Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyMood disorders after traumatic brain injury in adolescents and young adults: a nationwide population-based cohort study.
To delineate the relationship between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and mood disorders from population-based data in Taiwan. ⋯ Our findings show a higher likelihood of manifesting mood disorders in adolescents and young adults who sustained a prior TBI. Health professionals should carefully monitor both the physical and psychological impacts of head trauma.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA randomized controlled trial of two nasal continuous positive airway pressure levels after extubation in preterm infants.
To compare extubation failure rate with two ranges of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in oxygen dependent preterm infants. ⋯ Extubation failure in preterm infants with residual lung disease was lower with NCPAP range of 7-9 compared with 4-6 cmH2O. These findings suggest the need for higher distending pressure post-extubation in the more immature infants who are still oxygen dependent.
