CONCLUSIONS: Referral to a community smoking cessation program as preoperative standard of care is feasible and can enhance long-term quit rates, but voluntary participation led to low recruitment to the program....

Assessing the accuracy of algorithm-derived cardiorespiratory fitness in surgical patients: a prospective cohort study.
Hammal F, Quaife T, Purich K, Haennel R, Gragasin FS, Martin-Feeney DS, Finegan BA. Hammal F, et al. Among authors: finegan ba. Can J Anaesth. 2017 Apr;64(4):361-369. doi: 10.1007/s12630-017-0812-5. Epub 2017 Jan 9. Can J Anaesth. 2017. PMID: 28070833 English.
The variables required to compute CRF(A) can be obtained in a clinic setting without the need to engage in formal exercise testing. Further evaluation of CRF(A) as a predictor of long-term outcome in patients is warranted....

Successional dynamics in Neotropical forests are as uncertain as they are predictable.
Norden N, Angarita HA, Bongers F, Martínez-Ramos M, Granzow-de la Cerda I, van Breugel M, Lebrija-Trejos E, Meave JA, Vandermeer J, Williamson GB, Finegan B, Mesquita R, Chazdon RL. Norden N, et al.

Here, we provide the first attempt, to our knowledge, to quantify predictability and uncertainty during succession based on the most extensive long-term datasets ever assembled for Neotropical forests. We develop a novel approach that integrates deterministic and stochasti …

Aims of our study were to determine if management of CAD by medical therapy (MT) alone or with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) influence smoking status at one year following angiography and if a change in smoking status at one ye …

Remote ischemic preconditioning applied during isoflurane inhalation provides no benefit to the myocardium of patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery: lack of synergy or evidence of antagonism in cardioprotection?
Lucchinetti E, Bestmann L, Feng J, Freidank H, Clanachan AS, Finegan BA, Zaugg M. Lucchinetti E, et al. Among authors: finegan ba. Anesthesiology. 2012 Feb;116(2):296-310. doi: 10.1097/ALN.0b013e318242349a. Anesthesiology. 2012. PMID: 22222469 Free article. Clinical Trial.
Secondary endpoints were plasma levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, S100 protein, and short- and long-term clinical outcomes. Gene expression profiles were obtained from atrial tissue using microarrays. ...

Pollen dispersal and genetic structure of the tropical tree Dipteryx panamensis in a fragmented Costa Rican landscape.
Hanson TR, Brunsfeld SJ, Finegan B, Waits LP. Hanson TR, et al. Among authors: finegan b. Mol Ecol. 2008 Apr;17(8):2060-73. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-294X.2008.03726.x. Epub 2008 Mar 25. Mol Ecol. 2008. PMID: 18373529
We conclude that long-distance pollen dispersal helps maintain gene flow for D. panamensis in this fragmented landscape, but pasture and isolated pasture populations are still at risk of long-term genetic erosion....

However, most of our understanding of what secondary tropical rain forests are and how and why they develop is limited to the first decade of a process that may last for centuries. A longer-term view indicates that the causes of change in neotropical secondary successions …
