Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to implement and evaluate an algorithm for management and prevention of diaper dermatitis (DD) embedded in a scoring tool. The specific aim of the project was to decrease DD occurrences with a severity score of 3 to 4 by 25%.
Participants And Setting: Quality improvement participants comprised 164 neonates; 89 were cared for prior to project implementation and 75 post-implementation.
Predicting extubation failure in neonates: The role of lung ultrasound and corrected gestational age in safe weaning in the NICU.

Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre, Rua Silva Jardim 1155 # 701, Porto Alegre, RS, 90450-071, Brazil.
Unlabelled: To evaluate the accuracy of the lung ultrasound score (LUS) in predicting ventilatory weaning failure during neonatal hospitalization in the NICU and to identify factors associated with weaning failure, including corrected gestational age (CGA). This prospective, longitudinal, pragmatic and observational cohort study included neonates on mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h. The primary outcome was the accuracy of lung ultrasound in predicting 3-day weaning failure, with the ROC curve used to determine the best LUS cutoff (sensitivity and specificity).

Background: Induction of labour (IOL) is a common obstetric intervention in the UK, affecting up to 33% of deliveries. IOL aims to achieve a vaginal delivery prior to spontaneous onset of labour to prevent harm from ongoing pregnancy complications and is known to prevent stillbirths and reduce neonatal intensive care unit admissions. However, IOL doesn't come without risk and overall, 20% of mothers having an induction will still require a caesarean section birth and in primiparous mothers this rate is even higher.

Background: Repeat neurological assessment is standard in cases of severe acute brain injury. However, conventional measures rely on overt behavior. Unfortunately, behavioral responses may be difficult or impossible for some patients.

Department of Vascular Surgery, Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum, Leiden, The Netherlands.
Introduction: Foot ulcers are one of the most serious complications of diabetes, leading to significant risks on amputation and mortality. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an important factor for the development and the outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Although prompt and accurate detection of PAD is critical to reduce complications, its diagnosis can be challenging with currently used bedside tests (such as ankle-brachial index and toe pressure) due to medial arterial calcification.
