Predictive Value of Modified Lung Ultrasound Score for Late Respiratory Diseases in Premature Infants: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
This study is to assess the predictive value of the modified lung ultrasound score (mLUS) for late respiratory diseases in premature infants born before 32 weeks of gestation. It is recommended that the use of mLUS scoring be promoted in clinical practice for the early screening of high‐risk preterm infants.

Healthcare Utilization in Children Following Hospitalization for RSV- Versus Non-RSV Related Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: A Nationwide Retrospective Study. [PDF]

Pediatr Pulmonol
ABSTRACT Introduction Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in young children. Additionally, RSV is associated with long‐term respiratory morbidities. This study evaluates acute and long‐term healthcare utilization (HCU) in infants hospitalized with RSV‐associated LRTI (RSV‐LRTI) compared to ...

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 ...

Approximating Source Location and Star Survivable Network Problems [PDF]

, 2014
In Source Location (SL) problems the goal is to select a mini-mum cost source set $S \subseteq V$ such that the connectivity (or flow) $\psi(S,v)$ from $S$ to any node $v$ is at least the demand $d_v$ of $v$. In many SL problems $\psi(S,v)=d_v$ if $v \in

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): A Comprehensive Overview From Basic Biology to Clinical Prevention and Control

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.
