Medication Order Errors at Hospital Admission Among Children With Medical Complexity.

Objectives: We sought to characterize the nature and prevalence of medication order errors (MOEs) occurring at hospital admission for children with medical complexity (CMC), as well as identify the demographic and clinical risk factors for CMC experiencing MOEs.

Methods: Prospective cohort study of 1233 hospitalizations for CMC from November 1, 2015, to October 31, 2016, at 2 children's hospitals. Medication order errors at admission were identified prospectively by nurse practitioners and a pharmacist through direct patient care.

Translocation of Orally Inoculated Following Mild Immunosuppression in Holstein Calves and the Presence of the in Ground Beef Samples.

The objective of this study was to determine if immunosuppression through daily dexamethasone (DEX) infusion altered translocation from the gastrointestinal tract. Weaned Holstein steers ( = 20; body weight [BW] = 102 ± 2.7 kg) received DEX ( = 10; 0.

First Case of 2019 Novel Coronavirus in the United States.

An outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) that began in Wuhan, China, has spread rapidly, with cases now confirmed in multiple countries. We report the first case of 2019-nCoV infection confirmed in the United States and describe the identification, diagnosis, clinical course, and management of the case, including the patient's initial mild symptoms at presentation with progression to pneumonia on day 9 of illness. This case highlights the importance of close coordination between clinicians and public health authorities at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as the need for rapid dissemination of clinical information related to the care of patients with this emerging infection.

Are systolic velocity duplex metrics negatively affected by flow aliasing in areas of critical internal carotid artery stenosis.

: Duplex scanning is a useful noninvasive screening tool for the detection of carotid bifurcation disease. Internal carotid artery (ICA) peak systolic velocity (PSV) and ICA/common carotid artery (CCA) PSV ratios are proven metrics determining 70%-99% ICA stenosis. A potential disadvantage of using dramatically increasing systolic velocity measurements in areas of critical arterial stenosis is flow aliasing.
