Secure Messaging Use and Wrong-Patient Ordering Errors Among Inpatient Clinicians.

Importance: Use of secure messaging for clinician-to-clinician communication has increased exponentially over the past decade, but its association with clinician work is poorly understood.

Objective: To investigate the association between secure messaging use and wrong-patient ordering errors.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study included inpatient attending physicians, trainee physicians, and advanced practice practitioners (APPs) from 14 academic and community hospitals.

Does tranexamic acid reduce blood loss for children undergoing reconstruction for neuromuscular hip dysplasia? A matched comparative study.

Treatment for neuromuscular hip dysplasia (NMHD) typically involves osteotomies of the proximal femur and/or pelvis, and the potential for significant volume blood loss is high. Tranexamic acid (TXA) functions as an antifibinolytic and has been shown to reduce bleeding in many operative settings. Retrospective evidence for the use of TXA in children undergoing NMHD reconstruction is inconclusive, and to our knowledge, prospective evaluation has never been performed.

Identification of powdery mildew resistance quantitative trait loci in melon and development of resistant near-isogenic lines through marker-assisted backcrossing.

Background: Melon (Cucumis melo L.), an important cucurbit crop, faces production limitations due to powdery mildew (PM). Developing resistant varieties offers a sustainable, genetics-based alternative to chemical treatments.
