Observational StudyExhaled Carbon Dioxide and Neonatal Breathing Patterns in Preterm Infants after Birth.
To examine the amount of exhaled carbon dioxide (ECO2) with different breathing patterns in spontaneously breathing preterm infants after birth. ⋯ ECO2 varies with different breathing patterns and increases with gestational age and over time. ECO2 may be an indicator of lung aeration and that postnatal ECO2 monitoring may be useful in preterm infants in the delivery room.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyVariation in Computed Tomography Imaging for Pediatric Injury-Related Emergency Visits.
To assess variation in the use of computed tomography (CT) for pediatric injury-related emergency department (ED) visits. ⋯ There is wide variation in CT imaging for pediatric injury-related visits not attributable solely to case mix. Future work to optimize CT utilization should focus on additional factors contributing to imaging practices and interventions.

Association of Rewarming Rate on Neonatal Outcomes in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants with Hypothermia.
To explore the possible association between rewarming rate and neonatal outcomes in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWIs) with hypothermia. ⋯ In ELBWIs with hypothermia upon NICU admission, there were no significant differences between rapid or slow rewarming rate and major neonatal outcomes. A higher rewarming rate was associated with a reduced incidence of respiratory distress syndrome.

The Treatment of Juvenile Fibromyalgia with an Intensive Physical and Psychosocial Program.
To assess the short-term and 1-year outcomes of children with fibromyalgia treated with intensive physical and occupational therapy (PT/OT) and psychotherapy. ⋯ Children with fibromyalgia can be successfully treated without medications with a very intensive PT/OT and psychotherapy program. They have significantly improved pain and function by subject report and objective measures of function.
