Assessing antimicrobial use patterns in Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM) health facilities: A cross-sectional study protocol.
PLoS One
December 2024
Department of Health Programmes, Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM), Lilongwe, Malawi.
The threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Malawi is high with reported mortality of 19,300 annually, the 23rd highest age-standardised mortality. One of the drivers of AMR is misuse of antibiotics, a phenomenon that has not been adequately researched in Malawi. This study aims to investigate antimicrobial use using health facility, prescribing and patient indicators in Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM) health facilities.

Department of Emergency Medicine (RA Salhi, MA Meeker, and ME Samuels-Kalow), Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Mass.
Objective: Rapid vital sign assessment, including temperature measurement, is critical among pediatric patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). While error rates in temporal thermometry are well documented, the potential for differential error rates by demographics is not well established. Our objective was to evaluate error rates of temporal thermometers by demographic variables, specifically race and age, among pediatric patients in the ED.

Dent Traumatol
December 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Copenhagen University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background/aim: Autotransplantation is a well-documented procedure for replacing missing teeth in the anterior maxilla. This retrospective study aims to evaluate long-term survival rate, success rate as well as esthetics and patient-reported outcome of premolars autotransplanted to the anterior maxilla and secondarily to identify potential prognostic factors for survival, success, esthetic, and biological complications.
Material And Methods: One hundred and twenty-two patients with 153 transplants were assessed on survival rate and potential prognostic factors, while 50 patients with 61 autotransplanted premolars underwent clinical, radiographic, and esthetic assessment.
Impact of Fractional Ablative Laser Therapy on Function, Symptoms, and Quality of Life in the Management of Traumatic Scars: A Review.
Lasers Surg Med
November 2024
VA San Diego Healthcare System, San Diego, California, USA.
Objectives: A substantial and expanding body of literature addresses the safety and efficacy of fractional ablative laser therapy for traumatic scarring resulting from burns and other trauma. However, available scar research commonly employs standardized assessment scales that generally do not directly address the impact on function and overall quality of life. Unlike past reviews, this manuscript will explore available evidence with a focus explicitly on function and quality of life (QoL) outcomes and de-emphasize surrogate outcome measures that rely primarily on visual characteristics.

J Rheumatol
December 2024
M. Dubreuil, MD, MSc, Section of Rheumatology, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, and Division of Rheumatology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Objective: Radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) has a 7-year average diagnostic delay. Although the effects of sex or gender on time to diagnosis have been evaluated, the role of social determinants of health remains understudied. We assessed whether time from initial clinical documentation of r-axSpA symptoms to r-axSpA diagnosis (diagnostic delay) varies based on sex, race, ethnicity, and/or the presence of social needs.
