The Effect of July Admission on Inpatient Morbidity, Mortality, and Discharge Disposition After Endovascular Coiling in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Objective: To investigate effect of July admission on short-term outcome after endovascular coiling of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) owing to ruptured aneurysms.

Methods: Data from the National Inpatient Sample (2012-2014) were gathered. Adult patients with SAH who underwent endovascular therapy at a teaching hospital were identified.

Comparison of the Prevalence of Ruptured and Unruptured Cerebral Aneurysms in a Poor Urban Minority Population.

Background: Most ruptured cerebral aneurysms are small (<7 mm). Evidence suggests low rupture rates for such lesions (<1% per year). Population studies demonstrate a prevalence rate of 3.

The Nationwide Burden of Neurological Conditions Requiring Emergency Neurosurgery.

Background: Neurosurgical emergencies are an important cause of disability and mortality.

Objective: To examine the nationwide burden of neurological conditions requiring emergency neurosurgery.

Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database (2002-2011) was queried to identify adult patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of a neurosurgical condition who were admitted urgently/emergently or through a trauma center and underwent surgical intervention within 2 days of admission.

Adolescent adjustment in the context of life change: the supportive role of parental structure provision.

This study examined the associations among disruptive life events, supportive parenting practices, adolescent self-perceptions, and emotional outcomes. One-hundred and three 7th graders (68% minority, 32% European American) and their parents completed recent negative life events checklists. Parents also reported the total number of major transitions (changes in residences, schools, parent's romantic partners) that adolescents experienced since birth.

Neonatal animal testing paradigms and their suitability for testing infant formula.

Due to the ever increasing number of substances added to infant formula, and the fact that the majority of data determining the safety of these substances has been derived from adult animals, a search of the available data was performed to determine if an appropriate neonatal model could be found that could be used for performing toxicological safety studies. This exercise utilized three different forms of media. The first informational source is from a publication from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies.
