Utilization of neonatal medication error prevention strategies: a clinical practice survey of Australian and New Zealand neonatal units.

Background: Medication errors are common in neonatal care and can lead to significant harm. We sought to explore utilization of various medication error prevention strategies across Australian and New Zealand neonatal units (NNUs) through a clinical practice survey.

Methods: An electronic survey was distributed in October 2016 to relevant staff at each of the 29 level III NNUs identified as members of the Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network (ANZNN).

Differential expression of focimatrix and steroidogenic enzymes before size deviation during waves of follicular development in bovine ovarian follicles.

During the growth of bovine follicles, one emerges from a wave as the largest and dominant follicle. What regulates dominance is not known but candidates include oestradiol, transforming growth factor beta beta1 (TGFB1), and recently CYP11AI (cholesterol side-chain cleavage) and focal intra-epithelial matrix (focimatrix). To examine this, pairs of bovine ovaries with 2 or more follicles of equal size (>5mm) and hence in a wave before deviation, were collected at an abattoir (6.
