Purpose: Interventions to improve the safety and efficiency of manual sterile compounding are needed. This study evaluated the impact of a technology-assisted workflow system (TAWS) on sterile compounding safety (checks, traceability, and error detection), and efficiency (task time).
Methods: Observations were conducted in an oncology pharmacy transitioning from a manual to a TAWS process for sterile compounding.
Introduction: Blood cultures are of limited utility in nonsevere community-acquired pneumonia, though routinely recommended for severe community-acquired pneumonia or health care-associated pneumonia due to perceived greater bacteremia risk, particularly with multidrug-resistant organisms. The utility of this practice is unknown.
Methods: In this observational cohort study, we abstracted data from medical records for consecutive hospitalizations for pneumonia by adults to an academic medical center from 2014-2015.
Germline-expressed endogenous small interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) transmit multigenerational epigenetic information to ensure fertility in subsequent generations. In Caenorhabditis elegans, nuclear RNAi ensures robust inheritance of endo-siRNAs and deposition of repressive H3K9me3 marks at target loci. How target silencing is maintained in subsequent generations is poorly understood.

Background: Fungal sensitization in patients with asthma has been associated with severe asthma and worse asthma outcomes.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between fungal and nonfungal sensitization, asthma severity, and clinical outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with asthma evaluated in an urban pulmonary subspecialty clinic in the United States was performed.
