TL;DR: Early-onset sepsis remains an uncommon but potentially lethal problem among very-low-birth-weight infants, and the change in pathogens over time from predominantly gram-positive to predominantly Gram-negative requires confirmation by ongoing surveillance.
Abstract: Background It is uncertain whether the rates and causes of early-onset sepsis (that occurring within 72 hours after birth) among very-low-birth-weight infants have changed in recent years, since antibiotics have begun to be used more widely during labor and delivery. Methods We studied 5447 very-low-birth-weight infants (those weighing between 401 and 1500 g) born at centers of the Neonatal Research Network of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development between 1998 and 2000 who had at least one blood culture in the first three days of life and compared them with 7606 very-low-birth-weight infants born at centers in the network between 1991 and 1993. Results Early-onset sepsis (as confirmed by positive blood cultures) was present in 84 infants in the more recent birth cohort (1.5 percent). As compared with the earlier birth cohort, there was a marked reduction in group B streptococcal sepsis (from 5.9 to 1.7 per 1000 live births of infants weighing 401 to 1500 g, P<0.001) and an increase ...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the relationship between individual job satisfaction and individual performance using the meta-analysis techniques of Hunter, Schmidt, and Jackson (1982) and found higher and more consistent correlations between overall job satisfaction with performance than those previously reported.
Abstract: The correlational literature concerning the relationships between individual job satisfaction and individual performance was analyzed, using the metaanalysis techniques of Hunter, Schmidt, and Jackson (1982). Higher and more consistent correlations between overall job satisfaction and performance were indicated than those previously reported. Relationships between JDI measures of job satisfaction and performance were not as high or as consistent as those found between overall job satisfaction and performance.

TL;DR: It is suggested that patients without chest pain on presentation represent a large segment of the myocardial infarction population and are at increased risk for delays in seeking medical attention, less aggressive treatments, and in-hospital mortality.
Abstract: ContextAlthough chest pain is widely considered a key symptom in the diagnosis
of myocardial infarction (MI), not all patients with MI present with chest
pain. The extent to which this phenomenon occurs is largely unknown.ObjectivesTo determine the frequency with which patients with MI present without
chest pain and to examine their subsequent management and outcome.DesignProspective observational study.Setting and PatientsA total of 434,877 patients with confirmed MI enrolled June 1994 to
March 1998 in the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction 2, which includes
1674 hospitals in the United States.Main Outcome MeasuresPrevalence of presentation without chest pain; clinical characteristics,
treatment, and mortality among MI patients without chest pain vs those with
chest pain.ResultsOf all patients diagnosed as having MI, 142,445 (33%) did not have chest
pain on presentation to the hospital. This group of MI patients was, on average,
7 years older than those with chest pain (74.2 vs 66.9 years), with a higher
proportion of women (49.0% vs 38.0%) and patients with diabetes mellitus (32.6%
vs 25.4%) or prior heart failure (26.4% vs 12.3%). Also, MI patients without
chest pain had a longer delay before hospital presentation (mean, 7.9 vs 5.3
hours), were less likely to be diagnosed as having confirmed MI at the time
of admission (22.2% vs 50.3%), and were less likely to receive thrombolysis
or primary angioplasty (25.3% vs 74.0%), aspirin (60.4% vs 84.5%), β-blockers
(28.0% vs 48.0%), or heparin (53.4% vs 83.2%). Myocardial infarction patients
without chest pain had a 23.3% in-hospital mortality rate compared with 9.3%
among patients with chest pain (adjusted odds ratio for mortality, 2.21 [95%
confidence interval, 2.17-2.26]).ConclusionsOur results suggest that patients without chest pain on presentation
represent a large segment of the MI population and are at increased risk for
delays in seeking medical attention, less aggressive treatments, and in-hospital
mortality.

TL;DR: C and 35/37Cl NMR relaxation measurements on several model systems demonstrate that the solvation of cellulose by the ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride involves hydrogen-bonding between the carbohydrate hydroxyl protons and the IL chloride ions in a 1 ratio 1 stoichiometry.
