locomotion, Mental Impairment, and Dysarthric or No Speech
Abstract: Introduction: Uner Tan syndrome (UTS) consists of quadrupedal locomotion (QL), impaired intelligence and dysarthric or no speech. Previously, I described the walk of cases with UTS as diagonal sequence (DS) because of ipsilateral limb interference, mostly observed in nonhuman primates with DS QL. The only gait analysis..
