Article Synopsis
- * The PROGRESS study aims to include diverse populations in pain research to improve representation and outcomes, utilizing three advisory boards that emphasize a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
- * By fostering inclusive engagement and prioritizing diverse perspectives, the PROGRESS study seeks to create more equitable and effective evidence-based solutions for managing chronic pain.
Article Synopsis
- Successful cases of antenatal respiratory failure or cardiogenic shock treated with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) show high survival rates for both mothers and fetuses.
- A study from February 2015 to April 2023 examined seven cases of antepartum ECLS, mainly due to respiratory failure, with all mothers and neonates surviving delivery at around 29 weeks gestation.
- After a follow-up of about 1.4 years, while all neonates survived, some showed speech/language delays, indicating the need for ongoing neurodevelopmental assessments.
Objective: It is currently unknown whether adjunctive azithromycin prophylaxis at the time of non-elective cesarean has differential effects on neonatal outcomes in the context of prematurity. The objective of this study was to compare whether neonatal outcomes differ in term and preterm infants exposed to adjunctive azithromycin prophylaxis before non-elective cesarean delivery.
Study Design: A planned secondary analysis of a multi-center randomized controlled trial that enrolled women with singleton pregnancies ≥24 weeks gestation undergoing non-elective cesarean delivery (during labor or ≥4 h after membrane rupture).
Targeted therapy to the tumor would greatly advance precision medicine. Many drug delivery vehicles have emerged, but liposomes are cited as the most successful to date. Recent efforts to develop liposomal drug delivery systems focus on drug distribution in tissues and ignore liposomal fate.

Study Design: This was a quality improvement initiative targeted to patients presenting to the pediatric emergency department presenting with mild TBI, with baseline data collected from January 2020 to December 2020. From January 2021 to August 2021, we implemented a series of improvement interventions and tracked the percentage of patients undergoing neuroimaging who received rMRI as their initial study.
