Missed Opportunities for Preexposure Prophylaxis Initiation in Hospitalized Persons With Opioid Use Disorder and Infectious Diseases.

Hospitalizations are increasing among persons who use opioids, secondary to overdose and infections. Our study identified acute hospitalization as a reachable moment for engaging people who use drugs in increased screening and education about human immunodeficiency virus risk and prevention (preexposure prophylaxis).

Great expectations: A multisite, randomized controlled open-label trial of a novel patient expectations communication tool.

Objectives: In emergency medicine (EM), discerning patient expectations to inform patient-centered care poses unique challenges. We devised a novel questionnaire to facilitate clinicians' understanding of patients' expectations for their visit.

Methods: We conducted a multisite, randomized controlled trial.

Hematological and Serum Biochemical Reference Intervals for Alphaxalone Sedated Common Marmosets ().

Marmosets are routinely used in biomedical research, therefore there is an increasing need for updated reference intervals calculated using a large sample size, correct statistics, and considering different variables. Hematological and biochemical values from 472 healthy common marmosets sedated with alphaxalone were collected over a ten-year period (2013-2023). The variables assumed to have influenced the blood-based parameters were compared, i.

Economic review of point-of-care EEG.

Point-of-care electroencephalogram (POC-EEG) is an acute care bedside screening tool for the identification of nonconvulsive seizures (NCS) and nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). The objective of this narrative review is to describe the economic themes related to POC-EEG in the United States (US). We examined peer-reviewed, published manuscripts on the economic findings of POC-EEG for bedside use in US hospitals, which included those found through targeted searches on PubMed and Google Scholar.
