Introduction: Given the challenges in diagnosing children with long COVID, we sought to explore diagnostic practices and preferences among clinicians.
Methods: A ten-question survey assessed pediatric providers' clinical decision making for identifying and evaluating long COVID in children. Of the 120 survey respondents, 84 (70%) were physicians, 31 (26%) nurse practitioners, and 5 (4%) physician assistants.
Importance: Many recent advances in pediatric concussion care are implemented by specialists; however, children with concussion receive care across varied locations. Thus, it is critical to identify which children have access to the most up-to-date treatment strategies.
Objective: To evaluate differences in the sociodemographic and community characteristics of pediatric patients who sought care for concussion across various points of entry into a regional health care network.
Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 vaccinations, particularly the newly recommended monovalent XBB.1-strain vaccines for all individuals 6 months and older, are vital for protection against severe illness and death from COVID-19, especially as new strains like Omicron JN.1 and KP.2 are spreading in the U.S.! -
- As vaccine effectiveness decreases over time, the ACIP has advised that everyone 6 months and older should receive the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccines, which have been approved or authorized by the FDA, including those from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech for ages 12 and up, and under Emergency Use Authorization for younger children!* -

Background: Obstructed labour, a sequel of prolonged labour, remains a significant contributor to maternal and perinatal deaths in low- and middle-income countries.
Objective: We evaluated the modified World Health Organization (WHO) Labour Care Guide (LCG) in detecting prolonged and or obstructed labour, and other delivery outcomes compared with a traditional partograph at publicly-funded maternity centers of rural Mbarara district and City, Southwestern Uganda.
Methods: Since November 2023, we deployed the LCG for use in monitoring labour by trained healthcare providers across all maternity centers in Mbarara district/City.
Objective: Learning from adverse outcomes in health and social care is critical to advancing a culture of patient safety and reducing the likelihood of future preventable harm to service users. This review aims to present an overview of all clinical claims finalised in one calendar year involving publicly funded health and social care providers in Ireland.
Design: This is a retrospective observational study.
