The development of sex-specific traits, including the female-specific ability to bite humans and vector disease, is critical for mosquito reproduction pathogen transmission. Doublesex (Dsx), a terminal transcription factor in sex determination pathway, known regulate gene expression during dengue fever Aedes aegypti. Here, effects developmental siRNA-mediated dsx silencing were assessed adult females. Targeting A. aegypti resulted decreased female wing size, correlate body which typically...
Importance Traumatic injury is a major cause of morbidity for people experiencing homelessness (PEH). However, patterns and subsequent hospitalization among PEH have not been studied on national scale. Objective To evaluate whether differences in mechanisms exist between housed trauma patients North America the lack housing associated with increased adjusted odds hospital admission. Design, Setting, Participants This was retrospective observational cohort study participants 2017 to 2018...
This article describes the use of life cycle analysis to better understand environmental impact a single‐use laryngoscope. can help target waste reduction and find solutions improve sustainability in healthcare.
Background: Tremendous practice variation exists for placing gastrostomy tubes. The objective of this study was to determine if the operative approach is associated with 30-day complication rates. Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort identified pediatric patients who underwent tube placement from June 2019 April 2022. Gastrostomy approaches included laparoscopic, laparoscopic-assisted (incision at site), modified open and percutaneous endoscopic (PEG). Multivariable logistic...
Abstract Background The association of an individual's social determinants health‐related problems with surgical outcomes has not been well‐characterized. objective this study was to determine whether documentation a diagnosis code (Z code) is associated postoperative outcomes. Methods This retrospective cohort included cases from single institution's national quality improvement program (NSQIP) clinical registry October 2015 December 2021. primary predictor interest Z for problems. outcome...
When acquired during pregnancy, Zika virus (ZIKV) infection can cause substantial fetal morbidity, however, little is known about the long-term neurodevelopmental abnormalities of infants with congenital ZIKV exposure without microcephaly at birth. We conducted a cross sectional study to characterize born microcephaly, and retrospective cohort who appeared well birth, but had possible exposure. analyzed data from Dominican Ministry Health's (MoH) National System Epidemiological Surveillance....
Smoking is associated with an increased risk of spontaneous pneumothorax. Typically linked to tobacco smoking and cannabis use, date there have been no reports pneumothorax electronic cigarette use or "vaping." Rates vaping are rapidly rising amongst adolescents. We present two male patients age 15 16 who had a after were initially treated tube thoracostomy placement. Both recurrences requiring surgical intervention recurrence-free since. This the first known report its association A...
Abstract Background Rapid-cycle feedback loops provide timely information and actionable to healthcare organizations accelerate implementation of interventions. We aimed (1) describe a mixed-method approach for generating delivering rapid-cycle (2) explore key lessons learned while implementing an enhanced recovery protocol (ERP) across 18 pediatric surgery centers. Methods All centers are members the Pediatric Surgery Research Collaborative (PedSRC, www.pedsrc.org ), participating in...
This cross-sectional study characterizes the use of International Classification Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) Z codes for social determinants health among surgical vs nonsurgical practitioners at 3 academic hospitals.
Background Surgical correction of pectus excavatum (SCOPE) is dependent upon chest wall pliability with optimal timing prior to complete skeletal maturation. Measures maturity are not readily available for operative planning; therefore, surgeons use age as proxy despite patient-specific rates We aimed determine whether preoperative associated postoperative pain surrogate pliability. Methods Children ≤18 years who underwent SCOPE from 2020 2022 were retrospectively identified. Preoperative CT...
