An incorrect GPS coordinate leads a worship team to the end of the road, yet God has another route planned.

An adolescent girl with a history of frequent electronic cigarette use of nicotine was hospitalized with severe necrotizing pneumonia. Blood cultures obtained before the administration of empirical broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics had positive results for the growth of Fusobacterium necrophorum. The pathogen is an uncommon but well-known cause of anaerobic pneumonia with unique features that are collectively referred to as Lemierre syndrome or postanginal sepsis. The syndrome begins as a pharyngeal infection. Untreated, the infection progresses to involve the ipsilateral internal jugular vein, resulting in septic thrombophlebitis with direct spread from the neck to the lungs causing multifocal necrotizing pneumonia. The teenager we present in this report had neither a preceding pharyngeal infection nor Doppler ultrasonographic evidence for the presence of deep neck vein thrombi, leading us to explore alternative mechanisms for her pneumonia. We propose the possibility that her behavior of frequent vaping led to sufficient pharyngeal irritation such that F necrophorum colonizing her oropharynx was inhaled directly into her lungs during electronic cigarette use. Preexisting, but not yet recognized, vaping-related lung injury may have also contributed to her risk of developing the infection. The patient was hospitalized for 10 days. At follow-up one month later, she still became short of breath with minimal exertion.

Teens in Europe are gathered this week to connect with Jesus and each other. A month ago, teenagers in Australia had this experience.

"How can we honour these 'mothers and fathers' [of OM]," asks David Greenlee. "Inclusion is one way, encouraging their ongoing participation, not forgetting them in our concern."

Celtic Connections

The Celtic Connections roots and traditional music festival recorded 100,000 visits this January.

WHEN Malian quartet Songhoy Blues performed at last year's Celtic Connections, audiences were treated to a form of music appealingly dubbed “desert blues”. A user-friendly term, it sounds like it could have been dreamed up by a marketing agency and applied equally well to a perfume, a brand of jeans or a chain of upmarket Tex-Mex restaurants.

Celtic Connections

From Thursday 16 January to Sunday 2 February 2020, musicians from across the world will take part in over 300 events in venues throughout Glasgow for the UK's premier celebration of celtic music.

THE Celtic Connections music festival last night lifted the curtain on next year’s line up – and revealed it will be kicking off the 700th celebrations of the Declaration of Arbroath.

IT’S been an up and down sort of day for Imran Akhtar. And in a much too literal sense, as far as he’s concerned. First, he had to clamber on top of the roof of the Ottoman Coffee House on Glasgow’s Berkeley Street, to make sure the temporary tarpaulin was still in place and keeping out the wind, rain, hail and snow. (It’s been one of those typical Scottish afternoons, with the weather behaving like a plump maiden aunt’s two-layered chocolate box. In other words, way too many delights

Schools can't even afford to hire enough teachers, so why are we surprised that teachers are turning to a website for resources? asks Kat Tipton.

English-language-learner families are less likely to attend parent-teacher conferences and other school-related events, which means they miss out on important opportunities to communicate about their children's academic progress.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) can present within the first week of life in term infants. In preterm infants, NEC usually appears after commencement of feeds and can occur between 2 and 3 weeks of life.

Among infants <33 weeks’ gestation, NEC appears to occur at mean age of 7 days in more mature infants, whereas onset of NEC is delayed to 32 days of age in smaller, lower gestational age infants. (Read the full article)

Fetal factors that predispose infants to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) have been extensively studied. Maternal factors that may affect future risk for NEC are less clear.

We hypothesized that maternal factors were the primary cause of NEC. Through a case-control design we determined that maternal smoking predisposes infants to the development of NEC. Our results highlight the importance of smoking cessation in pregnancy. (Read the full article)

The incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a devastating condition in neonates, varies geographically and with time. Although the most consistent risk factors are prematurity and low birth weight, it has not been convincingly shown to increase in the postsurfactant era.

The incidence of NEC, especially among the highly premature but also in more mature groups, has increased in recent decades, concurrent with dramatically improved early infant survival. Seasonal variation of NEC suggests environmental etiological factors. (Read the full article)

Clinical decisions must be medically necessary to be approved by insurers. There is a federally mandated medical necessity standard for children in Medicaid, but not in private plans. American Academy of Pediatrics policy calls on pediatricians to help define pediatric medical necessity.

This study reviewed pediatric medical necessity definitions in Medicaid state statutes, regulations, and provider manuals. The federal standard was not replicated on all levels, and provider manuals were least likely to have it. Pediatricians should engage in defining pediatric standards. (Read the full article)

Necrotizing enterocolitis is associated with high mortality and morbidity in premature infants. Anaerobic antimicrobial therapy has been associated with increased risk of intestinal strictures in a small randomized trial. Optimal antimicrobial therapy for necrotizing enterocolitis is unknown.

Anaerobic antimicrobial therapy was associated with increased risk of stricture formation. Infants with surgical necrotizing enterocolitis treated with anaerobic antimicrobial therapy had lower mortality. For infants with medical necrotizing enterocolitis, there was no added benefit associated with anaerobic antimicrobial therapy. (Read the full article)

Mortality rates and health care expenditures are high among infants requiring surgery for necrotizing enterocolitis. The impact of different surgical managements on mortality remains equivocal. Adjusted economic differences for various surgical treatments may exist but have not been elucidated.

After performing a relatively large-scale, adjusted analysis of cost and mortality for surgical managements currently used for treating necrotizing enterocolitis, a cost-benefit for a particular surgical approach was demonstrated while accounting for comorbidities and group assignment bias.
