Background: During transitions between sites of care, clinicians must build trust with colleagues to make decisions that ensure safe, high-quality care.
Objectives: This study explored factors that could influence trust between outpatient clinicians and pediatric hospitalists when children are referred for hospital admission.
Design, Setting, And Participants: We conducted an analysis of 41 semistructured interviews with outpatient clinicians and pediatric hospitalists from May 2020 through October 2021 across three healthcare systems participating in a multisite comparative effectiveness study of pediatric direct and emergency department admissions.
Context: The growing prevalence of pediatric mental and behavioral health disorders, coupled with scarce psychiatric resources, has resulted in a substantial increase in the number of youth waiting in emergency departments (EDs) and medical units for inpatient psychiatric care.
Objective: To characterize the prevalence of pediatric mental health boarding and identify associated patient and hospital factors.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of low levels of bifenthrin, a common household pesticide, on the immune system, focusing on T-cell activation.
- Bifenthrin was found to be non-toxic at certain concentrations but stimulated T-cell aggregation, potentially impacting immune responses.
- These findings raise concerns that exposure to bifenthrin, even within acceptable limits, might increase risks for inflammatory diseases like asthma.
Background: Bifenthrin is a third generation member of the synthetic pyrethroid family of insecticides. As a new pesticide within a relatively new class of pesticides, bifenthrin is considered relatively safe. Here, we used the PC12 neuronal cell line to examine the effect of bifenthrin on the formation of neurites and the potential developmental neurotoxicity of this pesticide.
