High-flow oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula has been increasingly used in infants with bronchiolitis, despite limited high-quality evidence of its efficacy. The efficacy high-flow settings other than intensive care units (ICUs) is unclear.In this multicenter, randomized, controlled trial, we assigned younger 12 months age who had bronchiolitis and need for supplemental to receive either (high-flow group) or standard (standard-therapy group). Infants the standard-therapy group could...
Bronchiolitis represents the most common cause of non-elective admission to paediatric intensive care units (ICUs).We assessed changes in rate, respiratory support, and outcomes infants <24 months with bronchiolitis admitted ICU between 2002 2014 Australia New Zealand.During study period, was responsible for 9628 (27.6%) 34 829 admissions. The estimated population-based rate due increased by 11.76 per 100 000 each year (95% CI 8.11-15.41). proportion patients requiring intubation decreased...
Importance Nasal high-flow oxygen therapy in infants with bronchiolitis and hypoxia has been shown to reduce the requirement escalate care. The efficacy of children aged 1 4 years acute hypoxemic respiratory failure without is unknown. Objective To determine effect early vs standard failure. Design, Setting, Participants A multicenter, randomized clinical trial was conducted at 14 metropolitan tertiary hospitals Australia New Zealand, including 1567 (randomized between December 18, 2017,...
Objectives: Research in critically ill children poses challenges acquiring prospective informed consent. International ethical guidelines generally have provisions to perform research without prior consent (RWPC) circumstances where is not feasible, but there a paucity of data regarding the community acceptance this process. The objectives current study were explore attitudes and experiences parents enrolled into trials determine understanding acceptability RWPC involved. Design: Qualitative...
Bronchiolitis imposes the largest health care burden on non-elective paediatric hospital admissions worldwide, with up to 15 % of cases requiring admission intensive care. A number previous studies have failed show benefit pharmaceutical treatment in respect length stay, reduction PICU rates or intubation frequency. The early use non-invasive respiratory support devices less scenarios facilitate earlier may an impact outcome by avoiding progression disease process. High Flow Nasal Cannula...
Mary Richmond and Jane Addams are two of the most influential figures in history social work profession. This paper explores influence that these women had on paradigm shift profession from moral certainty to rational inquiry. A review Addams's contributions achievements throws a different light historical development The impact their ideological tensions exist within today is also discussed.

This book expands and updates the nuanced historical perspective used in first edition to understand African American family patterns. The result is a narrative that challenges conventional understanding of continuing plight families. traces evolution black from slavery present, showing cumulative effects centuries change. Beginning with richly researched account impact on families, text points out not only caused extreme instability suffering for but also established lasting pattern poverty...
Background Bronchiolitis is the most common reason for hospital admission in infants. High-flow oxygen therapy has emerged as a new treatment; however, cost-effectiveness of using it first-line unknown. Objective To compare cost providing high-flow compared with rescue after failure standard management bronchiolitis. Methods A within-trial economic evaluation from health service perspective data multicentre randomised controlled trial hypoxic infants (≤12 months) admitted to bronchiolitis...
A challenge of conducting research in critically ill children is that the therapeutic window for intervention may be too short to seek informed consent prior enrolment. In specific circumstances, most international ethical guidelines allow enrolled with obtained later, termed deferred (DC) or retrospective consent. There a paucity data on attitudes parents this method enrolment paediatric emergency research. To explore concept DC and expand knowledge limitations these situations. Children...
The clinical assessment or "clinical judgment" of clients has historically served as a guide for the interventions social work practitioners. Yet, despite critical importance such judgments, very little is known about how certain variables influence judgment process. This study explored nature interaction between practitioner associated with differential judgments and client class race. paper describes specific strategies likely to increase practitioners' effectiveness working-class black...
Aim Nasal high‐flow oxygen therapy is increasingly used in infants for supportive respiratory bronchiolitis. It unclear whether enteral hydration safe children receiving high‐flow. Methods We performed a planned secondary analysis of multi‐centre, randomised controlled trial aged <12 months with bronchiolitis and an requirement. Children were assigned to treatment either or standard‐oxygen optional rescue assessed adverse events based on how hydrated: intravenously (IV), via bolus...
OBJECTIVES Existing bronchiolitis guidelines do not reflect the needs of infants admitted to PICU. This study aimed identify PICU providers’ reported practice variations and explore need for critical clinical guidelines. METHODS Cross-sectional electronic survey available in English, Spanish, Portuguese between November 2020 March 2021, distributed via research networks from North Latin America, Asia, Australia/New Zealand. RESULTS A total 657 providers responded, including 344 204 109...
Aims High‐flow is increasingly used in children with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF), despite limited evidence. The primary feasibility endpoint for this pilot‐study was the proportion of treatment failure, secondary outcomes being intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and patients requiring escalation care. We measured duration hospital stay, oxygen therapy rates ICU admission. Methods An open‐labelled randomised controlled trial design two tertiary children's hospitals emergency...
Aim Uptake of nasal high‐flow therapy in infants with bronchiolitis has grown the last decade some evidence suggesting a reduction escalation care. The effect implementation recent available on clinical practice remains unclear. Methods In prospective observational study over 6 months six metropolitan hospitals Australia, we investigated admitted and an oxygen requirement. To assess choice by clinicians initial (standard or high‐flow) disease severity was measured physiological parameters...
This review highlights and summarizes the current evidence knowledge of nasal high flow therapy management in infants children. outlines distinct differences use NHF between children adults. A comprehensive literature has been performed reviewing relevant physiological studies support measures these Despite quick uptake clinical area there limited high-grade evidence, with new showing beneficial results acute respiratory disease
The social work profession has vascillated between addressing two different priorities during its history: personal troubles and public issues. focus on emphasizes the private interests, rehabilitation, self-actualization needs of individuals. Public issues refers to collective needs, action, reform. These riorities shaped emergence three distinct methods practice-casework, groupwork, community organization. This paper links these cyclical shifts in socio-economic political forces American...

Social science research has often attributed black child development problems especially among poor families to weaknesses in family structure. Adolescent pregnancy and childbearing occur larger numbers disadvantaged youth account for a significant proportion of the growth female-headed households over last 2 decades. parenting is believed cause special both young mother her child. This article reviews studies that evaluate adolescent single mothers compared with who delay childbearing. A...
