Paediatric nonbronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage: Overview and recommendations for clinical practice

NB-BAL is an effective procedure for the diagnosis of pulmonary disease processes in ventilated infants and children. This procedure is, however, not without risks to both patients and staff. Numerous complications of NB-BAL exist, with hypoxia being the most common. As a result, care should be taken in performing NB-BAL on haemodynamically unstable patients; patients with coagulation defects; and patients with cardiac or brain abnormalities. This paper presents an overview of paediatric nonbronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (NB-BAL) including: the rationale for NB-BAL; the complications associated with the procedure; indications and contraindications. It also recommends an evidence-based clinical guideline for performing the procedure in the paediatric intensive care unit. By following the NB-BAL guidelines presented in this paper, one can ensure that an effective specimen is obtained from the lower respiratory tract, whilst minimising the risk to the patient

Roads and Trade: Evidence from the US

We estimate the effect of interstate highways on the level and composition of trade for US cities. Highways within cities have a large effect on the weight of city exports with an elasticity of approximately 0.5. We find little effect of highways on the total value of exports. Consistent with this, we find that cities with more highways specialize in sectors producing heavy goods

Draft Genome Sequence of a Terrestrial Planctomycete, \u3cem\u3eSingulisphaera\u3c/em\u3e sp. Strain GP 187, Isolated from Forest Soil

Here we present the draft genome sequence of a novel species of the genus Singulisphaera (phylum Planctomycetes, family Isosphaeraceae), isolated from soil. Singulisphaera sp. strain GP 187 has a relatively large mobilome and numerous novel genes that may contriubte to the production of bioactive molecules
