Retrospective evaluation of the respiratory rate-oxygenation index to predict the outcome of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy in dogs (2018-2021): 81 cases.

Objective: To evaluate the respiratory rate-oxygenation index (ROX), modified ROX index (ROX-HR), and the ratio of pulse oximetry saturation (Spo) to Fio (SF) to determine if these indices over time are predictive of outcome in dogs treated with high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC).

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Two university teaching hospitals.

Implementation of a realistic artificial data generator for crash data generation.

In this paper, a framework is outlined to generate realistic artificial data (RAD) as a tool for comparing different models developed for safety analysis. The primary focus of transportation safety analysis is on identifying and quantifying the influence of factors contributing to traffic crash occurrence and its consequences. The current framework of comparing model structures using only observed data has limitations.

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Screen for Bullying in Pediatric Orthopedic Outpatient Clinics.

Unlabelled: Bullying annually affects 20%-25% of middle- and high-school children. Persistent bullying can lead to feelings of isolation, rejection, and despair and trigger depression and anxiety. In addition, pediatric patients have presented to outpatient orthopedic clinics with injuries consistent with physical bullying.

Investigating gender differences in the co-occurrence of PTSD and food addiction.

Objective: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) commonly co-occurs with substance use disorders (SUDs). Past studies suggest PTSD is also associated with food addiction (compulsive intake of highly processed foods containing refined carbohydrates and/or added fat). However, research investigating gender differences has been limited (e.
