Good relationships between families and schools make a difference to children's learning - and the same goes for autistic children. But parents of autistic children often find it very stressful interacting with teachers and school staff. In this study, we focused on autistic parents of autistic children.

- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of presumptive antimalarial treatment postpartum in reducing malaria incidence among mothers in Papua New Guinea.
- Participants were randomly assigned to receive either no treatment or artemisinin combination therapy (ACT), with no significant difference between the two types of ACT used.
- Results showed that those who received ACT had a significantly lower risk of developing malaria compared to the untreated group, indicating that administering ACT at delivery can effectively halve the risk of postpartum malaria.
Aims: Hospitalized patients can have inconsistent nutritional intake due to acute illness, changing diet, or unpredictable meal delivery. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether implementation of a hospital-wide policy shifting nutritional insulin administration from pre-meal to post-meal was associated with changes in glycemic control or length of stay (LOS).
Methods: This retrospective study performed at a community hospital evaluated adult inpatients receiving nutritional insulin across three time periods.
Purpose: To investigate the physicochemical compatibility of caffeine citrate and caffeine base injections with 43 secondary intravenous (IV) drugs used in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) settings.
Methods: Caffeine citrate (20 mg/mL or 10 mg/mL) or caffeine base injection (10 mg/mL) were mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1 with the secondary drug solution to simulate Y-site co-administration procedures in NICUs. Physical compatibility was evaluated based on visual observation for 2 h, against a black and white background and under polarised light, for changes in colour, precipitation, haze and evolution of gas.
