Association between goal nutrition and intubation in patients with bronchiolitis on noninvasive ventilation: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Acute bronchiolitis causes many hospitalizations in children younger than 2 years. Early enteral nutrition is associated with improved outcomes in these patients. However, often nutrition is withheld when patients require noninvasive respiratory support because of the risk of aspiration worsening respiratory failure, possibly requiring intubation.

PATIENT PERSPECTIVES ON OBESITY MANAGEMENT: NEED FOR GREATER DISCUSSION OF BMI AND WEIGHT-LOSS OPTIONS BEYOND DIET AND EXERCISE, ESPECIALLY IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES.

To identify perceptions of obesity management in patients with and without diabetes. A 48-question survey was administered in 2018 to our Endocrinology Clinic's adult patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m. Chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests were used to compare variables between groups.

Infected renal hematoma in a healthy adolescent with no renal structural anomaly.

Renal abscesses are uncommon in otherwise healthy children and adolescents who have no underlying renal structural anomalies. A previously healthy, immunocompetent, 14-year-old male without a history of abdominal trauma or urinary tract infection (UTI) was found to have a renal hematoma that became infected and developed into a renal abscess. He presented with a 2-day history of nausea, vomiting, fever and 1-day history of abdominal pain that radiated to the right flank.
