Cytomegalovirus (CMV) induced or complicated colitis is important to identify, yet its incidence is unknown among pediatric patients. We aimed to establish the incidence of routine histology-confirmed CMV colitis among pediatric patients with colitis. Pathology reports at Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) between January 1, 2011 and November 6, 2019 were reviewed.

- Potentially preventable adverse events still significantly harm patients and increase healthcare costs, highlighting the need for improved risk-reduction strategies.
- The study aimed to analyze human performance deficiencies (HPDs) in surgical care to find ways to enhance patient safety.
- Data analysis revealed that out of 188 recorded adverse events, over half were associated with HPDs, mainly related to execution, planning, and communication shortcomings.
Seven analogs of the natural, α-helix peptides IsCT1 and IsCT2-found in the venom of scorpion -have been synthesized and tested to compare their antibacterial and hemolytic activity against natural peptides. In general, results show that increasing hydrophobicity by substituting positions 5 and 9 of the sequences with alanine, valine, and leucine, enhances antibacterial activity. However, this also increases hemolytic activity.
