Timeliness of Breast Diagnostic Imaging and Biopsy in Practice: 15 Years of Collecting, Comparing, and Defining Quality Breast Cancer Care.

Background: The literature lacks well-established benchmarks for expected time between screening mammogram to diagnostic imaging and then to core needle breast biopsy.

Methods: Timeliness of diagnostic imaging workup was evaluated using aggregate data from 2005 to 2019 submitted to The National Quality Measures for Breast Centers (NQMBC).

Results: A total of 419 breast centers submitted data for 1,805,515 patients on the time from screening mammogram to diagnostic imaging.

Enlisting Parents to Decrease Hospital-Acquired Central Line-Associated Infections in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Hospital-acquired central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are the leading cause of infections in the pediatric intensive care unit. Bacteria responsible for CLABSIs are spread by health care workers, parents, and families and mitigated by scrupulous attention to hand hygiene and safety prevention strategies. Maintenance bundles are grouped elements, such as hand hygiene, standardized dressing and tubing changes, and aseptic technique for entering a central line, effective in preventing CLABSIs.

A Phosphatidylserine Source of Docosahexanoic Acid Improves Neurodevelopment and Survival of Preterm Pigs.

The amount, composition, and sources of nutrition support provided to preterm infants is critical for normal growth and development, and particularly for structural and functional neurodevelopment. Although omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), and particularly docosahexanoic acid (DHA), are considered of particular importance, results from clinical trials with preterm infants have been inconclusive because of ethical limitations and confounding variables. A translational large animal model is needed to understand the structural and functional responses to DHA.
