Geospatial Clustering of 9-1-1 Responses for Pediatric Firearm Injuries Over Time.

Objectives: We evaluated spatial clustering of pediatric firearm injuries using national 9-1-1 emergency medical services (EMS) responses, locations where these events occurred, and geographic changes over time.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2022 using 9-1-1 EMS responses for children in 50 states from the National EMS Information Systems (NEMSIS). For 37 states with continuous data over the study period, we evaluated spatial changes over time.

Evaluating the penetration efficacy of calcium silicate-based bioceramic sealers into dentinal tubules with cold lateral compaction technique using confocal laser scanning microscopy: An study.

Background: The micromechanical interlocking between dentinal walls and root canal sealer aids in achieving a three-dimensional impermeable hermetic seal. Calcium silicate-based bioceramic sealers are promising, but their comparative effectiveness in sealing dentinal tubules still needs further research.

Objective: This study evaluated the penetration efficacy of four calcium silicate-based bioceramic sealers - CeraSeal (Meta BIOMED Co.

Disparities of Aspirin Administration for Prehospital Chest Pain and ST Elevation Myocardial Infarctions.

Objectives: Although disparities exist in aspirin administration for chest pain and ST elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI), little is known about community-based disparities in aspirin administration for prehospital patients. We evaluated disparities in prehospital aspirin using a national prehospital database.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the 2018-2021 NEMSIS database linked to census data, including adult prehospital encounters.

Next-generation nephrology: part 2-mainstreaming genomics in nephrology, a global perspective.

Kidney genetic services are being created worldwide, revolutionising the way in which we manage families with suspected monogenic kidney disease. There is potential to learn from one another, whether one is just embarking on this journey or within an established kidney genetics service model with aspirations to optimise it further. This concluding portion of our two-part educational review explores the global efforts to integrate genomics into nephrology.

Next-generation nephrology: part 1-an aid for genetic and genomic testing in pediatric nephrology.

Genetic and genomic testing has transformed the practice of clinical nephrology. Yet nephrologists have identified genetic literacy and access to kidney genetic care models as critical barriers to utilising this technology in their practice. To accelerate the implementation of genomic medicine in clinical nephrology, we provide a two-part evidence-based educational review.
