Traditional dosing strategies often rely on a “one‐size‐fits‐all” paradigm, assuming an “average” patient with typical demographic and pharmacological characteristics. In reality, this often overlooks existing between‐patient variability and can lead to suboptimal drug exposure or toxicity. This issue is especially pronounced in pediatric patients, who

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Bacteremia in horses undergoing routine dental prophylaxis: Before, during, and after the procedure
Abstract Background Transient bacteremia after dental procedures is well‐documented in the literature, but the prevalence and clinical significance in horses remains largely unexplored. Objectives To assess whether routine dental prophylaxis in clinically healthy horses is associated with detection of bacteria in blood, using culture and 16S rDNA ...

New Medical Schools, Access to Physicians, and Health Outcomes: Evidence From Japan
ABSTRACT We analyse the impact of the construction of medical schools and associated university hospitals in Japan during the 1970s, which was primarily driven by ‘One Prefecture, One Medical School Policy’ (OPOMS). We find that the number of physicians increased significantly in prefectures where a medical school was built, and this effect persisted ...
