![]() ![]() Pediatric cardiac surgery patients are exposed to phthalate chemicals from plastic medical products, and the degree of exposure increases in the context of CPB with RBC-based prime. RBC washing was an effective strategy to reduce DEHP levels in CPB prime. Age-matched (<1 year) CPB patients with elevated phthalate exposure were more likely to experience post-operative complications, including arrhythmias, low cardiac output syndrome, and additional post-operative interventions. Phthalate metabolites were detected in all patients, and postoperative phthalate levels were highest in patients undergoing CPB with RBC-based prime. Study subjects were subdivided into three groups, according to surgical procedure: 1) cardiac surgery not requiring CPB support, 2) cardiac surgery requiring CPB with crystalloid prime, and 3) cardiac surgery requiring CPB with red blood cells (RBCs) to prime the circuit. Plasma concentrations of phthalates, post-operative blood gas measurements, and post-operative complications. ![]() ![]() For each patient, a single plasma sample was collected pre-operatively and two additional samples were collected post-operatively upon return from the operating room (post-operative day 0) and the morning after surgery (post-operative day 1).Ĭoncentrations of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and its metabolites were quantified using ultra high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry.

During cardiac surgery, patients can be inadvertently exposed to phthalate chemicals that are released from these plastic products. Phthalate chemicals are used to manufacture disposable plastic medical products, including blood storage bags and components of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits. ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: When you embed the widget in your site, it will match your site's styles (CSS).
![]() ![]() Things certainly are more cramped, and for me it just didn't have the desired effect. It seems the devs were going for a claustrophobic reaction. "The more colorful objects and dialogue we shove into the map, the more fun the map will get!" I cant believe the developers missed the mark so much on why the first game was successful.Īlso, Rileys hair shadow shows she isn't wearing a helmet when diving in arctic water. It feels like some first person shooter without the guns. Moving the story required preparing and launching expeditions.īelow Zero felt like a mod done by overenthusiastic pre teens. The story was done more by showing the world, not telling. Yet, despite everything being cluttered and text dumped, someone who never played Subnautica might spend hours going in circles trying to figure out how to do the most basic of things, like make rubber for a knife, or realizing that its even possible to upgrade your underwater air capacity. The bad kind of jump scare in the cave with Marguerite, that's cheap and insulting, as opposed to making a hostile and unnerving world with dangers. The main character thinking out loud completely mundane and obvious things, as if the developers where afraid the player wouldn't realize he made a flashlight unless the character says out loud "I have made a flashlight". Uninteresting characters with dialogue I could only honestly describe as autistic (I don't mean to offend). Every room in the first base I found had like 2-3 documents in it, 2-3 toys, 1-2 new characters and 5 scanable objects.Īnd its not like the story is that impressive. Remember how in the original game you got maybe 1 document every 5 wrecks and only if you bothered to explore them from top to bottom? Well, not in Below Zero. Then, every 10 minutes there is more text, more documents. Tons of text, documents, sound files are dumped at you immediately when loading a new game, to the point where you can spend 20 minutes reading your PDA before you even move your character. The story is just as overwhelming as the map. Repainted kelp, slightly modified fish from the original game, flat out identical items and human objects. Paradoxically, a lot of this visual clutter is recycled old stuff from the original game. In Below Zero, everything is crammed into a arctic puddle, with every single square inch of land being covered in some plant, formation, or a piece of technology. No break in interesting objects and locations with a bit of space to make the world feel huge. ![]() No infamously beloved thalasophobia from biomes with infinite ocean blue on every side of the compass. There is no room to let the world breathe, no time to let you think where you should go next, because everywhere has something. Every place, every spot is jam packed with things, like a over decorated Christmas tree. The phrase "professional self restraint" comes to mind. ![]() The weather effects are so over the top I struggled to see where I was going (in a bad, not survival game way). I don't know what this is, but its not fun.Įverything is too cramped, both below the water but especially above. 1 hour after starting Below Zero I simply quit. I was so excited for another Subnautica game. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, if you’re still training your dog to get used to grooming, a muzzle may helpful, especially when the dog is not familiar with the groomer. ![]() When properly desensitized with handling exercises (it helps to start in puppyhood), most dogs will tolerate or even enjoy grooming procedures like bathing or nail trimming.

There is a history of biting, or a risk of biting Using a muzzle will keep you and anyone assisting you safe from your dog’s uncharacteristic but understandable behavior. Particularly if you need to move or treat the dog in some way. During an emergencyĪs mentioned before, an injured or frightened dog is much more likely to bite. Here are some situations that make the use of a dog muzzle safe and appropriate. When Is it Appropriate to Use a Dog Muzzle? Every dog should learn to love wearing a muzzle so if the day comes when they need to wear one, you and your dog won’t be stressed even further. You also need to teach and train your dog how to tolerate and accept wearing a muzzle. Therefore, even if you never have to rely on a dog muzzle, it’s a good idea to understand why, when, and how you should use a muzzle on your dog. And there’s no way to predict when such a situation might arise. While in severe pain, dogs can bite when you try to transport them or treat their wounds. It might be for the safety of the dog, the safety of a person, or both.įor example, if your dog is seriously injured, the risk of a dog bite jumps significantly. But most canine experts agree that at one point or another in every dog’s lifetime, there may be a situation when an owner needs to use a muzzle. After all, they have an unfair association with “aggressive” dogs or “attack” dogs. Why Are Dog Muzzles So Polarizing?ĭog muzzles can look controversial.
