    Abstract Latina women breastfeed at high rates immediately postpartum but also frequently introduce formula. Formula negatively affects breastfeeding, and maternal and child health. The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) has been shown to improve breastfeeding outcomes. A BFHI-designated hospital must facilitate lactation education for clinical and non-clinical personnel. Housekeepers, often the sole hospital employees sharing the linguistic and cultural heritage of Latina patients, have frequent patient interactions. This pilot project at a community hospital in New Jersey investigated Spanish-speaking housekeeping staff's attitudes and knowledge regarding breastfeeding before and after implementing a lactation education program. After the training the housekeeping staff overall had more positive attitudes toward breastfeeding. This may, in the short-term, contribute to a hospital culture more supportive of breastfeeding.

    Abstract Ideonella sakaiensis (I. sakaiensis) can grow on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as the major carbon and energy source. Previous work has shown that PET conversion in the presence of oxygen released carbon dioxide and water while yielding adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. This study demonstrates that I. sakaiensis is a facultative anaerobe that ferments PET to the feedstock chemicals acetate and ethanol in the absence of oxygen. In addition to PET, the pure monomer ethylene glycol (EG), the intermediate product ethanol, and the carbohydrate fermentation test substance maltose can also serve as fermenting substrates. Co-culturing of I. sakaiensis with the electrogenic and acetate-consuming Geobacter sulfurreducens produced electricity from PET or EG. This newly identified plastic fermentation process by I. sakaiensis provides thus a novel biosynthetic route to produce high-value chemicals or electricity from plastic waste streams.

    Abstract Purpose of review: This review highlights recent developments in the field of pediatric allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and patch testing. We will review updates on the pathophysiology of contact dermatitis, discuss new contact allergens, explore the impact of dupilumab on patch testing, and provide pearls for the diagnosis and management of ACD in children.
    Recent findings: ACD is not a single immunologic phenomenon but rather has contributions from multiple inflammatory pathways. Emerging contact allergens include ingredients found in "slime" toys, glucose monitors and insulin pumps, and electronic equipment. Data thus far suggests that patch testing results are generally reliable in the face of concurrent dupilumab use.
    Summary: ACD is likely underrecognized and underdiagnosed in pediatric patients, including infants and young children. Providers should keep patient-specific factors and emerging trends in mind when addressing suspected ACD, consider contact dermatitis when they encounter challenging cases of atypical, refractory, or chronic dermatitis, and feel comfortable performing patch testing in children.

    Abstract A 3-week-old baby with hydrops fetalis, acute respiratory failure, and shock of unknown etiology developed a diffuse, pustular rash with worsening inflammatory markers and respiratory status despite antimicrobials. Whole exome sequencing revealed a de novo, frameshift mutation in the SAM9DL gene, leading to the diagnosis of SAMD9L-associated autoinflammatory disease.

    Abstract Background: Erythema multiforme (EM), an acute dermatologic condition frequently encountered in the Emergency Department, classically presents with a targetoid rash. We reviewed all recent EM cases seen at the LAC-USC County Hospital in order to ascertain the proportion of Herpes associated EM (HAEM) cases and to inform the diagnostic workup of these patients.
    Methods: ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes were used to extract a list of EM cases at our institution from 2013 to 2019. Two non-blinded abstractors screened records to confirm an EM diagnosis and entered patient data utilizing a standardized data abstraction form. Cohen's kappa statistic was used to measure inter-rater reliability on various variables. Kappa (κ) values ranged from 0.803 to 1.0.
    Results: 70 pediatric and 56 adult EM patients were included in the study. A likely etiology was ascribed to 63% of pediatric and adult EM cases. Pediatric EM was most commonly attributed to upper respiratory infection (URI) (n = 23; 33%), Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection (n = 5; 7%), and medications (n = 4; 6%). Adult EM was most commonly attributed to HSV infection (n = 11; 20%), medications (n = 5; 9%), URIs (n = 4; 7%), and other infections (n = 4; 7%).
    Conclusion: HSV-1/2 serologic testing should be considered in most EM patients to potentially prevent repeated ED visits. In EM cases not clearly attributable to herpes or drug exposure, physicians can consider further workup: Mycoplasma serology, nasal PCR, and a respiratory viral panel in pediatric patients. Identification of an etiologic cause may suggest a different treatment approach and prevent mislabeling of medication allergies in patient charts.
