Latinos are the fastest-growing ethnic minority group in the U.S. We propose a culturally-relevant group well-child care model for Latino families with children under two, implemented in an urban academic center with Medicaid-insured patients. Twenty-five families completed an average of 7.2 group visits of nine recommended well-childchecks.

Importance: Despite their importance to patients, health, and industry, the magnitude of investments in drug research and development (R&D) remain nebulous. New policies require more granular and transparent R&D cost estimates to better balance incentives for innovation and returns to developers.

Objective: To estimate per-drug R&D costs using a novel, reproduceable approach and to describe firm-level R&D costs per discrete unit of R&D activity (1 patient-month).

Intravenous Pump Flow Accuracy: A Systematic Review.

J Infus Nurs

December 2024

Author Affiliations: Elaine Marieb College of Nursing, Elaine Marieb Center for Nursing & Engineering Innovation, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, Massachusetts.

Intravenous pumps (IVPs) deliver IV medications to millions of acute care patients each year and result in many adverse events reported to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although the use of IVPs has improved overall safety, there are still high rates of error that risk the safety of all patients, especially those of advanced age and those suffering from critical illness. Most of the documented errors are based on clinician reports, although there is reason to believe that errors due to flow rate inaccuracy go undetected and unreported.

Metabolomics and proteomics: synergistic tools for understanding snake venom inhibition.

Arch Toxicol

January 2025

Department of Integrative Biology, School of Bioscience and Technology, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore, 632014, Tamil Nadu, India.

Snake envenomation presents a significant global health challenge, especially in rural areas of tropical and subtropical regions. Traditional antivenom therapies face limitations related to efficacy, availability, and specificity, prompting a need for novel approaches. Recent advancements in omics technologies, particularly metabolomics and proteomics, have enhanced our understanding of snake venom composition, toxicity, and potential therapeutic strategies.
