Introduction: Medication errors during hospital discharge can lead to adverse outcomes, medication-related readmissions, and increased health care costs. Pharmacist-led medication reconciliation at discharge is a potential solution to mitigate poor outcomes and optimize medication safety.
Objectives: This study aimed to quantify medication errors identified at discharge and characterize the severity of patient harm prevented following pharmacist-led discharge medication reconciliation.
Subthreshold Micropulse Laser for Eyes With Center Involving Diabetic Macular Edema With Good Visual Acuity: The PULSE Study, a Randomized Clinical Trial.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina
November 2024
Background And Objective: To determine if sub-threshold micropulse laser (SML) therapy can prevent or delay vision loss in diabetic macular edema (DME) with good visual acuity (VA).
Patients And Methods: Prospective, single-masked, sham-controlled trial in 27 eyes of 19 adult patients with treatment-naïve, center-involved DME, and VA of 20/25 or better. Measures included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), low-luminance visual acuity (LLVA), contrast sensitivity (CS), average threshold on microperimetry, and central subfield thickness (CST).
Aim: Prehospital termination of resuscitation (ToR) rules are used to predict medical futility in adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), however, the available evidence for pediatric patients is limited. The primary aim of this study is to derive a Pediatric Termination of Resuscitation (PToR) prediction rule for use in pediatric non-traumatic OHCA patients.
Methods: We analyzed a retrospective cohort of pediatric OHCA patients within the CARES database over a 10-year period (2013-2022).
Article Synopsis
- Acne vulgaris significantly affects black pediatric patients, often leading to scarring and skin discoloration, which can impact their quality of life.* -
- A study involving 77 patients analyzed various factors including demographics, acne types (primarily comedonal), and treatment methods, with common treatments being adapalene combined with benzoyl peroxide.* -
- The research emphasizes the need for tailored acne treatments for patients with darker skin and suggests that more studies are needed to better understand acne in diverse populations.*
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the Person-Centered Care in Fetal Care Centers (PCC-FCC) Scale by gathering feedback from 247 participants who received care at a U.S. Fetal Care Center between 2017 and 2021, using online questionnaires that included both quantitative and qualitative data.
- - Findings indicated that most participants perceived high levels of person-centered care, especially in care coordination, respect, and education; however, 8% had low scores, and nearly 38% provided negative feedback mainly related to setting expectations, maternal health preparation, and psychosocial support.
- - The results highlighted the need for improvements in certain areas of care and emphasized the importance of studying diverse patient populations in future research to address insurance
Background: Bleeding is a known complication during bronchoscopy, with increased incidence in patients undergoing a more invasive procedure. Phenylephrine is a potent vasoconstrictor that can control airway bleeding when applied topically and has been used as an alternative to epinephrine. The clinical effects of endobronchial phenylephrine on systemic vasoconstriction have not been clearly evaluated.

Animals: 381 dogs with histologically confirmed oral tumors.
Methods: Medical records from 381 dogs with histologically confirmed oral tumors that underwent preoperative screening were retrospectively reviewed.
Objective: Determine diagnostic yield of chest, abdomen, and 4-site screening to diagnose metastatic disease and secondary diseases of prognostic significance in dogs with oral cancer.
Sample: Medical records from 381 dogs with histologically confirmed oral tumors that underwent preoperative screening were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Thoracic metastasis was diagnosed in 4.
