To illustrate how a partnership between an academic medical center and a public health department successfully responded to a large tuberculosis (TB) exposure at a community daycare center.
Setting:
A multidisciplinary team rapidly established a dedicated TB Exposure Clinic to evaluate and screen exposed children requiring window prophylaxis.
Patients:
The exposure affected 592 individuals, including 359 children under five—those at highest risk for severe disease.
Interventions:
Given the vulnerability of young children to TB infection, timely evaluation and initiation of window prophylaxis were prioritized.
Results:
Over two days, 162 children were assessed for TB window prophylaxis, and 110 additional children underwent TB screening.
Conclusions:
By leveraging clinical expertise, interdisciplinary collaboration, and informatics infrastructure, the TB Exposure Clinic delivered rapid, comprehensive care while minimizing disruption to local healthcare systems. This model underscores the essential role of academic medical centers in supporting public health responses.
Paediatric ventricular assist device patients, including those with single ventricle anatomy, are increasingly managed outside of the ICU. We used retrospective chart review of our single centre experience to quantify adverse event rates and ICU readmissions for 22 complex paediatric patients on ventricular assist device support (15 two ventricles, 7 single ventricle) after floor transfer. The median age was 1.65 years. The majority utilised the Berlin EXCOR (17, 77.3%). There were 9 ICU readmissions with median length of stay of 2 days. Adverse events were noted in 9 patients (41%), with infection being most common (1.8 events per patient year). There were no deaths. Single ventricle patients had a higher proportion of ICU readmission and adverse events. ICU readmission rates were low, and adverse event rates were comparable to published rates suggesting ventricular assist device patients can be safely managed on the floor.
Post-excavation analysis of individual Ghz-1-002, an adult probable male interred in a medieval cemetery at Ghazali, Sudan, identified tattoos on the right foot. Visualisation under different spectrums of light allowed a reconstruction of the marks, which are only the second instance of tattooing identified from medieval Nubia.
This concise and rigorous textbook introduces students to continuum thermodynamics, combining a complete treatment of the subject with practical applications to material modelling. It presents mathematical prerequisites and the foundations of continuum mechanics, then introduces more advanced topics such as theories for the investigation of material models. Taking the student step-by-step through the subject, it allows full understanding of the theory and how it relates to real-world practical applications. Packed with examples and illustrations to describe complex concepts and mathematical derivations, and including end-of-chapter problems with helpful hints, this is the ideal, accessible introduction to continuum thermodynamics for senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, aeronautical and civil engineering.
Preoperative nasopharyngeal viral screening may reduce clinical uncertainty of upper respiratory infections prior to pediatric cardiac surgery but with unclear benefit. From March 2018 to March 2020, patients aged <3 years were screened for respiratory viruses and had substantial rates of viral detection (40%) but no observed differences in outcomes.
