Airway management in paediatric emergencies outside of an intensive care setting: a quality improvement project using Lean/Six Sigma methodology.

Use of a Lean/Six Sigma methodology in a quality improvement project to reduce variation and improve safety in airway management outside of the intensive care environment in a tertiary paediatric hospital.

Long-term efficacy and safety of cannabidiol (CBD) in children with treatment-resistant epilepsy: Results from a state-based expanded access program.

Introduction: An intermediate-sized, multicenter, expanded-access study was opened in 2015 through the support of the State of Georgia. This study provided children with treatment-resistant epilepsy (TRE) access to plant-derived highly purified cannabidiol (CBD; Epidiolex® in the US; Epidyolex® in the EU; 100 mg/mL oral solution). These children had failed to achieve seizure freedom with available treatment options and were ineligible to participate in randomized controlled trials that only included patients with Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndromes.

Successful treatment of pill-swallowing difficulties with head posture practice.

Background: Clinics often encounter neurologically intact patients who are unable to swallow pills. All of the interventions published previously have used traditional behavioural techniques, which are time consuming and often not helpful.

Objective: To determine whether children who had never been able to swallow a whole pill could become successful as a result of an intervention based on head posture.

There are many ways to be rich: effects of three measures of semantic richness on visual word recognition.

Previous studies have reported that semantic richness facilitates visual word recognition (see, e.g., Buchanan, Westbury, & Burgess, 2001; Pexman, Holyk, & Monfils, 2003).
