Article Synopsis
- The study explores the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two species of black corals, describing specimens collected from the Pacific and Mediterranean Oceans.
- It introduces nine additional black coral mitogenomes, previously unavailable on GenBank, and emphasizes that this is the first comparative analysis of mitogenomes from the same black coral species, setting a baseline for understanding intraspecific genetic variation.
- The research also investigates differences in mitogenomes between five specimens of another species from the NE Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, highlighting interspecific genetic variation.

Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA Northeastern University, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Consensus guidelines recommend vancomycin doses of 15 to 20 mg/kg every 8 to 12 hours in patients with normal renal function.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a pharmacist-directed vancomycin dosing and monitoring pilot program on the percentage of patients receiving targeted weight-based dosing recommendations.
Methods: This was a pre-/postevaluation study, approved by the institutional review board at our institution, comparing retrospectively reviewed vancomycin dosing practices hospital-wide between September 1 and September 30, 2010 to patients prospectively managed by a pharmacist-directed vancomycin pilot program between February 1 and April 26, 2011.

Introduction: The prevalence, risk factors, treatment practices, and outcomes of agitation in patients undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) in the long-term acute care hospital (LTACH) setting are not well understood. We compared agitation risk factors, management strategies, and outcomes between patients who developed agitation and those who did not, in LTACH patients undergoing PMV.
Methods: Patients admitted to an LTACH for PMV over a 1-year period were categorized into agitated and nonagitated groups.
