Article Synopsis
  • The study hypothesizes that using a Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) is more effective than Endotracheal Tube (ETT) for infants between 28-36 weeks gestation in terms of time and stability during placement.
  • Results showed that LMA placement took significantly less time (32 seconds vs 66 seconds) and fewer attempts (1.5 vs 1.9) compared to ETT, maintaining physiological stability in both methods.
  • The conclusion supports LMA as a better alternative for surfactant delivery in neonates, requiring less intervention and maintaining patient comfort.

Purpose: Data on long-term cardiovascular effects of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are limited and conflicting. We sought to evaluate the effect of AIs on peripheral endothelial function in patients with breast cancer.

Patients And Methods: This is an observational, prospective study of postmenopausal women with breast cancer who were enrolled at the initiation of cancer treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the feasibility of using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in neonates by assessing the time and attempts needed for successful placement as well as the infants' physiological stability during the procedure.
  • Analyzed data from 36 infants showed that 64% of LMA placements were completed in under 35 seconds, with a 69% first-attempt success rate.
  • Overall, the procedure maintained stable heart rates and oxygen saturation levels, demonstrating that LMA placement is a viable and efficient option in neonatal care.

The number of children with an incarcerated parent has increased nearly 80% in the past 20 years. Despite the growing need, few educational resources exist to promote the emotional health of young children with incarcerated parents. To address this need, Sesame Street recently released developmentally appropriate, multimedia resources, and piloted the dissemination of those resources in 10 states.
