Uterine Rupture Trends in Patients Pursuing Trial of Labor After Cesarean in the United States from 2010 to 2022.

National rates of trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) have increased, but the risk of uterine rupture remains. Clinical practice- and patient-level changes also have occurred in the past decade, and an evaluation of contemporary uterine rupture rates is needed. Using natality files available in the National Vital Statistics System from 2010 to 2022, we conducted a repeated cross-sectional analysis to evaluate U.

Investigation of the Blood Microbiome in Horses With Fever of Unknown Origin.

Background: Fever of unknown origin (FUO) without a respiratory component is a frequent clinical presentation in horses. Multiple pathogens, both tick-borne and enteric, can be involved as etiologic agents. An additional potential mechanism is intestinal barrier dysfunction.

Comparison of cervical versus thoracic spinal cord injury outcomes in pediatric trauma patients.

Purpose: To explore differences based on level of pediatric spinal cord injury (SCI), we compared cervical and thoracic SCI in pediatric trauma patients (PTPs), hypothesizing higher mortality and length of stay (LOS) for cervical SCI.

Methods: The 2017-2021 Trauma Quality Improvement Program was queried for all PTPs ≤ 17 years-old with cervical or thoracic SCI. Bivariate analyses compared the two groups.

Basic is Better? An Assessment of National Outcomes in Prehospital Airway Management in Critical Acuity Pediatric Trauma.

Background: Consensus is lacking regarding prehospital airway management in pediatric trauma patients (PTPs).

Objectives: This retrospective study compared prehospital basic-airway procedures (B-AP) vs. advanced-AP (A-AP) among PTPs, comparing scene time, transport time, and improvement in acuity from scene to emergency department.
