Factors That Affect Total Inpatient Drainage Output After TRAM Flap Surgery
Description	Abstract -- Following transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap surgery, physicians generally limit the patients rehabilitation process until total drainage output is low, usually less than 30 cc during a 24-hour period. Therefore, each patient has a different rehabilitation process based on individual drainage output, and there is no standardized physical therapy schedule. Despite this, knowing whether certain variables correlate with drainage output would be beneficial for the timing of rehabilitation. This study examines patient age, body mass index (BMI), and side of reconstruction (right vs. left) for a correlation with total inpatient drainage output. For eighty-five patients who underwent free TRAM flap surgery over a one-year period, patient age, BMI, extent of axillary dissection, side of reconstruction (left, right, or bilateral), and the vessels used in microsurgery were recorded. No correlation was observed for age and drainage output. A positive correlation, however, was observed for BMI and drainage output. The two BMI groups with lower values ( 25 and 25-30) had significantly less drainage output in comparison to the third group (BMI 30). There was also a statistically significant correlation between the side of reconstruction and drainage output. Interestingly, the left side produced more drainage than the right side. Further study of these three variables and others, such as immediate versus delayed reconstruction, is needed to guide the timing of and to maximize patient rehabilitation following TRAM flap surgery.

Jacques Cousteau in Sea Shells
Description	Seeing is a cooperative effort involving your eyes and your brain. Your eyes may perceive a group of dots, but it is your brain that has to decide whether the dots form a pattern that means something. In the exhibit "Jacques Cousteau in Seashells," created for the Exploratorium by artist Ken Knowlton, a framed collection of seashells seems to be a random pattern when viewed up close. At a distance, however, the pattern is seen to be a likeness of well-known oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. Follow instructions closely! The experiments in The Exploratorium Snacks Online were designed with safety and success in mind. But even the simplest activity or the most common materials can be harmful when mishandled or misused. Use common sense whenever you're exploring or experimenting.

Henry VIII - Court Rules
Description	At the age of 18, Henry VIII became King of England in 1509. He was determined to be a great king, and looked up to by everyone. He showed this in lots of ways: in his portraits, in his wars, and in his behaviour towards other people. He also showed it in his control of every detail of his daily life. One measure of greatness was the number of people around you: the more there were, the more important you must be. When Henry stayed at Hampton Court he was attended by nearly 1,000 people. Controlling this number of people was quite a job and in 1526, while he was staying at another of his palaces, at Eltham, a strict and detailed set of rules was drawn up. This resource offers extracts from those rules, and has students examine the tasks of those serving the king.
