What’s in a Name? Re-evaluating Early Medical Library Leaders in a Modern Context
No full textThis paper will highlight two early medical librarians, Mary Louise Marshall (1893-1986) and William D. Postell, Sr (1908-1982) who were in our chapter’s region, although during their careers, SCC did not exist. While we cannot expect that historical figures have the same knowledge and values as our contemporary colleagues, we can evaluate their writings to see what internal biases were present.
Critically reappraising the work of our predecessors can be a difficult task, especially if these individuals were held in high esteem, won national awards and published important papers about medical librarianship. However, as theories are repudiated, re-evaluation is key.
A brief biographical sketch of both librarians will be offered, as well as analysis of their publications. The process by which SCC is considering renaming the Postell scholarship will also be discussed

2D Speckle Tracking Strain Echocardiography in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children: A Multicenter Analysis From the MUSIC Study
No full textBACKGROUND: 2D-speckle tracking echocardiography may help detect subclinical ventricular dysfunction, but data in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) are scarce. We investigated left ventricular (LV) strain parameters in MIS-C and their association with outcomes. METHODS: We performed an ambi-directional, 32-center cohort study on hospitalized patients with MIS-C (March 2020-November 2021) with at least 1 echocardiogram read by the Core Lab. Generalized estimating equation modeling was used to test associations between LV strain and a composite in-hospital adverse cardiovascular outcome (vasoactive support, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, extracorporeal support, death, or heart transplant). RESULTS: Of 349 patients (median age, 8.7 years [interquartile range, 5.3-12.9]), 35% had decreased LV ejection fraction during hospitalization, and 45% had depressed LV strain (either 4-chamber LV longitudinal strain [4CH-LVLS] or mid-ventricular LV circumferential strain [mid-LVCS]). The worst 4CH-LVLS and mid-LVCS occurred at ≈5 days of illness; 50% of abnormal LV strain normalized within 1 week, and 95% within 50 days. In-hospital adverse outcomes occurred in 35% of patients; these patients were older (P=0.003) and, at admission, had more likely abnormal troponin (P \u3c 0.001) higher C-reactive protein (P \u3c 0.001), higher indexed LV end-diastolic volume (P \u3c 0.001) and mass (P=0.015), worse LV ejection fraction (P \u3c 0.001), and worse LV strain (4CH-LVLS, P=0.002; mid-LVCS, P=0.001). Covariate-adjusted individual models for each strain parameter showed that 4CH-LVLS (adjusted odds ratio, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.07-1.12]), mid-LVCS (adjusted odds ratio, 1.06 [95% CI, 1.04-1.09]), worst LV strain Z score between 4CH-LVLS and mid-LVCS (adjusted odds ratio, 1.30 [95% CI, 1.21-1.41]), and early diastolic longitudinal strain rate (adjusted odds ratio, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.26-2.23]) at admission were found to be associated with adverse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: About half of patients with MIS-C had abnormal LV strain during hospitalization. 4CH-LVLS, mid-LVCS, the most abnormal strain Z score, and early diastolic longitudinal strain rate at admission were independently associated with in-hospital adverse cardiovascular outcome. These data may help early characterization and prognostication in MIS-C
