Race and socioeconomic determinants of opioid use and disposal following pediatric surgery.

Background: Opioids are a mainstay in treating acute post-surgical pain although there are limited data on post-discharge use.

Objectives: To assess post-operative opioid usage in children undergoing outpatient pediatric surgical procedures and provider variability in the number of doses prescribed by procedure.

Methods: This cohort study included parents of children who were prescribed opioids following outpatient pediatric surgical procedures at Texas Children's Hospital from July 2019 to July 2020.

A Systematic Review of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Background: There is limited characterization of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Along with commonly presenting symptoms of IIH, including headache and papilledema, NPS may have a significant impact on IIH outcomes.

Objective: We completed a systematic review of the literature to characterize the most common non-cognitive NPS in IIH patients and examine associations between non-cognitive NPS and IIH outcomes.

A Systematic Review of Sleep Disturbance in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Purpose Of Review: Sleep disturbances, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), may have a significant impact on the outcomes of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). We conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic literature review to study sleep disturbance in adult patients with IIH.

Recent Findings: The current literature on the relationship between IIH and sleep is quite limited.

Efficacy of Gamified Digital Mental Health Interventions for Pediatric Mental Health Conditions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Importance: Anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affect up to 20% of children and adolescents. Despite demonstrated efficacy, evidence-based treatments for these conditions are often inaccessible; innovative solutions are essential to meet the demand for pediatric mental health care.

Objective: To examine the efficacy and moderators of gamified DMHIs for anxiety, depression, and ADHD in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) for children and adolescents.

PHARMACOKINETIC PROFILES OF ORAL PHENYLBUTAZONE, MELOXICAM, AND FIROCOXIB IN SOUTHERN BLACK RHINOCEROS ().

The pharmacokinetic profile of selected NSAIDs in southern black rhinoceros () were studied. Phenylbutazone (PBZ), meloxicam (MEL), and firocoxib (FIR) were administered orally to five captive, black rhinoceros, and blood was collected at predetermined time points for NSAID quantification and noncompartmental pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis. Phenylbutazone 4.
