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 ...

Exploring the Dynamics of Ischemia and Reactive Hyperemia With Skeletal Muscle Blood Oxygen Level Dependent MRI in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease, Age‐Matched Controls, and Young Healthy Subjects

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) MRI is a technique for assessing vascular function in peripheral limbs. In patients, however, an increased frequency of atypical response patterns has been observed, warranting investigation into its underlying causes.
