Objectives: 1) To characterize vitamin D status at initiation of critical care in surgical ICU patients and 2) to determine whether this is associated with the risk prolonged hospital length stay, 90-day readmission, mortality. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: A teaching Boston, MA. Patients: Hundred patients. Interventions: None. Measurements Main Results: Mean (± SD) serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin levels were 17 ± 8 ng/mL 32 19 pg/mL, respectively. calculated...
Abstract Background Malnutrition influences clinical outcomes. Although various screening tools are available to assess nutrition status, their use in the intensive care unit (ICU) has not been rigorously studied. Our goal was compare Nutrition Risk Critically Ill (NUTRIC) Nutritional Screening (NRS) 2002 terms of associations with macronutrient deficit ICU patients. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis investigate relationship between NUTRIC vs NRS and (protein calories) critically...
Objective: Limited data exist regarding the relationship between plasma 25‐hydroxyvitamin D levels and duration of respiratory support. Our goal was to explore whether vitamin status at time intensive care unit (ICU) admission is associated with mechanical ventilation in critically ill surgical patients. Materials Methods : We analyzed from a prospective cohort study involving 210 To ventilation, we performed Poisson regression while controlling for clinically relevant covariates. Only...
The aim of the present study was to test utility verification testing procedure in confirming "true" VO2max older adults completing maximal cycle ergometry. Eighteen physically active men and women (age = 59.7 ± 6.3 yr, ht 173.0 8.8 cm, body mass 83.2 16.4 kg, 27.7 5.0 mL/kg/min) completed incremental exercise, returned 1 h after exercise complete a phase constant load at 105% peak work rate. During gas exchange data heart rate (HR) were continuously monitored. similar (p > 0.05) between...
Routine laboratory surveillance has identified an unprecedented and ongoing exceedance of Cryptosporidium spp. across the United Kingdom, notably driven by C. hominis transmission, since 14 August 2023. Information from 477 reported cases in England Wales, followed up with a standardised exposure questionnaire as 25 September 2023, foreign travel 250 (54%) 463 respondents swimming 234 (66%) 353 cases. A significant, common not yet been first analyses.
Abstract In September 2023, the UK Health Security Agency identified cases of Salmonella Saintpaul distributed across England, Scotland, and Wales, all with very low genetic diversity. Additional were in Portugal following an alert raised by United Kingdom. Ninety-eight a similar sequence identified, 93 Kingdom 5 Portugal, which 46% aged under 10 years. Cases formed phylogenetic cluster maximum distance six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) average less than one SNP between isolates. An...
Abstract Introduction Studies indicate that long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIAs) reduce the risk of relapse and hospitalization compared with oral (APs) in adults. Oral formulations APs are well-studied pediatric population, but little is known regarding off-label use LAIAs this population. Methods This retrospective chart review evaluated readmission rates for patients admitted to a psychiatric ward large academic hospital between January 1, 2015, December 2022, requiring AP...
<h3>Importance</h3> Although early fluid administration has been shown to lower sepsis mortality, positive balance associated with adverse outcomes. Little is known about associations in non–intensive care unit settings, growing concern readmission from excess accumulation patients sepsis. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate whether among non–critically ill was increased risk, including for heart failure. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This multicenter retrospective cohort study...
Abstract Introduction Due to the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, telehealth has shifted from an underutilized service a medical necessity almost overnight. While guidelines are available regarding implementation of telepharmacy services, there is limited practice‐level evidence demonstrating successful adoption for delivery clinical pharmacy services. Objectives The purpose this article provide description how been utilized deliver services within Community Health...

Clinical were grant funded implement a diabetes-focused randomized controlled trial in Federally Qualified Health Center. The objective of this analysis is evaluate if glycemic control depressive symptoms improve for patients with diabetes additional management from compared those receiving the standard care.This post hoc subgroup trial. Pharmacists enrolled type 2 mellitus...
Abstract Introduction There is growing interest in pharmacist‐led chronic disease management (CDM) for underserved populations such as those treated within Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Objectives To assess the impact of adding a pharmacist to healthcare team an FQHC CDM. Methods This non‐randomized, 6‐month prospective pilot study whereby any member could refer patient receive CDM from pharmacist. The primary outcome change control measured by clinical endpoint. Primary...
Abstract Background The Patient‐ And Nutrition‐Derived Outcome Risk Assessment (PANDORA) was recently validated for predicting mortality in hospitalized patients; however, its utility the intensive care unit (ICU) remains unknown. Methods We investigated whether PANDORA is associated with 30, 90, and 180 day critically ill surgical patients by performing logistic regressions, controlling age, sex, race, body mass index, macronutrient deficit, length of stay. area under receiver operating...
