Try to make sense of this if you can. The other day, a fund-raising event for the Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, who is gay, was disrupted by protesters. But they weren’t the kind of protesters you’d expect to get angry about a gay candidate. The protesters were gay themselves. It was a protest against a gay man staged by gays. It was gays against gays. It was pink on pink. It was confusing.

Several qualitative studies have revealed that caregivers use infant fussing as a cue for beginning complementary feeding (CF). Despite a higher prevalence of early CF among black infants, few studies have quantitatively examined the role of maternal perception of infant fussiness.

Results of this study show that in a cohort of low-income, black, first-time mothers, early CF was highly prevalent and that maternal perception of infant temperament, breastfeeding, and maternal obesity and depression were important factors related to early CF. (Read the full article)

Although morbidity-free survival for preterm infants has remained constant in US NICUs when assessed collectively, morbidity-free survival differs among centers. Center-specific practices before, at, or after delivery might affect outcomes of the most premature infants.

Our findings suggest that the approach taken to infants at the limits of viability is associated with outcomes of more-mature infants. Identifying centers with higher survival and lower morbidity might lead to identification of key practices to improve morbidity-free survival. (Read the full article)

Tedizolid has demonstrated its efficacy and safety in clinical trials, however, data concerning its tolerability in long-term treatments is scarce. The aim of the study was to assess the indications and to describe the long-term safety profile of tedizolid.

A multicentric, retrospective study of patients who received tedizolid for more than 6-days was conducted. Adverse events (AEs) were identified from patients' medical records and laboratory data. The World Health Organization causality categories were used to discern AEs probably associated with tedizolid.

Eighty-one patients, treated with tedizolid 200mg once-daily for a median (IQR) duration of 28 (14-59) days, were included, 36 (44.4%) had previously received linezolid. Most common reasons for selecting tedizolid were to avoid linezolid potential toxicities or interactions (53.1%) or due to previous linezolid-related toxicities (27.2%). Most common indications were off-label, including prosthetic joint infections, osteomyelitis and respiratory infections (77.8%). Overall, 9/81 patients (11.1%) experienced a probably associated AE. Two patients (2.5%) developed gastrointestinal disorders, 1 (1.2%) anemia and 6 thrombocytopenia (7.4%) after a median (IQR) duration of treatment of 26.5 (17-58.5) days. Four (5%) patients discontinued tedizolid due to AEs. Among 23 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) the rate of mielotoxicity was 17.4% and only 8.7% had to stop tedizolid and 20 out of 22 with previous linezolid-associated toxicity had no AE.

Long-term tedizolid treatments had good tolerance with rates of gastrointestinal AE and hematological toxicity lower than those reported with linezolid, particularly in patients with CRF and in those with a previous history of linezolid-associated toxicity.
