Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness of adalimumab, an anti-TNFα agent, for treating childhood noninfectious uveitis (NIU) and aims to establish a therapeutic range for its trough levels.
- The research involved analyzing serum trough levels in 36 children treated with adalimumab, finding that those who fully responded had higher levels (average 11.8 μg/mL) than partial or non-responders (average 9.2 μg/mL).
- The suggested therapeutic range for optimal clinical effects was determined to be between 9.6 to 13 μg/mL, highlighting the importance of therapeutic drug monitoring to enhance treatment outcomes for these pediatric patients.
Purpose: The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is commonly used to measure nonverbal executive functions (EFs) in a variety of clinical populations. However, in some clinical populations (e.g.

Methods: A large, prospective, multicentre, observational study with three polyabsorbent TLC-NOSF dressings (UrgoStart Plus Pad, UrgoStart Plus and UrgoStart Plus Border, Laboratoires Urgo, France) was conducted in Germany between January 2019 and June 2020. Main outcomes included wound healing rate, clinical assessment of wound healing progression, local tolerance and acceptance of dressings, and changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the patients, assessed with the validated Wound-QoL questionnaire.
Purpose: This study aimed to characterize intensive care unit (ICU) physician staffing patterns in a predominantly rural state.
Materials And Methods: A prospective telephone survey of ICU nurse managers in all Iowa hospitals with an ICU was conducted.
Results: Of 122 Iowa hospitals, 64 ICUs in 58 (48%) hospitals were identified, and 46 (72%) responded to the survey.
Introduction: The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) endorses emergency medicine (EM) residency training as the only legitimate pathway to practicing EM, yet the economic reality of Iowa's rural population will continue to require the hiring of non-EM trained physicians. The objective of our study is to better understand the current staffing practices of Iowa emergency departments (EDs). Specifically, we seek to determine the Iowa community size required to support hiring an emergency physician (EP), identify the number of EDs staffed by advanced practice providers (APPs) in solo coverage in EDs, determine the changes in staffing over a 4-year period, and understand the market forces that contribute to staffing decisions.
