Objective: To understand Latine immigrants' recent prenatal care experiences and develop community-informed strategies to mitigate policy-related chilling effects on prenatal care utilization.
Background: Decreased health care utilization among immigrants due to punitive immigration policies (ie, the "chilling effect") has been well-documented among Latine birthing people both pre and postnatally.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to differentiate lipodystrophy from other diseases with similar fat loss symptoms, particularly anorexia nervosa.
- Researchers measured leptin and high molecular weight adiponectin serum concentrations in various patient groups, including those with different types of lipodystrophy and anorexia nervosa.
- Results showed that HMW adiponectin levels were significantly lower in patients with lipodystrophy compared to those with anorexia, suggesting it can help in accurately diagnosing these conditions.
Febrile infants aged ≤60 days: evaluation and management in the emergency department.
Pediatr Emerg Med Pract
February 2024
Emergency clinicians frequently provide care to febrile infants aged ≤60 days in the emergency department. In these very young infants, fever may be the only presenting sign of invasive bacterial infection and, if untreated, invasive bacterial infection can lead to severe outcomes. This issue reviews newer risk-stratification tools and the 2021 American Academy of Pediatrics clinical practice guideline to provide recommendations for the evaluation and management of febrile young infants.

- A multicenter study was conducted on 1,200 paediatric patients in emergency departments to identify risk factors for cardiac arrest during intubation.
- Researchers focused on six high-risk criteria, including persistent hypoxemia and hypotension, and found that 27.7% of patients met at least one of these factors.
- The study concluded that patients meeting any high-risk criteria had significantly higher rates of peri-intubation cardiac arrest, need for ECMO, and mortality compared to those who did not meet any criteria.
