Critical social media literacy-the ability to critically evaluate and interpret racist social media content (critical consumption) and to produce and disseminate antiracist social media content (critical prosumption)-may help counter the negative psychological consequences of online racism, including internalized racism. We examined whether critical social media literacy (critical consumption and prosumption) buffered the association between online racism and internalized racism. We conducted latent moderated structural equation modeling to analyze online convenience data from 338 racially minoritized emerging adults ( = 23.

Methods: A randomized control pre-post experimental design was implemented to 53 participants, with 27 and 26 participants in the experimental and control groups, respectively. A 70-second voice recording of a family member, repeated three times at 10-minute intervals was used as an intervention for the experimental group.
Background: Over the last decade, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use in critically ill children has increased and is associated with favorable outcomes. Our study aims to evaluate the current status of pediatric ECMO in Korea, with a specific focus on its volume and changes in survival rates based on diagnostic indications.
Methods: This multicenter study retrospectively analyzed the indications and outcomes of pediatric ECMO over 10 years in patients at 14 hospitals in Korea from January 2012 to December 2021.
Introduction: The impact of pediatric intensivists on managing pediatric patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pediatric intensivists on outcomes in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
Methods: This was a two-institution retrospective study of patients with DKA admitted to the PICU between 2012 and 2023.
Background: Monitoring mortality trends can help design ways to improve survival, but observation of national mortality trends in critically ill children is lacking for the Korean population.
Methods: We analyzed the incidence and mortality trends of children younger than 18 years admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) from 2012 to 2018 using the Korean National Health Insurance database. Neonates and neonatal ICU admissions were excluded.
Online racism is a digital social determinant to health inequity and an acute and widespread public health problem. To explore the heterogeneity of online racism exposure within and across race, we latent class modelled this construct among Asian ( = 310), Black ( = 306), and Latinx ( = 163) emerging adults in the United States and analysed key demographic and psychosocial health correlates. We observed and classes across all racial groups, whereas classes appeared among Asian and Black people and the classes emerged uniquely in Asian and Latinx people.

We aimed to evaluate nationwide trends of in-hospital CPR incidence and its associated risk factors and mortality in pediatric patients using a database of the Korean National Health Insurance between 2012 and 2018. Methods and Results We excluded neonates and neonatal intensive care unit admissions.

As racism-induced depressive symptoms are linked to coping-related alcohol use and because alcohol-related problems represent a significant public health concern in this population, we investigated whether COVID-19 racism predicted alcohol use severity through depressive symptoms and drinking to cope motives among Asian American emerging adults ( = 139; = 23.04; 50% women, 50% men).

This study evaluated the national effect of the LST decision law on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rate among pediatric patients who died during hospital admission.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was based on the Korean National Health Insurance database.

Objective: We investigated whether gendered racism predicts depressive symptoms and alcohol use severity among Asian American men (AAM) through indirect relations via culture-specific family and external shame.
Method: We analyzed convenience data from 409 AAM. Sample age ( = 21.
Background: The optimal insertion length for right subclavian vein catheterization in infants has not been determined. This study retrospectively compared landmark-based and linear regression model-based estimation of optimal insertion length for right subclavian vein catheterization in pediatric patients of corrected age < 1 year.
Methods: Fifty catheterizations of the right subclavian vein were analyzed.
Sternal cleft is a rare malformation with significant morbidity and mortality. It has been associated with other midline fusion defects, most significantly Cantrell's pentalogy, involving the sternum, pericardium, heart, diaphragm, and abdominal wall. This study reported a successfully managed case of a newborn with a total sternal cleft and Cantrell's pentalogy.

We sought to 1) determine if levels of IH differed between the original study's community-based sample and our non-community-based sample, 2) examine the efficacy of the replicated intervention, and 3) assess for longitudinal effects of the intervention at a 30-day follow-up. Four hundred eighty-four participants completed either the intervention or a stress management control condition.

Methods: We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases for publications up to March 2019, which compared patients with early-stage uLMS who received AC or AR with those who did not. The primary endpoint was recurrence rate.
Background: The outcomes of weaning processes are not well known in pediatric patients, and the International Conference Classification on weaning from mechanical ventilation showed limited application. We evaluate the relationship between the new Weaning according to a New Definition (WIND) classification and outcome in pediatric patients.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (ICU).
