Is There a Mild Form of Pediatric Appendicitis? An Eight-Year Single-Center Retrospective Review by Eric Scheier, Khaled Khalilia, Pavel Peslin, Stav Amir, Luba Pasherstnik Bizer

“…More resources were used for medical treatment—these children had longer hospitalizations (3.5 versus 1.6 days, <i>p</i> = 0.001) and more frequently received repeat bloodwork (68% versus 36%, <i>p</i> = 0.051). Conclusions: Appendicitis that resolves spontaneously, and appendicitis that presents with normal inflammatory markers, may represent rare, low-risk forms of appendicitis that may not be associated with progression to complication. …”

A randomized comparative effectiveness trial to evaluate two programs for promotion of physical activity after spinal cord injury in manual wheelchair users by Jenna M. Martinez, Jenna M. Martinez, Lisa L. Haubert, Valerie J. Eberly, Walter B. Weiss, Jeffery W. Rankin

“…At final evaluation, diastolic blood pressure after a 6-Minute Push Test was significantly lower in the WODAA group, while no differences were found in distance traveled, systolic, or pre-test diastolic blood pressures. Metabolic bloodwork and shoulder pain scores did not change and were similar between groups.ConclusionDepending on the measure used, these findings suggest that a WODAA approach to PA is comparable or more effective than a traditional PACE program in promoting physical activity in low-active manual wheelchair users with paraplegia.…”
