Gautham Suresh,Jeffrey D. Horbar,Paul E. Plsek,James Gray,James Gray,William H. Edwards,William H. Edwards,Patricia H. Shiono,Robert Ursprung,Robert Ursprung,Julianne Nickerson,Jerold F. Lucey,Donald A. Goldmann,Donald A. Goldmann +13 more
TL;DR: A voluntary, anonymous, Internet-based reporting system for medical errors in neonatal intensive care is developed, its feasibility is evaluated, and errors that affect high-risk neonates and their families are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paul J. Sharek,Jeffrey D. Horbar,Wilbert H. Mason,Hema Bisarya,Cary Thurm,Gautham Suresh,James Gray,William H. Edwards,Donald A. Goldmann,David C. Classen +9 more
TL;DR: A NICU-focused trigger tool for adverse event detection and to describe the incidence of adverse events in NICUs identified by this tool, which appears efficient and effective at identifying adverse events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tomas Maira-Litran,Andrea Kropec,C. Abeygunawardana,Joseph G. Joyce,George E. Mark,Donald A. Goldmann,Gerald B. Pier +6 more
TL;DR: The chemical structure of PS/A is determined to be β(1-6)-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG), which helps to differentiate it from PIA on the basis of immunogenicity, molecular size, and solubility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Confocal Microscopy To Analyze the Rate of Vancomycin Penetration through Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms
TL;DR: It is found that while vancomycin bound to free-floating bacteria in water within 5 min, it took more than 1 h to bind to cells within the deepest layers of a biofilm, indicating that the antibiotic is transported through the depth of the biofilm but that the rate is significantly reduced with respect to its transport through flowing water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-PCV7 Changes in Colonizing Pneumococcal Serotypes in 16 Massachusetts Communities, 2001 and 2004
Susan S. Huang,Richard Platt,Sheryl L. Rifas-Shiman,Stephen I. Pelton,Donald A. Goldmann,Jonathan A. Finkelstein +5 more
TL;DR: Pneumococcal colonization has changed after the introduction of PCV7, both in serotype distribution and in patterns of antibiotic resistance, and this shift toward increased carriage of nonvaccine serotypes warrants vigilance for changes in the epidemiology of invasive pneumococcal disease.
