    Abstract Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common arrhythmia among infants. Prevention of SVT is frequently managed through propranolol therapy. Hypoglycemia is a known adverse effect of propranolol therapy, but little research has been done on the incidence and risk of hypoglycemia in treatment of SVT in infants with propranolol. This study attempts to offer insight into the risk of hypoglycemia associated with propranolol therapy when treating infantile SVT to help inform future glucose screening guidelines. We conducted a retrospective chart review of infants treated with propranolol in our hospital system. Inclusion criteria were infants < 1 year of age who received propranolol for the treatment of SVT. A total of 63 patients were identified. Data was collected on sex, age, race, diagnosis, gestational age, nutrition source (Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) vs oral), weight (kg), weight for length (kg/cm), propranolol dose (mg/kg/day), comorbidities, and whether or not a hypoglycemic event was identified (< 60 mg/dL). Hypoglycemic events were identified in 9/63 (14.3%) patients. Of the patients with hypoglycemic events, 9/9 (88.9%) had comorbid conditions. Patients with hypoglycemic events had significantly lower weight and propranolol dose than those without hypoglycemic events. Weight for length also tended to increase risk for hypoglycemic events. The high incidence of comorbid conditions in the patients who had hypoglycemic events suggests that hypoglycemic monitoring may only be necessary in patients with conditions predisposing to hypoglycemia.

    Abstract Traditional laboratory methods for measuring soil water retention curves (SWRCs) typically consist of suction tables, pressure cells, and pressure plate apparatus (i.e., traditional methods). However, technological advancement has resulted in newer methods based on precision mini‐tensiometers and dew point water potential meters (i.e., modern methods). This study investigated the discrepancy between SWRCs measured using traditional and modern methods in three soil textures. Our results showed that SWRCs from both traditional and modern methods were similar at the wet end (i.e., matric potentials 0 to −10 kPa) and at the dry end (−500 to −1,500 kPa) of the SWRC, with an average mean absolute difference (MAD) across all three soils of 0.033 and 0.017 cm³ cm⁻³, respectively. The largest discrepancy between methods was consistently observed at moderate tensions of −33 and −70 kPa for the three soils, with an average MAD of 0.059 cm³ cm⁻³ for −33 kPa and a MAD of 0.083 cm³ cm⁻³ for −70 kPa. Plant available water capacity differed by up to 20% between the traditional and modern methods in a clay loam soil. While previous studies have mostly focused on the dry end of the SWRC, our study suggests that additional research comparing traditional and modern methods is required at moderate (−70 and −500 kPa) tension levels.

    Abstract The increasing number of chemicals used by society requires accessible, easy to implement tools to perform screening-level ecological risk assessments. However, field data to calibrate and validate screening tools is challenging to obtain for many watersheds. Thus, the evaluation must be done under data limited conditions. Here we employ a fate and transport model, OrganoFate, to predict environmental concentrations of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) as well as a number of pesticides. CECs evaluated include antibacterial compounds sulfamethoxazole and triclocarban and a flame-retardant tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCPP). We also evaluated widely used pesticides chlorpyrifos, bifenthrin and esfenvalerate. We predict concentrations of the contaminants in high-risk watersheds which were dominated by either urban or agricultural development and have small aquatic compartments. Screening-level predictions were in good agreement with observed concentrations in surface water and sediment. Maximum predicted concentrations were close to the highest observed concentrations for CECs, only ~0.1 μg/L greater for sulfamethoxazole and triclocarban concentrations, and for TDCPP <5 μg/L higher. ChemFate was also employed to screen possible aquatic health impacts. Results demonstrated possible CEC aquatic health risk for TDCPP and triclocarban (risk quotients of 0.9 and 1.1 respectively). For pesticides, exceedance of effect (EC50) and lethal (LC50) endpoints was predicted for various taxonomic groups which include aquatic invertebrates, fish, amphibians, and benthic organisms.

    Abstract Objectives: Proper emergency department (ED) utilization is a hallmark of population health. Emergency department overcrowding due to nonurgent visits causes increased stress to healthcare staff, higher costs, and longer wait times for more urgent cases. This study sought to better understand post pandemic reasons caregivers have when bringing in their children for nonurgent visits and devise effective interventions to improve caregiver choice for non-ED care for nonurgent conditions.
    Methods: Surveys were conducted at an urban pediatric hospital for Emergency Severity Index (ESI) level 3 to 5 visits. A total of 602 surveys were completed with 8 being excluded from analysis. Survey responses and anonymized demographic information were collected. Responses were compared between surveys grouped by respondent age category, relation to child, child's race, insurance type, and ESI levels.
    Results: Primary reasons given for nonurgent ED visits were perceived urgency (74.2%, n = 441), ED superiority to other locations (23.9%, n = 142), and referral to the ED by a third party (17.7%, n = 105). Of those who cited perceived urgency as a reason, 80.5% (n = 355) wanted to lessen their child's pain/discomfort as soon as possible, but only 13.6% said that their child was too ill to be seen anywhere else (n = 60). Demographic differences occurred in the proportions of respondents citing some of the primary and secondary reasons for bringing their child to the ED.
    Conclusions: This study highlights 3 key findings. An immediate desire for care plays a key role in caregiver decision making for low-acuity visits. There is potential socioeconomic and racial bias in where care is recommended that needs to be further explored in this region. Cross community interventions that target key reasons for seeking low-acuity care have the highest likelihood of impacting the use of the ED for low-acuity conditions.

    Abstract Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is a treatment option for patients with obstructive sleep apnea who are intolerant to positive airway pressure therapy. In the post-implant period, awake endoscopy with advanced programming (AEAP) can be employed to optimize apnea-hypopnea index reduction and/or patient comfort and usage. The report herein describes awake endoscopy with AEAP as a guide to providers involved in post-implant care. The first 5 consecutive patients were reviewed to provide general understanding of outcomes and safety when implementing such a protocolized approach.
