BACKGROUND The role of adjunct systemic corticosteroid therapy in children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is not known. The objective was to determine the association between adjunct systemic corticosteroid therapy and treatment failure in children who received antibiotics for treatment of CAP in the outpatient setting. METHODS The study included a retrospective cohort study of child...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The effectiveness of adjunct balloon dilation after drug-eluting stent (DES) deployment has not been sufficiently evaluated. We evaluated whether adjunct balloon dilation was associated with a reduction in major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) after long everolimus-eluting stents (EESs) implantation. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Drawing from 2 randomized trials, a total of 1,...

The 2016-2017 AACP Professional Affairs Committee (PAC) was charged to examine strategies to include adjunct/affiliate preceptors as AACP members and to determine the value proposition of AACP membership for this group of educators. The PAC defined adjunct/affiliate preceptors as preceptors who are neither full-time employees nor have a primary employment commitment (≥50% of the preceptor's wor...

Overview One of the mysterious properties of the so-called Swiping construction ([1,2,3]) is that adjunct PPs, but not complement PPs, can license Swiping ([1]). Contrary to this observation, we show that complement PPs can, in fact, license swiping, but only when they have undergone Heavy Shift (HS). Based on this novel observation, we make the following two claims. First, following [4,5,6], w...

Intractable epilepsy is a common clinical problem in pediatrics and approximately 13% of children with epilepsy experience intractable seizures. To determine the efficacy of pyridoxine in treating seizures, 30 infants and children with recurrent seizures were enrolled in the present study. All of them were treated with high-dose oral pyridoxine (40 mg/kg/day), as an adjunct to antiepileptic...

BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic shock is associated with changes in vascular responsiveness that may lead to organ dysfunction and, ultimately, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Volatile anesthetics interfere with vasoresponsiveness, which may contribute to organ hypoperfusion. In this study, the authors examined the influence of adjunct nitrous oxide on the vascular responsiveness after short-term h...

This paper gives a theory-neutral account of the Adjunct Island Constraint. I show that the island status of adjuncts is a consequence of two properties that set them apart from arguments: optionality and independence. Adjuncts can be omitted without affecting grammaticality as in (1), and if an utterance may contain adjunct a or adjunct b, then it may also contain both a and b, which is exempl...
