Management of race, ethnicity, and language data in the pediatric emergency department.

In this secondary analysis of a multicenter investigation, we describe several gaps in the collection and management of pediatric race, ethnicity, and language data. These findings highlight the ongoing need for reliable data management processes as a crucial step toward advancing pediatric health equity.

Contaminant Organism Growth in Febrile Infants at Low Risk for Invasive Bacterial Infection.

In this multicenter, cross-sectional, secondary analysis of 4042 low-risk febrile infants, nearly 10% had a contaminated culture obtained during their evaluation (4.9% of blood cultures, 5.0% of urine cultures, and 1.

Wireless Rehabilitation Training Sensor Arrays Made with Hot Screen-Imprinted Conductive Hydrogels with a Low Percolation Threshold.

Herein, we propose a highly sensitive wireless rehabilitation training ball with a piezoresistive sensor array for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The piezoresistive material is a low percolation threshold conductive hydrogel which is formed with polypyrrole (PPy) nanofibers (NFs) as a conductive filler derived from a polydopamine (PDA) template. The proton acid doping effect and molecular template of PDA are essential for endowing PPy NFs with a high aspect ratio, leading to a low percolation threshold (∼0.

Soluble CD14 Subtype in Peripheral Blood is a Biomarker for Early Diagnosis of Sepsis.

Objective: To study the value of serum soluble CD14 subtype (sCD14-ST) in early diagnosis of sepsis.

Methods: Seventy-two patients were diagnosed with systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, or septic shock. Peripheral blood was collected at 0, 12, 24, and 48 hours after admission to the hospital.

A facile synthesis to Zn(2)SiO(4):Mn(2+) phosphor with controllable size and morphology at low temperature.

Sphere- and rod-shaped Zn(2)SiO(4):Mn(2+) phosphor nanocrystals were synthesized at 230 degrees C. The process consists of tuning the surfactant concentration in the oil/surfactant/ethanol system. Powder X-ray (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the phase purity, size and morphology.

[Galanin increases the survival rate of hippocampal cells injured by H2O2 in vitro].

The method of primary hippocampal nerve cell culture was used to study the injury effect of H2O2 and the protective effect of galanin (GAL) and GAL receptor agonists. Result demonstrated that H2O2 has obvious dose relative toxicity to hippocampal cells in vitro. GAL and GAL's nonselective agonist GAL1-11, GalR2's selective agonist GAL2-11 can increase the survival rate of hippocampal cells suffered form H2O2.
