The impact of implementing a preprinted order form for inpatient management of otherwise healthy children admitted to a tertiary care centre with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis.

Objective: To examine the effect on length of stay (LOS) of a preprinted order (PPO) set for children admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis, as well as on quality improvement measures, medical errors, and resource utilization.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of children admitted to the inpatient units at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) with a discharge diagnosis of bronchiolitis. Primary and secondary outcomes were compared between the pre-PPO (December 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015) and post-PPO (December 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016) periods.

The epidemiology of intermittent and chronic ataxia in children in Manitoba, Canada.

Aim: To determine the epidemiology of chronic ataxia in children in Manitoba, Canada.

Method: A retrospective study using multiple sources and disease codes identified children (age 0-16y) with chronic ataxia (>2mo duration or recurrent episodes of ataxia) seen at Winnipeg Children's Hospital from 1991 to 2008. Patients with isolated peripheral nerve diseases, vestibular disorders, or brain tumors were excluded.

Possible mechanism of the vasodepressor effect of endokinin a/b in anesthetized rats.

We investigated the mechanism of the vasodepressor effect of endokinin A/B. An intravenous (IV) bolus of endokinin A/B (0.05-0.

Analysis of the mechanism of the vasodepressor effect of urocortin in anesthetized rats.

The aim was to examine if the depressor effect of urocortin involves activation of the nitric oxide (NO)/L-arginine pathway, production of prostanoids or opening of K(+)-channels. I. v.
