Glucagon: Its evolving role in the management of hypoglycemia.

More than 10% of the United States population has diabetes, characterized by hyperglycemia. Insulin and other agents used to treat diabetes predispose people to hypoglycemia, which can be life threatening. Glucagon is an emergency medication that can save lives by quickly raising glucose in people who are unconscious or unable to consume glucose due to severe hypoglycemia.

Validation of the Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers in an Italian Clinical Sample of Young Children With Autism and Other Developmental Disorders.

The Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT) is parent-report screening questionnaire for detecting threshold and sub-threshold autistic features in toddlers. The Q-CHAT is a dimensional measure normally distributed in the general population sample and is able to differentiate between a group of children with a diagnosis of autism and unselected toddlers. We aim to investigate the psychometric properties, score distribution, and external validity of the Q-CHAT in an Italian clinical sample of young children with autism versus children with developmental delay and typically developing children.

A cost-minimization analysis of dalbavancin compared to conventional therapy for the outpatient treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections.

Introduction: Acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections (ABSSSI) are common infectious diseases (ID) that often require intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Dalbavancin is a novel lipoglycopeptide antibiotic administered once that is FDA-approved for the treatment of ABSSSI. No literature is available for real-world cost-comparability relative to conventional therapy.
