Peri-operative use of synthetic intravenous fluid by peri-operative physicians in South Africa
Background Peri-operative physicians increasingly acknowledge that fluid management influences patient outcome. Studies have attempted to understand the changes in practice following recently published evidence, although none have included significant contributions from South Africa. Methods An …

Spatial urban and peri-urban biodiversity patterns
… built cover), the suburban (30-50% b.c.) and the peri-urban zone (< 30% b.c.). Built cover was calculated using Urban Atlas as a baselayer. Sampling sites were randomly selected and equally distributed along the urbanisation gradient. Bird surveys were conducted both in spring and winter in 90 …

Pediatric Obesity and Peri-Operative Adverse Events
Most surgeries and many medical procedures commonly make use of some form of anesthesia to maximize patient comfort and safety. However, all are associated with risks. Obesity and related health care problems are relatively common in anesthesia and also have a negative effect on morbidity and …

Surgical Factors Related to Peri-Implant Diseases
… during implant surgery which may contribute to peri-implant disease. Material and methods This retrospective study was first approved by the University of Pennsylvania IRB (#854482). Data was collected from the electronic health record from a total of 309 patients and 1004 implants placed …

A Study of Mouse Peri-Implantation Morphogenesis
… embryo survival, still the mechanisms driving peri-implantation embryogenesis are poorly understood. During my PhD, I aimed to decipher the morphogenetic events and the mechanisms driving peri-implantation development focussing on each of the three lineages of the blastocyst, the embryonic …

Manufactured landscape : strategies for peri-urbanism in Dongguan
… of cities in the Pearl River Delta of China. The Peri Urban fabric of the these cities are formed as a result of complex orchestration of urban processes. In particular, rural hinterland are increasing being exploited as a vacuum for industrial expansion. The mono-functional spread of industrial …

Endovascular Thrombectomy Peri-Procedural Recall: A Mixed Methods Study
… patient characteristics and recollection of the peri-procedural endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) phase for individuals diagnosed with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. Methods: A convergent mixed methods study was conducted to understand the lived experience of individuals receiving EVT …

The Effect of Treatment on Peri-Implant Disease Progression
… To investigate the effect of treatment on peri-implant disease progression, with particular emphasis on the differential outcomes based on baseline disease severity. Materials and Methods This retrospective analysis examined 323 patients with 1003 implants treated between 2010-2024. …

Peri-urban development in Africa: a Kenyan case study
… of African urban development have used the term “peri-urban" to refer to residential development at a city’s edge. No one, however, has developed a precise definition of peri-urban areas which guides this research. This study attempts to define peri-urban areas using an urban economic model and …

Salivary Profiling Reveals Distinct Immune Activity in Periodontitis and Peri-Implantitis
Periodontitis and peri-implantitis are chronic inflammatory diseases driven by biofilm dysbiosis and characterized by soft tissue inflammation and progressive bone loss. While the two conditions share clinical similarities, peri-implantitis is often associated with more rapid and extensive tissue …

Notchless Interacts with Multiple Signaling Pathways during Mouse Peri-Implantation Development
<p>During peri-implantation, the embryo transitions from a suspension environment in the fallopian tubes to an adherent system within the uterus. Successful transition requires maternal and fetal signaling cascades that establish maternal-fetal boundaries. Failure is common, as ~ 25% of all human …

Peri-substituted dithianaphthalenes as sources of reactive intermediates in organic chemistry
… the application of 1,8 dithianaphthalenes (peri-substituted dithianaphthalenes) as sources of, and as a means of stabilising, reactive intermediates in organic chemistry. Three peri-substituted trisulfide-2-oxides (49, 58 and 103) were prepared by reacting 1,8-naphthalene dithiols with …

Illuminating the Black Box: Defining and Modeling Peri-Implantation Human Embryogenesis
… that most pregnancies fail during the two-week period between fertilization and gastrulation. However, the inaccessibility of human embryos during implantation has limited our understanding of these stages. In this Thesis, I interrogated multiple aspects of human peri-implantation development. …

Assessing customary land administration systems for peri-urban land in Ghana
… pressure on customary tenure, especially in peri-urban areas. This study investigates customary administration in peri-urban Ghana. Using critical realism and multimethodology, peri-urban customary tenure in Accra and Kumasi, the fastest growing cities in Ghana, are assessed. A model for …

Integrating land administration systems in peri-urban customary areas in Ghana
Dual land administration systems operate in many peri-urban customary areas in subSaharan Africa (Burns, 2007), yet the rationality behind them is different, and possibly conflicting (Watson, 2003). The conflicting rationalities between the dual systems have created binaries in land administration …
