Pharmacist-initiated naloxone discharge prescribing for high-risk hospitalized internal medicine patients.

Pharmacists nationwide may play a critical role in expanding naloxone access after several states enacted legislation to allow pharmacist prescribing of opioid antagonists. This created a unique opportunity for inpatient pharmacists to participate in combating the opioid epidemic by prescribing naloxone at hospital discharge. A multifaceted intervention was developed to identify and educate hospitalized patients eligible for naloxone prescribing.

Hyperspectral imaging in animal coloration research: A user-friendly pipeline for image generation, analysis, and integration with 3D modeling.

Hyperspectral imaging-a technique that combines the high spectral resolution of spectrophotometry with the high spatial resolution of photography-holds great promise for the study of animal coloration. However, applications of hyperspectral imaging to questions about the ecology and evolution of animal color remain relatively rare. The approach can be expensive and unwieldy, and we lack user-friendly pipelines for capturing and analyzing hyperspectral data in the context of animal color.

Earth-Based Transmitters Trigger Precipitation of Inner Radiation Belt Electrons: Unveiling Observations and Modeling Results.

Human activity influence Earth's environment, including the space environment hundreds to thousands of kilometers above the Earth. One direct evidence is that the 19.8 kHz electromagnetic signals launched by the North West Cape (NWC) transmitter station in Australia produce a wisp-like energy distribution of precipitating energetic electrons in Earth's inner radiation belt, observed by many Low Earth Orbiting satellites.

Liver transplantation for critically ill patients with acute on chronic liver failure: a prospective national programme of waitlist prioritisation.

Background: Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) complicates chronic liver disease (CLD) combining rapidly progressive hepatic with extra-hepatic multiple organ failure and high short-term mortality. Effective therapeutic options are very limited, and liver transplantation (LT) seldom utilised through concerns of high recipient mortality and resource use. Retrospective reports suggest recent outcomes may have improved, but use of LT for ACLF has not been prospectively assessed.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery for Pediatric Abdominal Tumor Resections: A Prospective Multi-institution Study.

Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are multi-disciplinary approaches to standardize perioperative care. This is the first prospective, multi-institutional study to evaluate ERAS in pediatric patients undergoing abdominal tumor resections.

Methods: All patients >1-month-old undergoing abdominal tumor resection at one of three children's hospitals between 2020 and 2022 were eligible.
