Impact of Caffeine Boluses and Caffeine Discontinuation on Apnea and Hypoxemia in Preterm Infants.

Apnea of prematurity often occurs during and following caffeine therapy. We hypothesized that number of apnea events would be impacted by adjustments in caffeine therapy. An automated algorithm was used in all infants ≤32 weeks gestation admitted to a level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit from 2009 to 2014 to analyze chest impedance, electrocardiogram, and oxygen saturation data around the time of serum caffeine levels, caffeine boluses while on maintenance therapy, and caffeine discontinuation.

The effect of job loss on depressive symptoms: The results from the Korean Welfare Panel Study (2007-2013).

Background: Unemployment is closely associated with depressive symptoms. We conducted analysis to find whether the job loss increased the risk of depressive symptoms according to job status, occupation and tenure.

Methods: Data were collected from Korean Welfare Panel Study (KOWEPS) from 2007 to 2013.
