Multicenter Clinical Performance Evaluation of the NeuMoDx™ CT/NG Assay 2.0.
Sex Transm Dis
December 2024
QIAGEN Ltd, Hathersage Road, Manchester, M13 0BH, UK.
Background: Given the continued increases in rates of both Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infection, additional diagnostic assays may be useful in increasing access to testing for these sexually transmitted infections. We evaluated the performance of the NeuMoDx™ CT/NG Assay 2.0 on the NeuMoDx-96 and NeuMoDx-288 Molecular Systems.

Curr Psychiatry Rep
October 2024
Department of Psychiatry, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Newborns and infants in the NICU are at a high risk for developing delirium, but there's limited research focused specifically on this population.
- Current literature suggests that delirium may occur in these infants at rates similar to or even higher than in other healthcare settings.
- There is a significant lack of validated assessment tools for delirium in the NICU, highlighting the need for more targeted studies to establish effective management practices.
Emergency Department Blood Pressure Treatment and Outcomes in Adults Presenting with Severe Hypertension.
West J Emerg Med
September 2024
Department of Emergency Medicine, Henry Ford Health and Michigan State University Health Sciences, Detroit, Michigan.
Background: Patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with severe hypertension defined as a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥180 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or diastolic (DBP) ≥120 (mm Hg) without evidence of acute end-organ damage are often deemed high risk and treated acutely in the ED. However, there is a dearth of evidence from large studies with long-term follow-up for the assessment of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). We conducted the largest study to date of patients presenting with severe hypertension to identify predictors of MACE and examine whether blood pressure at discharge is associated with heightened risk.

July 2024
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA.
Hypertensive emergencies cause substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly when acute organ injury is present. Careful and effective strategies to reduce blood pressure and diminish the effects of pressure-mediated injury are essential. While the selection of specific antihypertensive medications varies little across different forms of hypertensive emergencies, the intensity of blood pressure reduction to the target pressure differs substantially.

J Asthma
December 2024
Department of Medicine, University of VT, Burlington, USA.
Objective: Older adults with asthma (OAA) have elevated asthma morbidity rates. A six-session intervention based on self-regulation theory was shown to improve outcomes. However, wide-spread implementation was difficult due to the in-person design.

Henry Ford Health and Michigan State University Health Sciences (HFH+MSU Health Sciences), Center for Health Policy and Health Services Research, One Ford Place, Detroit, MI, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Infants with a history of NICU admission are at a greater risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, making it essential to ensure their length of stay (LOS) is based on medical needs rather than social factors.
- Researchers analyzed electronic health records using a regression model to identify factors influencing NICU LOS.
- The study found that while physical factors like birthweight and ventilator use were key predictors of LOS, increased parental visits also correlated with shorter stays, suggesting that supporting family visitation could enhance care and reduce hospital costs.
