RSZ appears to be safe in children with EoE over 9 years of treatment experience. Symptoms and eosinophil count improved considerably during treatment with RSZ despite a relatively unrestricted diet.
In this work, radiation detectors were fabricated using 8 mm × 8 mm substrates, ~ 390 μm in thickness, diced from commercial (0001) 4H-SiC semi-insulating wafer (> 10 9 Ohm-cm). Our characterization results, including x-ray diffraction (XRD), electron beam induced current (EBIC), chemical etching, cross-polarized imaging, thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements, chemical etching and Raman spectroscopy, show the high quality of the semiinsulating SiC crystals, which are believed to meet the requirements of fabricating high performance radiation detectors. Current-voltage characteristics showed very low leakage current (~ 1.5 pA at -500 V) and the capability of detector's operation up to 200°C.
Objective: Determine recurrent neonatal acute kidney injury (rAKI) incidence, risk factors, and associated outcomes.
Study Design: Single-center retrospective cohort of neonates admitted to the NICU 1/1/20-6/30/21. Comparisons were made between those with no AKI, single episode AKI (sAKI), and rAKI. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were used to assess associations between rAKI and length of mechanical ventilation (LMV), length of hospitalization stay (LOS), mortality, and hypertension (HTN) at discharge.
Results: The incidence of AKI in the cohort of 869 infants was 19%: 705 (81%) no AKI, 100 (12%) sAKI, 64 (7%) rAKI. Both sAKI and rAKI were independently associated with longer LMV and LOS. sAKI was independently associated with almost 4x higher odds of mortality than rAKI.
Conclusion: In this single center cohort of neonates, sAKI independently predicts mortality, however rAKI is independently associated with increased LMV and LOS suggesting rAKI is clinically important and warrants further study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
