Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different respiratory viruses affect asthma exacerbations in children aged 4 to 18 who seek treatment in the emergency department (ED).
- Results showed that 86% of children tested positive for viruses, with rhinovirus A leading to milder symptoms and better treatment responses, while enterovirus D68 was linked to more severe cases and poor treatment outcomes.
- The findings suggest that identifying the specific virus early could improve management and outcomes for pediatric asthma exacerbations.
Background: It can be challenging for children to cooperate for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam. General anesthesia is often used to ensure a high-quality image. When determining the need for general anesthesia, many institutions use a simple age cutoff.

This study explored nurse practitioner-led interventions to address health disparities and improve outcomes. This pilot project evaluated 3-month weights of an intervention cohort as compared with a retrospective cohort.
