Objective: To assess the association between mode of delivery and 2-year motor function in children with prenatal diagnosis of myelomeningocele.
Methods: A multisite retrospective cohort study of children with myelomeningocele across 14 NAFTNet (North American Fetal Therapy Network) centers born between 2007 and 2020 who had a physical examination available at 2 years of life. Exclusion criteria were in utero myelomeningocele repair, postnatal myelomeningocele diagnosis, missing data on fetal presentation at delivery, and contraindications to labor.

Introduction: Intermittent fasting (IF) has emerged as a potential lifestyle intervention for mitigating cognitive decline and enhancing brain health in individuals with mild to major neurocognitive disorders. Unlike preventive strategies, this review evaluates IF as a therapeutic approach, focusing on its effects on neuroplasticity, inflammation, and cognitive function.
Methods: A narrative review was conducted using a comprehensive PubMed search with the terms "intermittent fasting AND neurocognition" and "intermittent fasting AND neuroplasticity".

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with higher risk of myocardial infarction and anemia. Among patients with anemia and CKD who experience myocardial infarction, it remains uncertain if a liberal red blood cell transfusion threshold strategy (hemoglobin cutoff [Hgb] < 10 g/dL) is superior to a restrictive transfusion threshold (Hgb 7-8 g/dL) strategy.
Methods: Among the 3,504 patients enrolled in the Myocardial Ischemia and Transfusion (MINT) trial with non-missing creatinine, we compared baseline characteristics and 30-day and 6-month outcomes of patients without CKD (N = 1279), CKD with eGFR 30-60 mL/min/1.
Youth living with HIV (YLWH) have high rates of virologic failure due to medication non-adherence. is a novel, gamified mobile health (mHealth) application designed with user-centered principles to improve medication adherence by integrating medication reminders with social and financial incentives, virtual peer social support and early clinic outreach for non-adherent YLWH in Nigeria. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted to identify reactions to key prototype features (user interface, medication reminders, incentives, and peer support), facilitators and barriers to app use, and how well the app would meet adherence needs.

Introduction: Rising pediatric firearm-related fatalities in the United States strain Trauma Centers. Predicting trauma volume could improve resource management and preparedness, particularly if daily forecasts are achievable. The aim of the study is to evaluate various machine learning models' accuracy on monthly, weekly, and daily data.

Background And Aims: Fully covered self-expandable metallic stents (FCSEMS) are often used in the management of post-sphincterotomy bleeding which is refractory to conventional endoscopic treatments. In this meta-analysis, we have evaluated the efficacy and safety of FCSEMS in the management of post-sphincterotomy bleeding.
Methods: We reviewed several databases from inception to November 6, 2024 to identify studies that evaluated the efficacy, and/or safety of FCSEMS in the management of post sphincterotomy bleeding.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease with a significant risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recent clinical evidence indicates the potential benefits of statins in cancer chemoprevention and therapeutics. However, it is still unclear if these drugs can lower the specific risk of HCC among patients with MASLD.

Background: The relationship between the extent and severity of stress-induced ischemia and the extent and severity of anatomic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with obstructive CAD is multifactorial and includes the intensity of stress achieved, type of testing used, presence and extent of prior infarction, collateral blood flow, plaque characteristics, microvascular disease, coronary vasomotor tone, and genetic factors. Among chronic coronary disease participants with site-determined moderate or severe ischemia, we investigated associations between ischemia severity on stress testing and the extent of CAD on coronary computed tomography angiography.
Methods: Clinically indicated stress testing included nuclear imaging, echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, or nonimaging exercise tolerance test.

Introduction: Large language models (LLMs) have grown in popularity in recent months and have demonstrated advanced clinical reasoning ability. Given the need to prioritize the sickest patients requesting emergency medical services (EMS), we attempted to identify if an LLM could accurately triage ambulance requests using real-world data from a major metropolitan area.
Methods: An LLM (ChatGPT 4o Mini, Open AI, San Francisco, CA, USA) with no prior task-specific training was given real ambulance requests from a major metropolitan city in the United States.

We previously reported -hydroxypyridinedione (HPD) compounds with mid-nanomolar efficacy and selectivity indexes around 300 against hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication. However, they lack pharmacological evaluation. Here, we report anti-HBV efficacy, cytotoxicity, and pharmacological characterization of 29 novel HPDs within seven subgroups.

Glioblastomas (GBMs) are dreadful brain tumors with abysmal survival outcomes. GBM extracellular vesicles (EVs) dramatically affect normal brain cells (largely astrocytes) constituting the tumor microenvironment (TME). We asked if EVs from different GBM patient-derived spheroid lines would differentially alter recipient brain cell phenotypes.

Background: Implementation of a successful night curriculum has been a historical barrier to education during night rotations. Residents are tasked with teaching students and peers at night, often with little educational material to support this. To address the need for engaging night curriculum for pediatric residents, we aimed to (1) develop and implement a night curriculum with an emphasis on residents as teachers (RaTs) and (2) explore residents' experience with the RaT curriculum through a secondary qualitative analysis of reflections.

Background: Serial positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is routinely used to monitor treatment response in patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). Corticosteroids remain the mainstay of therapy in CS. However, there are no data available on the cardiovascular outcomes and optimal timing interval to obtain repeat PET while factoring in the influence of corticosteroid taper in relation to surveillance imaging.
