TL;DR: The possibility of NAI should be considered in ex-ELBW infants found to have rib fractures, particularly those situated posteriorly, after incidental finding of healing rib fractures on chest radiographs of ex-preterm born infants.
Abstract: Background: This study was prompted by incidental finding of healing rib fractures on chest radiographs of ex-preterm born infants, who were admitted to hospital with acute respiratory illnesses within a few weeks of discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Rib fractures in infants, particularly those situated posteriorly, are considered to be specific for non-accidental injury (NAI). Methods: Retrospective examination of radiographs of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants (⩽1000 g) with a gestation range of 22 of 33 weeks, cared for at a tertiary NICU, between 1998 and 2002, and who had survived ⩾4 weeks. Results: Five out of 72 (7%) infants studied had radiologically apparent rib fractures. None involved posterior rib shafts. All infants with rib fractures died on the NICU. Conclusions: The possibility of NAI should be considered in ex-ELBW infants found to have rib fractures.

TL;DR: The results of echolocation monitoring indicate that the tri-colored bat occurs within a minimum area of 10,020 km2, and this is an example of a forest-associated bat that seems to be negatively impacted by landscape practices that reduce the spatial extent of forests.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive in situ microanalytical protocol (SEM, confocal Raman microspectroscopy, microthermometry, decrepitate mound analysis, LA-ICP-MS, cathodoluminescence, SIMS) was used to characterize the mineralogy and fluid inclusion systematics associated with the upgrading event.

TL;DR: Certain linguistic groups in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea are unique in that there is no cultural role for a traditional birth attendant and, therefore, women deliver alone unattended, contributing to infant and perinatal mortality rates that were lower among the Angal Heneng than those of the neighbouring language group.

TL;DR: As thyroid cancer incidence continues to increase, this study’s finding that obesity was significant associated with larger tumor size and marginally significantly associated with advanced tumor stage can help establish new preventative actions and identify new target populations for interventions.
Abstract: The incidence of large thyroid tumors has increased over the past decades, suggesting that improved diagnosis is not the only driver of increased thyroid cancer incidence. Obesity has recently been implicated as an independent risk factor for thyroid cancer in specific populations. We aimed to investigate whether thyroid tumor size and advanced stage of diagnosis is associated with the obesity epidemic, for the first time, in a US population-based cohort. We leveraged existing data and linked 1,077 papillary thyroid cancer patients from the Nevada Central Cancer Registry to the Department of Motor Vehicle dataset. Tumor size and cancer stage were assessed from cancer registry records, and obesity was obtained using height and weight in the Department of Motor Vehicle records and measured by a body mass index greater than 25 kg/m2. Crude analysis showed obesity as was associated with tumors larger than 2 cm [odds ratio (OR) 1.50, p = 0.0423] and advanced cancer stage (stage III and IV) (OR 1.40, p = 0.0111). After adjusting for confounders, a significant association was still observed between obesity and tumor larger than 2 cm (OR 1.53, p = 0.0339). A marginally significant association was shown between obesity and advanced cancer stage (OR 1.29, p = 0.0649). As thyroid cancer incidence continues to increase, this study’s finding that obesity was significantly associated with larger tumor size and marginally significantly associated with advanced tumor stage can help establish new preventative actions and identify new target populations for interventions.
