Objectives: To describe common pulmonary vasodilators (PV), exposure timing, and characteristics associated to their use in very preterm (VP) infants.
Study Design: Observational study of VP infants discharged from U.S.
Background And Objectives: Many neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) do not give rotavirus vaccines to inpatients due to a theoretical risk of horizontal transmission of vaccine strains. We aimed to determine incidence and clinical significance of vaccine-strain transmission to unvaccinated infants in a NICU that routinely administers pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5).
Methods: This prospective cohort study included all patients admitted to a 100-bed NICU for 1 year.
Article Synopsis
- There is growing interest in same-day discharge (SDD) after metabolic and bariatric surgery for older adults (65+), but their safety remains uncertain, leading to their common exclusion from these protocols.* -
- A study analyzed 63,486 patients aged 65 and older, showing that while SDD rates increased from 1.15% to 4.33% between 2015-2022, most were still discharged on the first postoperative day (POD1).* -
- Results indicated that those who had SDD had fewer obesity-related health issues and were not at greater risk for complications or hospital readmissions compared to those discharged on POD1, highlighting the importance of careful patient selection for SDD
Background: Use of online crowdfunding to mitigate health-related cost burden is common in the US, but its usage among candidates for metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is unknown. We aimed to identify GoFundMe campaigns fundraising for MBS and characterize sources of financial strain. We also aimed to determine factors associated with successful crowdfunding.

Combining data from multiple trials provides greater confidence around efficacy under varying production conditions. Therefore, this study combined data from three separate trials analyzing the effect of a dual-strain probiotic comprising Lactobacillus acidophilus AG01 and Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactis AG02 on broilers during a mild necrotic enteritis (NE) challenge.
