In pediatric patients who are not yet mobile or verbal, diagnosing abuse can be even more difficult as histories must be taken from someone other than the patient, who may potentially be the abuser. Rates of child abuse also vary widely by demographics, including location. Rural areas have higher risk factors for child physical abuse, including higher rates of childhood poverty. This study aimed to identify injury trends and demographic populations of physical child abuse related to fractures in a rural Midwest pediatric population and compare them to national statistics.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study utilized a retrospective chart review of Sanford Health Enterprise patients less than 12 months of age with ICD-10 fracture diagnoses between 2017 and 2021. An initial chart review was performed to identify mechanism of injury, demographics, and other medical information. A second chart review was performed, by a child abuse pediatrician, for inter-rater reliability, as well as context for perpetrator information, location of abuse, and child abuse specialist findings. This child abuse pediatrician then categorized each patient's case as \"Consistent with Abuse\", \"Concern for Abuse/Indeterminant\", or \"Accidental/Medical\". Wilcoxon rank-sum and Fisher's exact tests were conducted to identify statistically significant differences among patients in each category.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>107 patients were included in the study. Patients with injuries consistent with abuse were younger than those with injuries deemed indeterminate or concerning for abuse, as well as those with accidental or medical injuries (p =0.008). Injuries such as skull, facial, and rib fractures, injuries to the chest, and bruising were more strongly associated with abuse, while upper and lower extremity injuries were not. Over half of the cases consistent with abuse involved patients with undocumented or inconsistent explanations for their injuries. Compared to femur fractures being the most common bone fracture secondary to child abuse in national studies, rib fractures and chest injuries were more common in this rural Midwest pediatric sample. Additionally, the presence of other fractures identified through skeletal surveys further increased the likelihood of abuse.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study highlights the correlation between injury patterns of physically abused pediatric patients in the rural population. Younger patients with bone fractures were more likely to be abused compared to those with accidental injuries. Inconsistent or undocumented mechanisms of injury were also more common in abuse cases. These findings suggest younger patients with bone fractures or an unknown mechanism should be extensively evaluated for child abuse.

This project explored weather related events, particularly thunder events, and their association with chest pain and myocardial infarction. Changing weather patterns have previously been linked to cardiovascular complaints in the emergency department. Additionally, researchers have been able to link chronic noise pollution, like traffic noise, to a significant increase in cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about the relationship between a single loud noise, such as thunder after a lightning strike, and myocardial infarction.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Location and time of lightning events in a 100-mile radius of Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD from June 1, 2021 through July 31, 2021 was obtained from Global measurement instruments company Vaisala. Data for thunder was not available. The McKennan Emergency Department electronic medical record was queried for chief complaints of chest pain and dermatologic complaints (control group) during the same timeframe using ICD codes. Patients presenting to the ED for chest pain were further evaluated to determine if they were diagnosed with a myocardial infarction. Date of patient presentation to the ED was then cross-referenced to the Vaisala lightning data to determine if lightning, and therefore thunder, occurred on the date of presentation. The number of chest pain complaints on days with lightning was compared to number of dermatologic complaints to determine statistical significance using a chi-squared test.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>From June 1, 2021, to July 31, 2021, 188 of 309 patients presented to Avera McKennan Emergency Department with a chest pain complaint on a day with lightning. A total of 5 patients were diagnosed with myocardial infarction. Of the patients diagnosed with a myocardial infarction, 4 of the 5 patients presented on a day with recorded lightning. Lightning was recorded on 39 of the 61 days of our timeframe. To evaluate differing lead times for lightning events, p-values for various times post-lightning strike were analyzed. A p-value less than or equal to 0.5 was considered significant. This study showed a p-value of 0.034 at 0.5 hours after lightning strike. At 2.5, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, and 5.5 hours after a lightning strike occurred the p-values were 0.047, 0.033, 0.029, 0.018, 0.019, and 0.039 respectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study showed a significant increase in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain complaints 0.5 hours after lightning strike and between 2.5-5.5 hours after lightning strike.

It is important for physicians to counsel their patients about good nutrition and dietary changes related to treatment and prevention of many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Physician endorsement of the importance of nutrition for overall health benefit will increase the likelihood that their patients make the necessary changes in their diet and lifestyle to help reduce the health risks associated with many chronic diseases.

The series covered topics including: general nutrition and how diet and nutrition affects cardiovascular, GI, renal, and endocrine diseases.

To expand potential treatments for alcohol use disorder and improve treatment efficacy, calcineurin (CN) inhibiting cyclosporine A (CsA) is investigated as a potential treatment for this disorder based on a neuroinflammation-driven approach to addictive behaviors and stress maladaptation. CsA has previously been shown to reduce binge-drinking behaviors, and this study aims to provide a connection between binge-drinking reduction and stress response to the expression of the neuroinflammasome.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>CamKIIa and CRF neuronal CN knockout mice were characterized for knockout of CN expression through immunohistochemistry and RNA scope imaging of selected brain regions. Others from this cohort were then subjected to 6-week binge-drinking behavioral experiments in the format of \"Drinking-in-the-Dark\" (DID). Experimental mice were tracked for ethanol intake overtime and following injection of either vehicle only intraperitoneal injection or CsA and vehicle injection for any changes. These transgenic mice were separately subjected to 1-hour restraint stress experiments with exposure to either CsA or vehicle only. These cohorts were sacrificed with their brain tissue harvested and microdissected for rtPCR characterization of inflammatory gene products. Expression of CD45, COX- 2, CYC, Iba-1, IL-1b, IL-6, TNF-a, ACTB, CCL2, and CCR2 was quantified. The expression for CsA exposed mice was then compared to vehicle-only mice through the log2 fold change analysis for final comparison.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Immunohistochemistry with RNA scope imaging for calcineurin expression revealed widespread CN knockout in the experimental lineage. CN knockout revealed no effect on ethanol consumption in DID models for both CamkIIa and CRF neuronal CN knockout compared to wild type. CsA did still induce a large reduction in ethanol intake for both lines of CN knockout mice compared to baseline. In the restraint stress study, rtPCR log2 fold analysis revealed that CsA reduced a wide-range of stress-induced neuroinflammatory markers. Specifically, the authors observed a generalized reduction in inflammatory gene expression with IL-1b seeing a nearly 6-fold decrease in both the central nucleus of the amygdala as well as the paraventricular nucleus.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The findings of normal baseline drinking behaviors and improved parameters following treatment with CsA in wild type and neuronal CN knockout lineages indicate that CN at the level of neurons is not responsible for CsA-induced reduction in binge-drinking behavior.

Food insecurity during the prenatal period may negatively impact maternal and child health, though limited research exists investigating this unique independent relationship. Especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, which elevated rates of food insecurity, it is necessary to understand food insecurity as a unique stressor with a potential relationship to adverse pregnancy outcomes.
