Abstract

To determine the frequency of and factors associated with the use of child restraint devices (CRDs) in patients leaving an urban children's hospital. Verbally administered survey, followed by observation of CRD use. Main parking area at an urban children's hospital with mandated use of parking attendants. A convenience sample of 295 parents or guardians who were leaving the hospital and were accompanied by at least 1 child younger than 48 months. Eighty percent of the respondents were female; 77% of the respondents were white and 22% were African American. Two hundred thirty-five (80%) used CRDs. Subjects who were at risk of CRD noncompliance included nonwhite individuals (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 6.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.0-14.5), those whose primary source of medical care was from a public clinic (OR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.1-5.3) or from a specialty clinic (OR, 2.4; 95% CI, 0.8-6.6), and those who were older than 24 months (OR, 8.7; 95% CI, 3.5-21.9). Parental education and income level were not important predictors of CRD compliance controlling for race, primary medical care source, and age. Study participants were observed for incorrect CRD use; 30% (30/ 99 of infants younger than 12 months were incorrectly placed in t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
