Article Synopsis
- * Using two methods (long-read analysis with MIRUReader and standard amplification), results showed a high agreement between the two, with only 11 discrepancies out of 3,024 loci analyzed.
- * The research suggests that long-read sequencing can improve the integration of historical TB data with genomic analysis, potentially enhancing tracking of TB transmission patterns.
Article Synopsis
- The study looks at kids with congenital heart disease (CHD) who also developed a serious condition called systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA).
- Researchers found 5 kids with both CHD and sJIA, who all had different heart issues but had surgery when they were babies.
- The kids showed typical signs of sJIA like fever and joint problems after their heart surgery, and some faced severe complications, highlighting the need to watch for sJIA in children with heart conditions.
Background: Pediatric cardiac patients have experienced evolving illnesses progressing to instability while awaiting inpatient admission from ambulatory settings. Admission delays and communication breakdowns increase the risk for tenuous patients. This quality improvement initiative aimed to improve safety and efficiency for patients admitted from an ambulatory Clinic to the Acute Cardiac Care Unit (ACCU) using standardized communication and admission processes within one year.

The objective of this study is to pilot the implementation of the International Consortium of Health Outcomes Measurement CHD standard set in patients undergoing pulmonary valve replacement, a procedure performed in mostly well patients with diverse CHD.
Methods: Patients ≥ 8 years old undergoing catheterization-based pulmonary valve replacement were approached via various approaches for patient-reported outcomes, with a follow-up assessment at 3 months post-procedure.
Background: Gaps in care (GIC) are common for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and can lead to worsening clinical status, unplanned hospitalization, and mortality. Understanding of how social determinants of health (SDOH) contribute to GIC in CHD is incomplete. We hypothesize that SDOH, including Child Opportunity Index (COI), are associated with GIC in patients with significant CHD.
