Claire Wright, Rebecca Wordsworth, Linda Glennie
Meningococcal disease can result in severe disabling sequelae, but there is no
published information about the lifelong rehabilitation costs of patients with
severe outcome in the UK. As cost-effectiveness studies play a crucial role in
determining whether immunization programmes will be implemented, it is important
to identify these costs. The aim of the study was to estimate lifelong

Benoit Bailey, Evelyne D. Trottier
Far more attention is now given to pain management in children in the emergency
department (ED). When a child arrives, pain must be recognized and evaluated

Topiramate is an antiepileptic drug (AED) which appears to have a broad range of
antiseizure activity in humans. A previous overview focused primarily on results
of trials of topiramate in adults with epilepsy, and this review highlights the

Robert H. Pietrzak, George T. Ladd, Nancy M. Petry
Rapid expansion of legalized gambling has been associated with increased rates
of gambling disorders among adults and adolescents worldwide. Epidemiologic
studies suggest that, in North America, up to 6% of adults and 20% of
adolescents have a gambling problem. Despite increasing prevalence rates of
gambling disorders, little research is available on how to treat such disorders
in adolescents. Muc... hiện toàn bộ

that include Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and inflammatory
bowel disease-unclassified (IBDU). The latter defines a subgroup of patients
with clinical and endoscopic evidence of chronic colitis, without specific
features of either CD or UC. These patients will possibly be re-classified as
having UC or C... hiện toàn bộ

Extended-interval aminoglycoside (EIAG) and extended- and continuous-infusion
β-lactam (EIBL and CIBL) dosing strategies are increasingly used in adults, but
pediatric literature is limited. The objective of this study was to describe the
use of EIAG, EIBL, and CIBL dosing in pediatric hospitals in the USA. A national
survey of children’s hospitals was conducted. A single practitioner from each
