Outcomes Following Fecal Diversion for Intractable Hirschsprung Associated Enterocolitis: A Study From the Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Learning Consortium.

Background: Hirschsprung associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is a challenging problem in a subset of children with Hirschsprung disease (HD). In refractory cases, fecal diversion may be required. The aim of this study was to characterize patients who require fecal diversion for HAEC management and examine their long-term outcomes.

Comparative transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus: multicenter collaborative study across pediatric and veterinary cardiology centers.

Introduction/objective: Transcatheter therapeutics have revolutionized treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Greater understanding of corrective interventions across species can advance best practices, protocols, and outcomes while minimizing adverse events. The objective of this study was to describe characteristics and outcomes in children and dogs undergoing transcatheter PDA occlusion.

PM anomaly detection for exceptional event demonstrations: A Texas case study.

The shifting frontiers of air pollution emission sources contribute to stagnation or reversal of air quality gains across the United States (US). The frequency and possible duration of Exceptional Events - driven primarily by wildfires and dust storms - have significantly increased in the US over the past decade. Combined with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule strengthening primary annual National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for PM by 25%, communities will need to reevaluate domestic and international sources of PM.

Intellectual Ability and Sexual Recidivism Risk Assessment: Comparing Predictive Accuracy in an Incarcerated U.S. Sample.

While studies indicate that individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) and borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) are overrepresented among those incarcerated for sexual offenses, there is a paucity of research with respect to risk assessment for this population, particularly among incarcerated U.S. samples.
