Twice daily allied health rehabilitation is feasible in acutely hospitalised older people: an observational study.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of twice daily rehabilitation in older patients admitted to an acute care of the elderly (ACE) hospital ward.MethodThis was a prospective single-site, cohort study of twice daily interventions provided by ACE physiotherapists, occupational therapists and/or allied health assistants in an ACE hospital ward. The feasibility of twice daily therapy was evaluated using a range of outcomes including satisfaction, fidelity and limited efficacy.

Expanding Our Knowledge of Molecular Pathogenesis in Histiocytoses: Solitary Soft Tissue Histiocytomas in Children With a Novel CLTC::SYK Fusion.

The histiocytoses comprise a histopathologically and clinically diverse group of disorders bearing recurrent genomic alterations, commonly involving the BRAF gene and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. In the current study, a novel CLTC :: SYK fusion in 3 cases of a histopathologically distinct histiocytic neoplasm arising as solitary soft tissue lesions in children identified by next-generation sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization is described. Morphologically, all 3 neoplasms were composed of sheets of cells with round-oval nuclei and vacuolated eosinophilic cytoplasm but, in contrast to classic juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG), Touton giant cells were absent.

Secretory-IgA binding to intestinal microbiota attenuates inflammatory reactions as the intestinal barrier of preterm infants matures.

Previous work has shown that Secretory-IgA (SIgA) binding to the intestinal microbiota is variable and may regulate host inflammatory bowel responses. Nevertheless, the impact of the SIgA functional binding to the microbiota remains largely unknown in preterm infants whose immature epithelial barriers make them particularly susceptible to inflammation. Here, we investigated SIgA binding to intestinal microbiota isolated from stools of preterm infants <33 weeks gestation with various levels of intestinal permeability.

Examining the Systemic Bioavailability of Cannabidiol and Tetrahydrocannabinol from a Novel Transdermal Delivery System in Healthy Adults: A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Exploratory Study.

Introduction: Transdermal cannabinoids may provide better safety and bioavailability profiles compared with other routes of administration. This single-arm, open-label study investigated a novel topical transdermal delivery system on the pharmacokinetics of cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Methods: Participants were 39.

Marijuana and Breastfeeding: A Pilot Survey of Mothers.

Objective: To describe maternal knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to marijuana use and breastfeeding, and determine their association with knowledge about potential harmful effects of marijauna use while breastfeeding.

Methods: Cross-sectional study design, using a 48-item survey, including previously validated questions, of postpartum mothers at a single urban, academic hospital from 2018 to 2019. Mothers ≥ 18 years with a newborn ≥ 35 weeks' gestation were eligible.
