Expectant management in patients with prelabor preterm rupture of membranes between between 34
and 36
weeks (late preterm pPROM or LpPROM) has been shown to decrease the burden of prematurity, when compared to immediate delivery. As the severity of prematurity depends on gestational age (GA) at PROM, and PROM to delivery interval, we first investigated how such variables affect neonatal outcomes (NO). Second, we assessed the risk of neonatal sepsis.

retrospective cohort study on neonatal morbidity among singleton infants born to expectantly managed mothers with LpPROM in five hospitals affiliated with three Italian academic institutions. The primary NO was a composite of neonatal death, non-invasive (cPAP) or invasive (mechanical ventilation) respiratory support, hypoglycemia (< 44 mg/dl needing therapy), newborn sepsis, confirmed seizures, stroke, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), basal nuclei anomalies, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, umbilical-cord-blood arterial pH < 7.0 or base excess <eroids until future studies specifically address LpPROM.Four undescribed piperazine-2,5-dione derivatives designated janthinolides C-F, and an α-pyrone-containing polyketide namely trichopyrone C, were isolated from the extract of the fungus Penicillium griseofulvum along with four known products. Among them, janthinolide C represents the first naturally occured piperazine-2,5-dione analogue featuring a cleavaged piperazinedione ring with an oxime group, while the structure of janthinolide D possesses a rare N-methoxy group in natural products. Their structures and absolute stereochemistry were elucidated based on spectroscopic data, theoretical NMR and ECD calculations, Snatzke's method, and modified Mosher's method. All compounds were evaluated for in vitro immunosuppression activity in murine splenocytes stimulated by anti-CD3/anti-CD28 mAbs, of which janthinolides B and C showed potential inhibitory activity with IC50 values at 9.3 and 1.3 μM, respectively.
Previous US-based studies have shown that a trauma center designation of level 1 is associated with improved patient outcomes. However, most studies are cross-sectional, focus on volume-related issues and are direct comparisons between levels. This study investigates the change in patient characteristics when individual trauma centers transition from level 2 to level 1 and whether the patients have similar outcomes during the initial period of the transition.

We performed a retrospective cohort study that analyzed hospital and patient records included in the National Trauma Data Bank from 2007 to 2016. Patient characteristics were compared before and after their hospitals transitioned their trauma level. Mortality; complications including acute kidney injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, cardiac arrest with CPR, deep surgical site infection, deep vein thrombosis, extremity compartment syndrome, surgical site infection, osteomyelitis, pulmonary embolism, and so on; ICU admission; ventilation use; umplications, with fewer patients requiring ICU admission. However, higher mortality and more surgical site infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, unplanned intubations, and unplanned ICU transfers were reported after the transition. These findings may have significant implications in the planning of trauma systems for administrators and healthcare leaders.

Surgical instrument tray reduction attempts to minimize intraoperative inefficiency and processing costs. Previous reduction methods relied on trained observers manually recording instrument use (i.e. human ethnography), and surgeon and/or staff recall, which are imprecise and inherently limited. We aimed to determine the feasibility of radiofrequency identification (RFID)-based intraoperative instrument tracking as an effective means of instrument reduction.

Instrument trays were tagged with unique RFID tags. A RFID reader tracked instruments passing near RFID antennas during 15 breast operations performed by a single surgeon; ethnography was performed concurrently. Instruments without recorded use were eliminated, and 10 additional cases were performed utilizing the reduced tray. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds of instrument use across cases. Cohen's Kappa estimated agreement between RFID and ethnography.

Over 15 cases, 37 unique instruments were used (median 23 instruments/case). A mean 0.64 (median=0, range=0-3) new instruments were added per case; odds of instrument use did not change between cases (OR=1.02, 95%CI 1.00-1.05). Over 15 cases, all instruments marked as used by ethnography were recorded by RFID tracking; 7 RFID-tracked instruments were never recorded by ethnography. Tray size was reduced 40%. None of the 25 eliminated instruments were required in 10 subsequent cases. Cohen's Kappa comparing RFID data and ethnography over all cases was 0.82 (95%CI 0.79-0.86), indicating near perfect agreement between methodologies.

Intraoperative RFID instrument tracking is a feasible, data-driven method for surgical tray reduction. Overall, RFID tracking represents a scalable, systematic, and efficient method of optimizing instrument supply across procedures.

Hepatic angiosarcoma (AS) and hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) are rare primary hepatic vascular malignancies (PHVM) that remain poorly understood. To guide management, we sought to identify factors and trends predicting survival after surgical intervention using a national database.

In a retrospective analysis of the National Cancer Database patients with a diagnosis of PHVM were identified. Clinicopathologic factors were extracted and compared. Overall survival (OS) was estimated and predictors of survival were identified.

Three hundred ninty patients with AS and 216 with HEHE were identified. Only 16% of AS and 36% of HEHE patients underwent surgery. The median OS for patients who underwent surgical intervention was 97 months, with 5-year OS of 30% for AS versus 69% for HEHE patients (P< 0.001). Tumor biology strongly impacted OS, with AS histology (Hazard Ratio [HR] of 3.61 [1.55-8.42]), moderate/poor tumor differentiation (HR=3.86 [1.03-14.46]) and tumor size (HR=1.01 [1.00-1.01])form of positive surgical margins or the presence of metastasis, was also negatively associated with survival. Long-term clinical outcomes remain poor for patients with the above high-risk features, emphasizing the need to develop effective forms of adjuvant systemic therapies for this group of malignancies.
The chief resident service provides surgical trainees in their final year of training the opportunity to maximize responsibility, continuity, and decision-making. Although supervised, chief residents operate according to personal preferences instead of adapting to their attendings' preferences. We hypothesized that outcomes following cholecystectomy are equivalent between the chief resident service and standard academic services.

We matched adults undergoing cholecystectomy from 07/2016-06/2019 on the chief resident service to two standard academic service patients based on operative indication and age. We compared demographics, operative details, and 30-d complications.

This study included 186 patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Body mass index (32.4 versus 32.0, P=0.49) and Charlson comorbidity index (0.9 versus 1.4, P=0.16) were similar between chief resident and standard academic services, respectively. Operative approach was similar (95.2% laparoscopic on chief resident service versus 94.4% on staical decisions and practicing according to their preferences.
In recognition to the rising incidences of child sexual abuse in India, various challenges of existing trauma measures and absence of indigenous efforts at development of comprehensive impact assessment scale, present study was conceptualized.

To develop and establish psychometric properties of Multidimensional Scale for Children with Sexual Abuse.

Outpatient department of government hospitals, non-governmental organizations and child care institutes were primary data setting from which a total of 457 participants were sampled.

The scale development process consisted of identifying impact themes from 59 qualitative research participants and item pooling from available scales; item writing followed by content and face validity analysis from 18 experts; and pilot testing on 30 children. The scale was then applied to 200 children with CSA and 150 children without sexual abuse. The factor structure of the scale was obtained using exploratory factor analysis. Internal consistency, split-half reliability, and validity (convergent, divergent, discriminant) were evaluated. Cut-off scores were obtained using the receiver operating characteristics curve and percentile analysis.

The scale consisted of 62 items across 5 domains. It has high reliability (Cronbach's α 0.93; split-half reliability 0.89), high content, and discriminant validity. Convergent and divergent validity are satisfactory. Scale cut-off score of 31 has high sensitivity.

To our knowledge, this scale is the first such psychometrically robust self-rated scale for young children with sexual abuse in the Asian country. Available in both Hindi and English language, the scale provides a quick measure of trauma across multidimensional functioning.

Recent trials have demonstrated that thromboprophylaxis using direct oral anticoagulants is effective but associated with a higher rate of major bleeding in intermediate-to-high risk (Khorana score≥2) patients with cancer initiating systemic chemotherapy. Patients with gastrointestinal cancer may be at higher risk of major bleeding complications. We sought to assess the efficacy and safety of using thromboprophylaxis with apixaban in this patient population.

This is a post-hoc analysis of the AVERT trial, which was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The primary efficacy outcome was objectively documented venous thromboembolism within 180days of randomization. The primary safety outcome was a major bleeding episode. Time-to-event analyses were performed in patients with gastrointestinal cancers (upper gastrointestinal, pancreatic/hepatobiliary and colorectal cancers).

A total of 130 patients from the original AVERT trial were included, with 65 patients allocated to each of the apixaban and placebo groups.
