uturist-inspired CGI with lo-fi effects, as the black hole suddenly transforms into a group of masked dancers who stand and unfurl an enormous, dark blanket before him. It’s a haunting image that imparts a hypnotizing song with even more mystery.
5. Fontaines D.C.: “A Hero’s Death”
Twilight Zone-level eeriness meets surly post-punk theatrics in Fontaines D.C.’s latest clip. Game of Thrones’ Aidan Gillen plays a talk-show host whose characteristic cool starts to slip before an episode. He gets weird looks from the gaffers, is upstaged by his puppet co-host Marty, and the musical guests (played by the band) are all deeply unimpressed by him. That’s all before people’s faces start to morph into warped versions of themselves—and his parents. It’s a surreal trip that calls his sanity (and ours) into question, giving the band’s urgent, confrontational punk a potent dose of anxiety.
4. Rosalía: “TKN” [ft. Travis Scott]
In the clip for “TKN,” Rosalía’s latest flamenco-tinged pop single featuring Travis Scott, the two endure a babysitting gig from hell. A feral crew of children run rampant over them, climbing over Rosalía’s shoulders like tree limbs, gleefully racing through empty streets, and feasting on cake with their hands. They’re also fantastic dancers, joining the Spanish star for energetic choreography in empty rooms and surrounding Scott as he raps in the middle of a dark street. Rosalía’s videos are always strikingly artful, and with “TKN,” she delivers us another beautifully strange fantasy.
3. slowthai: “BB (BODYBAG)”
slowthai’s “BB (BODYBAG)” is a pure shot of adrenaline, with rapid-fire threats delivered over a relentlessly rolling beat by Mount Kimbie’s Dom Maker. Its video ups the ante by dropping us into a tense game of Russian roulette in a parking garage, and it never eases up on the dread: The Bajan-British rapper sports a mask made of cigarette butts, raps through the POV of an open mouth like the dentist in Little Shop of Horrors, and plays a knife game with his hand as flames rise behind him. Menace runs deep in slowthai’s feverish rap, and here he amps up the imagery to brutal new highs.
2. Lady Gaga: “Rain on Me” [ft. Ariana Grande]
Look, if Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande want to release an insane video filled with neon latex costumes, CGI wigs, and a bunch of gays in space, then it’s getting real estate on this list. Gaga’s latest single from her new album, Chromatica, is a fizzy house-pop earworm primed for the dancefloor, and its video picks up where the Power Rangers-style storyline in “Stupid Love” left off. This time, Gaga takes us to a futuristic city on a planet doused in colorful rain, where disputes between factions are settled with elaborate dance battles. In lesser hands, the camp Jetsons outfits and rainbow-bright cityscapes could have come across as trite, but in Gaga and Ariana’s, they’re an example of music video excess at its most fabulously deranged, building up to a giddy hug between the two pop stars. What more could you possibly want?
1. Kate NV: “Plans”
Moscow pop experimentalist Kate NV is a collector of unusual inspirations, from ’80s Japanese pop music to ’70s Russian children’s shows. Together they form a tuneful, unconventional vision of pop music, with dreamy lyrics in French, Russian, and English. The video for “Plans,” the upbeat latest single from Kate NV’s forthcoming third album Room for the Moon, is her best yet. In a screwy take on public-access television, she creates “Kate TV,” a station where she’s the lead news anchor (in a suit and severe makeup that channels both Laurie Anderson and Christine and the Queens). The clip takes full, cheeky advantage of its green-screen conceit, with a miniature version of Kate dancing on her own gloved hand, a dance sequence in front of a weather map that catches fire, and a cast of confused reporters who reappear in increasingly ridiculous outfits. The joyously absurdist clip leads up to an ecstatic, confetti-showered climax that perfectly channels Kate NV’s winsome charm.[Importance of an outpatient record in obstetric anesthesia].

A computerised record was used to collect data following an anesthesiological check-up of pregnant women at approximately 30 weeks of pregnancy. The record was input onto a portable PC in the anesthesia outpatient clinic, memorized on disk (3.5") and then transferred onto a PC network (one PC for each operating theatre) for "real time" consultation of each patient's data. All pregnant women attending the antenatal clinico were also given a folder illustrating epidural anesthetic techniques. Seven hundred and nine outpatient visits have been performed over the past two years with a 62% utilisation ratio. The collection of data using a computerised system allows a rapid and efficacious system of communication to be set up among the membranes of the anesthesiological team, thus encouraging the use of epidural techniques during labour. The distribution of the folder also facilitated the task of the anesthetist who found that pregnant women visiting the anesthesia clinic were already familiar with the epidural technique.This piece is not about writing the essay, for that purpose some tips can be found here, which is most appropriate for current seniors considering applying to Penn. However for all students, this prompt can help guide your own thinking as you discover your own academic interests and the topics which inspire you intellectually.
As a high school student, you are taking a range of classes broadly grouped in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics, natural sciences and language study. You also have elective choices which may include a particular genre of literature, arts electives, computer coding, economics, civics, and many others. At this stage of your education, we encourage you to broadly explore a range of subjects and topics through the high school curriculum and your own further research. This time is not about trying to choose a major or a career. That will inevitably follow (and change!) over time. Rather, use your time in high school to explore your academic interests and follow wherever the path may lead you.
As you begin to contemplate particular colleges and universities on your list of potential choices, you should dive into one of the 4 C’s, curriculum, to gain an understanding of how the faculty of those schools prioritize areas of learning as a foundation for your academic exploration and growth. For example, review the curriculum at Penn’s College of Arts and Sciences to understand the purpose and design of Foundational Courses, Sector Requirements, the Major and Free Electives, and how these areas intersect with each other over the four years of study.
As always, keep an open mind as you explore different subject areas through the daily routine of your high school classes. You never know when you will encounter a subject or idea which will make you reflect and think about yourself and the world around you differently.Pulmonary hypertension mortality has been decreasing over the last 2 decades in children and adults, likely secondary to increased awareness, more accurate diagnoses, better risk stratification and early initiation of combination pharmacotherapy.
The lower limit of normal mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) was decreased from 24 mmHg to 20 mmHg.
A subgroup of children with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) are positive responders to acute vasoreactivity testing (AVT) and would be classified as PAH long-term responders to calcium channel blockers (CCB).
PAH and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD)/pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) are now considered a spectrum of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD).
Diagnostic methods and variables and their application to pediatric PH have been updated including echocardiography, cardiac MRI, CT and cardiac catheterization.
New treatment algorithms, including medications for pediatric PH and PAH-CHD as well as drug-drug interactions are available.
Commentary from Dr. Charlotte Van Dorn (Rochester, MN), section editor of Pediatric Cardiology Journal Watch: This is an updated, comprehensive and practical guideline for healthcare providers providing care to children and young adults with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and pulmonary vascular disease (PVD). Methodology included an executive writing group consisting of 22 pediatricians, 7 adult congenital heart disease physicians, 1 adult pulmonologist and 1 thoracic surgeon. Specific features of this guideline include new patient groups such as PH associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD), persistent PH of the newborn period (PPHN) as well as PH associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or chronic lung disease (CLD). The guidelines also include new recommendations for the treatment of acute PH in the intensive care unit (ICU). This is also the first time the challenges of addressing PH in middle to low income regions are addressed. The following class of recommendation (COR) and level of evidence (LOE) grading were used in this guideline.
The most recent classification of PH according to the WSPH (Nice, 2018). The lower limit of normal mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) was decreased to 20 mmHg following a study demonstrating poor survival in adults with mildly elevated mPAP (20-24 mmHg).
The diagnostic algorithm for a child or young adult with suspected
