Outcomes for infants with BRUE diagnosed with oropharyngeal dysphagia or gastroesophageal reflux disease: a multicenter study from the Pediatric Health Information System Database.

We aimed to determine the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and oropharyngeal dysphagia as explanatory diagnoses, risk factors for acid suppression treatment, and risk factors for repeat hospital visit in infants hospitalized after brief resolved unexplained event (BRUE) using a multicenter pediatric database. We performed a multicenter retrospective database study of infants admitted with BRUE in the Pediatric Health Information System between 2016 and 2021. Data included diagnostic testing, explanatory diagnoses, treatment with acid suppression, and related repeat hospital visits within 6 months.

Correlation Between Grade of Clinical Response to Neoadjuvant Therapy for Rectal Cancer and Oncologic Outcomes in the Era of Watch-and-Wait.

Background: The watch-and-wait strategy provides an opportunity to pursue non-operative management in rectal cancer patients with clinical complete response after neoadjuvant therapy. The management of those with near complete response remains controversial.

Objective: We assessed the oncologic outcomes of patients managed by watch-and-wait versus total mesorectal excision according to clinical response to neoadjuvant therapy.

Technostress, technosuffering, and relational strain: a multi-method qualitative study of how remote and digital work affects staff in UK general practice.

Background: The introduction of remote and digital forms of working in UK general practice has driven the development of new routines and working styles.

Aim: To explore and theorise how new forms of work have affected general practice staff.

Design And Setting: Multi-site, qualitative case study in UK general practice.

Assessing the Impact of Vaccination Status on Meningitis Risk Post Cochlear Implantation.

Objective: To better understand the protective benefit of pneumococcal vaccines on rates of meningitis after cochlear implantation.

Study Design: Retrospective large database review.

Setting: Several studies have shown that cochlear implantation increases the incidence of bacterial meningitis, mostly due to pneumococcal meningitis.

Surgical resection of a solitary fibrous tumour causing refractory hypoglycaemia: Doege-Potter syndrome.

Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are rare soft tissue masses that are often clinically silent until they cause mass effect. A paraneoplastic syndrome manifesting as persistent hypoglycaemia, termed Doege-Potter syndrome (DPS), can be associated with these lesions. Surgical treatment is recommended for the management of these tumours.
