041) and healthy controls (
 = .029). All milk samples tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Early human milk of infected mothers displayed IgA and IgG SARS-CoV-2 specific reactivity.
Our data showed a different early breast milk Lf "profile" between COVID-19 symptomatic and asymptomatic mothers with the latter being at non-COVID levels (control group). SARS-CoV-2 RNA was not detected in any breast milk sample. Early human milk Lf levels are potentially influenced by the severity of maternal COVID-19 infection during pregnancy.

To delineate risk factors for adverse outcomes among those who underwent cesarean delivery (CD) for non-reassuring fetal heart rate tracing (NRFHT) and ascertain whether neonatal or maternal morbidity can be predicted accurately.
The Consortium on Safe Labor Database was utilized for this secondary analysis. Inclusion criteria were non-anomalous, singleton gestations between 37.0 and 41.6 weeks who underwent CD for NRFHT. Composite adverse neonatal outcomes (CANO) included Apgar <5 at 5 min, seizures, mechanical ventilation, sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis or neonatal death. SCH66336 Composite adverse maternal outcomes (CAMO) included endometritis, blood transfusion, wound complication, admission to intensive care unit, thromboembolism, hysterectomy or death. Bivariable analysis and multivariable Poisson regression were used to identify risk factors independently associated with adverse outcomes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were created to evaluate the predictivse neonatal outcomes following CD for NRFHT are identifiable, they do not suffice to predict them.
Among singletons between 37 and 41 weeks who labored, the rate of CD for NRFHT was about 3.7% and among them CANO occurred in 3.8%. While risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes following CD for NRFHT are identifiable, they do not suffice to predict them.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are an emerging treatment in cancer therapy for prolonging life, minimizing symptoms, and selectively targeting cancer. Program death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors, such as nivolumab, fall within this class, enabling the patient's immune system to detect and destroy cancer. The introduction of ICIs is changing cancer therapy, with new drugs and new toxicities-an evolving area encountered by pharmacists.
This study aims to compare the pattern of nivolumab-induced adverse events observed in practice, when compared with clinical trial and literature data. The secondary aim of the study is to identify the presentation and treatment modalities initiated in practice.
We performed a retrospective case note review across 2 South Australian hospitals to identify the common toxicities and symptomatic treatments experienced by patients receiving nivolumab. Results were compared with clinical trial data from product innovator Bristol-Myer Squib and other published literature.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a critical and costly health issue. Treatment in the outpatient setting is preferred compared to the inpatient setting. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding how best to identify patients who are ideal for outpatient DVT treatment.
To design and evaluate a pharmacist-driven screening tool for the identification of patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) at a community hospital with DVT who are appropriate for outpatient treatment.
This study was conducted in sequential phases compilation and vetting of screening criteria, descriptive evaluation of criteria through retrospective chart review, and quantification of potential cost savings by avoiding admissions. Criteria were collected via literature search and assembled into a screening tool, which was applied retroactively to a cohort of ED patients admitted with DVT diagnosis.
A screening tool was developed with multidisciplinary input and consisted of 5 categories with individual patient and disease state criteria. The majority (91%) of patients reviewed would not have qualified for outpatient DVT treatment based on the retrospective application of the screening tool. The most common disqualification criteria category was high risk of bleeding/clotting (n = 81), and the most frequently represented parameter within that category was antithrombotic therapy prior to admission (n = 53).
A screening tool may not be the most efficient method for health-care practitioners such as pharmacists to identify ED patients appropriate for outpatient management of DVT. Other avenues should be explored for improving the cost-effective management of these patients.

A few studies have mentioned that post-bronchoscopy sputum (PBS) could improve the diagnostic yield in pauci-bacillary pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Therefore, we evaluated the diagnostic yield of PBS for diagnosing pauci-bacillaryPTB.
Clinical data of immunocompromised adult patients with pauci-bacillary PTB were retrospectively retrieved at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, South Korea over a 5-year period. We analyzed patients who underwent bronchoscopy examinations for diagnosing pauci-bacillary PTB.
Ninety patients were finally analyzed. Of these patients, 76 patients were tested with PBS. Six (8%) of these patients had positive results on AFB smear of PBS alone. Additionally, 52 patients (68%) had positive results on mycobacterial culture and 12 (16%) had positive results on mycobacterial culture of PBS exclusively. Therefore, in this study population, a total of 18 patients (20%) were finally diagnosed as having PTB with PBS results only, even though AFB smear microscopy and culture of other specimens had negative results.
