Evaluating the efficacy and safety of neonatal chyme reinfusion therapy: A feasibility study using a novel medical device.

Objectives: Neonatal and pediatric intestinal failure related to enterostomy is an infrequent but burdensome condition associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. This study presents the development and clinical validation of a novel device to resolve these problems, by formalizing a safe and efficient enterostomy chyme reinfusion technique.

Methods: A novel neonatal chyme reinfusion device was designed and manufactured ('The Insides Neo', The Insides Company, New Zealand), prior to validation in a feasibility study in tertiary neonatal intensive care centres.

Sexual healthcare to meet the needs of sexuality and gender diverse aboriginal young people: imagined possibilities.

In Australia, Aboriginal young people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer or otherwise sexuality and gender diverse (LGBTQ+) are recognised within several overlapping priority populations in state and federal sexually transmissible infection and HIV strategies. However, limited research has documented their unique sexual health experiences, needs and preferences. In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 LGBTQ+ Aboriginal young people aged 16-24 years in New South Wales.

The seasonal distribution of immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is influenced by geography: Epidemiologic findings from a multi-center analysis of 719 disease episodes.

Prior studies have suggested that immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) may display seasonal variation; however, methodologic limitations and sample sizes have diminished the ability to perform a rigorous assessment. This 5-year retrospective study assessed the epidemiology of iTTP and determined whether it displays a seasonal pattern. Patients with both initial and relapsed iTTP (defined as a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type motifs 13 activity <10%) from 24 tertiary centers in Australia, Canada, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and the US were included.
