Management and Outcomes of Salmonella Gastroenteritis in the Era of Rapid Molecular Testing.

Background And Objectives: Molecular diagnostics provide a rapid and sensitive diagnosis of gastroenteritis compared with a stool culture. In this study, we seek to describe the changes in medical management and outcomes of children with Salmonella gastroenteritis as our hospital system adopted molecular diagnostics.

Methods: This study is a retrospective chart review of children <18 years of age diagnosed with nontyphoidal Salmonella gastroenteritis between 2008 and 2018 at a large pediatric health care system in the southeastern United States.

Association of Diastolic Dysfunction with Reduced Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Adults Living with HIV.

Despite the high prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in adults living with HIV, the impact on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is understudied. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between cardiac function and CRF in adults with HIV. Adults receiving antiretroviral therapy with no history of coronary artery disease (CAD) or heart failure were eligible to participate.
