TL;DR: Serum albumin is a strong independent predictor of mortality in HIV‐1‐infected women after adjustment for known disease markers and may be useful for clinical monitoring.
Abstract: BACKGROUND We previously reported that single measurements of albumin strongly predict survival in HIV-1-infected women independent of disease-specific markers. We now extend this to the use of serial measurements and single albumin values prior to initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy. DESIGN Prospective cohort study of 1941 women enrolled at six sites in the Women's Interagency HIV Study. RESULTS Albumin fell 0.44 g/L/y in 1627 women who survived and at a faster rate in 397 who died (1.54 g/L/y; p 42 g/L. The RH of serum albumin or =200 cells/micro L was 8.2 [95% CI: 4.2-15.8]) versus only 3.8 [95% CI: 2.4-6.1] in those with counts 42 g/L) than were other factors. CONCLUSION Serum albumin is a strong independent predictor of mortality in HIV-1-infected women after adjustment for known disease markers and may be useful for clinical monitoring.

TL;DR: Pediatric patients with known or suspected genetic disorders are frequently treated in EDs, and awareness of underlying genetic disorders facilitates diagnostic evaluation, treatment planning, and referral to a genetics clinic for counseling.
Abstract: Objectives To determine the prevalence and patterns of presentation of previously diagnosed and of suspected genetic disorders among pediatric emergency department (ED) visits to a hospital that serves an inner-city population. Patients and Methods A retrospective review of 15,258 pediatric ( Results Of 15,258 visits reviewed, 2839 visits (18.6%) were by patients who had known or suspected genetic disorders. Previously diagnosed genetic disorders were documented in 80 visits (2.8%). Of these, 69 visits (86.2%) were related to single gene disorders, 3 (3.8%) to chromosomal disorders, 6 (7.5%) to multifactorial disorders, and 2 (2.5%) to disorders in the "other" category. Of these 80 visits, 59 (74%) were associated with sickle cell disease. The remaining 2759 visits (97.2%) were associated with complaints or diagnoses that suggested the possibility of an underlying genetic disorder requiring further evaluation and diagnostic work-up. Conclusions Pediatric patients with known or suspected genetic disorders are frequently treated in EDs. Awareness of underlying genetic disorders facilitates diagnostic evaluation, treatment planning, and referral to a genetics clinic for counseling.

TL;DR: This study supports the screening of all children with pharyngitis by performing an RST to guide decision making for antibiotic administration and suggests the availability of a RST could substantially reduce the unnecessary prescription of antibiotics.
Abstract: Acute pharyngitis is commonly seen in children. Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus is the most common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis and accounts for approximately 15% to 30% of cases in children, but this condition is generally overdiagnosed and overtreated. The availability of rapid s

TL;DR: A randomized controlled trial evaluating the effects of triple therapy is necessary prior to implementing vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine combination therapy as a standard of care in patients with septic shock.
Abstract: A recent study suggested mortality benefits using vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine combination therapy (triple therapy) in addition to standard care in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. In order to further evaluate the effects of triple therapy in real-world clinical practice, we conducted a retrospective observational cohort study at an academic tertiary care hospital. A total of 94 patients (47 in triple therapy group and 47 in standard care group) were included in the analysis. Baseline characteristics in both groups were well-matched. No significant difference in the primary outcome, hospital mortality, was seen between triple therapy and standard care groups (40.4% vs. 40.4%; p = 1.000). In addition, there were no significant differences in secondary outcomes, including intensive care unit (ICU) mortality, requirement for renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, and time to vasopressor independence. When compared to standard care, triple therapy did not improve hospital or ICU mortality in patients with septic shock. A randomized controlled trial evaluating the effects of triple therapy is necessary prior to implementing vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine combination therapy as a standard of care in patients with septic shock.
