Background:  Nephrotoxin exposure may worsen kidney injury and impair kidney recovery if continued in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).

Objectives:  This study aimed to determine if tiered implementation of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) would reduce nephrotoxin use in cardiac surgery patients with AKI.

Methods:  We assessed patients admitted to the cardiac surgery intensive care unit at a tertiary care center from January 2020 to December 2021, and August 2022 to September 2023.

Purpose: The etiopathogenesis of coronal nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (cNCS), a congenital condition defined by premature fusion of 1 or both coronal sutures, remains largely unknown.

Methods: We conducted the largest genome-wide association study of cNCS followed by replication, fine mapping, and functional validation of the most significant region using zebrafish animal model.

Results: Genome-wide association study identified 6 independent genome-wide-significant risk alleles, 4 on chromosome 7q21.

Article Synopsis
  • Early warning systems for crop failures need to predict yields 6 to 12 months in advance, but such forecasts are currently limited.
  • Recent advancements in climate forecasting have shown that it is possible to create skillful preseason crop yield forecasts for major crops like maize and wheat.
  • These skillful forecasts can cover significant areas globally, especially in regions like Southeast Africa and Southeast Asia for maize, and parts of Asia, Australia, and South America for wheat, with some forecasts accurate over 18 months prior to harvest.

Background: Outcomes from cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following sudden cardiac arrest are suboptimal. Postresuscitation targeted temperature management has been shown to have benefit in subjects with sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, but there are few data for outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest due to pulseless electrical activity. In addition, intra-CPR cooling is more effective than postresuscitation cooling.
