The Ability of Serum Amyloid A to Discriminate Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) Patients Who Stay Moderately Ill Versus Patients Who Become Severely Ill

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
– The aim of this study was to determine the discriminative ability of SAA, C‐reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, and procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with COVID‐19 to differentiate between those who remain moderately ill from patients who become severely ill within 7 days of hospitalization. – This study shows no differences in concentration of SAA, CRP,

Evaluating the Air Respiratory Capacity of Awaous (Chonophorus) tajasica (Gobiiformes: Oxudercidae): A Morpho‐Functional Study

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
We demonstrated that Awaous tajasica performs facultative air breathing under experimental conditions of dissolved oxygen limitation, retaining air bubbles in the buccal cavity during gill ventilation. Morpho‐functional evidence indicates the use of atmospheric oxygen as a respiratory support under conditions of low water oxygenation.

Low‐value care and variation in practice in the care of children hospitalized with bronchiolitis in Canada (CareBEST): Protocol for a multi‐center prospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Low‐value care refers to health services for which the potential harms or costs outweigh the benefits of use. Bronchiolitis is the most common and among the most costly causes of pediatric hospitalizations. Evidence consistently shows that many common tests and treatments used to manage bronchiolitis do not improve outcomes ...

Delayed Life‐Threatening Thyroid Artery Hemorrhage After Percutaneous Transesophageal Gastro‐Tubing in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Case Report

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Percutaneous transesophageal gastro‐tubing provides enteral access when endoscopic gastrostomy is not feasible, but delayed vascular injury is seldom reported. We describe a 73‐year‐old woman with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and prior gastrectomy who became ventilator‐dependent and underwent percutaneous transesophageal gastro‐tubing.

Outpatient preoperative parenteral nutrition in malnourished surgical patients: A feasibility study (the OPPORTUNITY study)

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Preoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) improves outcomes in malnourished surgical patients. Traditionally, this requires hospital admission, increasing length of stay and costs—challenges worsened by limited hospital bed availability. Outpatient PN may offer a feasible alternative.
