Many factors are known to influence physiologic jaundice in premature infants. However no studies have been reported of the effect intra-uterine growth retardation or malnutrition has upon the average serum bilirubin concentrations in "small for dates" infants. It has been a policy in the nurseries of the University of Vermont Hospitals to do serum bilirubins on all low birth weight infants (2,500 gm or less) on the fourth to sixth day of life. Any infant with a positive Coomb's test or clinical evidence of A.B.O. incompatibility was excluded from this review.

Information Theoretic Methods

This chapter examines and searches for evidence of fraud in two clinical data sets from a highly publicized case of scientific misconduct. In this case, data were falsified by Eric Poehlman, a faculty member at the University of Vermont, who pleaded guilty to fabricating more than a decade of data, some connected to federal grants from the National Institutes of Health. Poehlman had authored influential studies on many topics; including obesity, menopause, lipids, and aging. The chapter's classical Benford analysis along with a presentation of a more general class of Benford-like distributions highlights interesting insights into this and similar cases. In addition, this chapter demonstrates how information-theoretic methods and other data-adaptive methods are promising tools for generating benchmark distributions of first significant digits (FSDs) and examining data sets for departures from expectations.

The Northeast Modern Language Association had a very productive year. Membership now numbers 1,000 (roughly), and although the strike caused obvious difficulties for members located in Canada, even that “blank” seems now to have regained constituency. Modern Language Studies, the periodical sponsored by the Association and published at the University of Rhode Island, appeared with predictable regularity—a fall issue, a spring issue—under the editorship of Edna Steeves (for English manuscripts) and Armand Chartier (for modern language manuscripts). Happily, the arrangement will continue an additional two years, at least, for the agreement between the University of Rhode Island and NEMLA has been extended through 1978, including a partial subsidy by that University. A faculty member of NEMLA, for $6.00 ($3.00 for graduate students), has received two issues of MLS and the chance to attend the conference, scheduled this year at the University of Vermont, Burlington. (Membership dues will rise to $10.00 for faculty and $5.00 for students this September.)

The Center for Developmental Disabilities, a University Affiliated Facility Satellite, at the University of Vermont, has had a major role in facilitating community integration throughout the state. This article describes the development and implementation of a statewide interdisciplinary model for providing special education to learners with severe disabilities and the Center's role in facilitating systems change in early special education, recreation/leisure opportunities, vocational services, and family support.

General Sign

Many pathology departments are introducing subspecialty sign-out in surgical pathology. In 2014, the University of Vermont Medical Center transitioned from general sign-out to partial subspecialty sign-out to include gastrointestinal and breast/cervix subspecialty benches; other specimens remained on general benches. Our experiences with the transition are described, including attending pathologist, trainee, support staff, and clinician satisfaction. A survey was e-mailed to all University of Vermont Medical Center anatomic pathology attendings, pathology trainees, pathologist assistants and grossing technicians, and clinicians who send surgical pathology specimens, immediately before and 1 year after transitioning to partial subspecialty sign-out. Quality assurance metrics were obtained for the 18 months prior to and following the transition. Gastrointestinal and breast/cervix attendings were more satisfied with partial subspecialty sign-out compared to those on the general benches. Overall, trainees were more satisfied with general sign-out because of the rotation schedule but preferred partial subspecialty sign-out due to improved teaching and more focused learning while on subspecialty benches. Clinicians remained very satisfied with our department and our reports; no differences were observed. Turnaround time was unchanged. After switching to partial subspecialty sign-out, there were significantly fewer discrepancies following multidisciplinary conference review for gastrointestinal and breast/cervix cases but remained the same for general cases. Fewer formal internal consults were performed after transitioning to partial subspecialty sign-out across all areas, but more notable for gastrointestinal and breast/cervix cases. Our data show improved quality assurance metrics and trainee education in a subspecialty sign-out setting compared to general sign-out setting.

Objective: The objective of this simulation is to compare 24-hour vancomycin (Vanc24) dosage requirements between a target area under the curve (AUC) versus a target trough approach in patients with class III obesity. Methods: Adult patients were included if they received vancomycin in accordance with the University of Vermont Medical Center’s class III obesity dosage protocol from June 2016 through December 2018. Patient-specific pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated for each patient using the Sawchuck-Zaske method. For this simulation, Vanc24 dosages were calculated to achieve an AUC of 400 mg/L h and a trough concentration of 15 mg/L. Results: Sixty-three patients had Vanc24 dosage requirements calculated. The median age was 59 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 51.5-68), body mass index (BMI): 45.7 kg/m2 (IQR: 42.4-51.5), and 50.7% were male. The mean Vanc24 dosage requirements were 3995 mg (standard deviation [SD] ±1673) in the target trough approach versus 2783 mg (SD ±1149) in the target AUC approach ( P < .0001). Conclusion: A target AUC approach required less vancomycin over a 24-hour time period relative to a target trough approach. Vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring that explicitly targets AUC may reduce vancomycin exposure and potentially decrease the risk of nephrotoxicity in patients with class III obesity.
