Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Efficacy and Safety of Enteral Recombinant Human Insulin for Reduction of Time-to-Full Enteral Feeding in Preterm Infants: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
Infants born very prematurely have functionally and structurally immature gastrointestinal tracts. ⋯ Our trial demonstrated that administration of enteral rh-insulin as supplement to enteral nutrition significantly reduced time to achieve full enteral feeding in preterm infants with a gestational age of 26-33 weeks.

Comparative Study
Ultra-Low Dose Chest CT with Denoising for Lung Nodule Detection.
Medical imaging and the resultant ionizing radiation exposure is a public concern due to the possible risk of cancer induction. ⋯ When assessing asymptomatic patients for pulmonary nodules, finding a negative screen using ULD CT with denoising makes it highly unlikely for a patient to have a pulmonary nodule that requires aggressive investigation. Future studies of this technique should include larger cohorts and be considered for lung cancer screening as radiation exposure is radically reduced.

Safety of Femoral Nerve Blockade for Hip Fractures inAdult Patients Treated with Anti-Xa Direct Oral Anticoagulants: A Pilot Study.
Limited data exist regarding the safety of ultrasound-guided femoral nerve blockade (US-FNB) in patients with hip fractures treated with anti-Xa direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). ⋯ Regarding patients treated with Anti-Xa DOAC, US-FNB was not associated with an increase in major bleeding events compared to conventional analgesia, although it was an effective means of pain alleviation. Larger scale randomized controlled trials are required to determine long-term safety and efficacy.
